That is the answer that sums up Madden and all of it's problems and bugs.

Re: Explain this box-score.

Was your turnover a fumble? I have seen a returned fumble count as negative rushing yards for the offensive team.

No, I had 2 turnovers. Both int's by Flacco.

I just am still in shock that something like this could occur. I'm in more shock with this than I am of when my QB got called for holding on a pass play.

Re: Explain this box-score.

How many sacks did you take? That counts as negative yards as well

Sacks count against rushing yards in college. to my knowledge sacks count against passing yards in the NFL.

I took 3 sacks, but not 120 yards worth.

Sacks are always rush yards. Seriously take 5 seconds and look up the rules instead of spreading ignorance.

looks like you should take your own advice. sacks in college go against rushing yards, not in the pros. check your QBs rushing yards after a sack, you'll be surprised

Excuse me? Sacks count against passing yards. Not individual passing yards but team passing yards.

Sacks are rushing yards in college.

In the NFL it counts against the passing yards. One of the very big differences between the 2 levels.

Damn replacement refs.

Re: Explain this box-score.

Sacks count against rushing yards not passing yards. The only way to get negative passing yards is throwing behind the LOS.

You are wrong.

Sacks count against the team passing yards. Play a game. Throw for 300 yards, and take 28 yards in sacks. The number will be 272.

Sacks count against rushing in college. in the NFL sacks count against the team passing yards.

Also, how can I run for 197 yards with 2 players, but have only 71 in the box score? The other runner only ran for -2.

Now I'm wondering how many other box-scores have been completely screwed up by the game?

For those who think I'm making it up. Here's a video that I just snapped:

For the rushing yards, I wonder if it's somehow subtracting everything from the first guy on the list. In this case, Rice - Allen - Flacco = 72. So I'm missing a yard, but it's really, really close.

Other thing I noticed was your total yards are off by 113. The difference between the amount the total yards are off and the total offense is off is 40, which is one more than the total penalty yards (39) by the Ravens.

Just spitting in the wind and probably just coincedence the numbers lined up that closely, but I couldn't help but notice.

Of course, like someone said earlier - "Bad Programming" nice catch all reason, and obviously no one decided to get out excel or a calculator to do a quick run through to make sure the stats are reporting correctly on the box score.
