You started a bugs/glitch thread, just to start it instead of pointing out one? LMAO I love this time of year.

Franchise Mode glitch: When you "sort" (X button) the players by potential when you scout them... After you scout them the game returns you back to the players list as usual, but the names of the players are jumbled together.... I call it the "Bag O' Names" glitch.

So for example if you want to scout T. Tebow, the bottom half of the screen will say T, Tebow, but the Top half that shows the details will display M. Stafford or P. White... So you actually either have to leave the menu entirely and go back in to get it to match up or you can try pressing the "sort" button which is "X" for 360 and it may make them match up again... This glitch is on every player and every position... I scouted the wrong 10 wrong players before I found this...

I have a few:

- Ive had two occurances where near the end of the first half, the cpu has chosen to punt the ball on second down.

- Clock management: Ive seen the CPU chose to kick a field goal instead of take a shot at the endzone with 10-12 seconds left and one time out left.

- On several occasions, Ive seen the cpu run out of bounds instead of turning up field. The same bug is in ncaa.

Did anyone else notice there are two of these threads? And they're both stickied? Or am I just seeing double..

One is to post the bugs so the developers can take care of them and this thread is for the community to discuss how we feel about the bugs.

Is the magnet hands bug still there? The one where two guys will be near the ball and somehow one of the guys catches it even though it wasn't truly aiming at his direction.

I dont know if this would count.

Check out this vid posted by PastaPadre.

Go to the first video.

And tune it to 5:51.

Favre does a reverse pivot (the pitch is to the left) and he opens to the right.

The only problem is that Favre can't possibly see Thomas Jones breaking left and pitches it anyway.

The ball appears to suction left and slightly forward to Jones' hands.

Its nothing big (def not a game killer) but it just looks a little ugly.

The widescreen VGA glitch really sucks. I use VGA cables. I am going to be pretty pissed if I have to buy new cables to play the game.

I use VGA at home and I'm having no problems.

I've discussed this before, but the problem here is actually a replay problem - this cannot actually happen in game (the hands have physical bones and the ball cannot pass through them).

However, in replay, we are sampling the animations at a lower rate (so we can record longer replays), so the animations interpolate and show things that didn't really happen. This is way more apparent in the EASW videos because those are sampled at an even lower rate...that's why you see those things like the ball not rotating or the player's legs not extending etc.

Re: ***Official Madden 09 Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread***

The one thing that is really bothering me (beside the lack of AI sliders), is the damn CPU running out of bounds. I thought I read this was being addressed, but in case I'm wrong...it really needs it.

Edit: I see it's listed as a *possible* for patch #2. I have to say it needs to be moved to a definite. It's not an occasional happening, it's something that stops nearly every CPU drive. I see it was called a "Ghost Juke", but this happens when there is no reason for the CPU to be juking. All alone, 5 yards in-bounds, with an open field in front of the ballcarrier, and they run out of bounds.
