Operation Sports Forums - View Single Post - Should Y-Trips = Illegal formation Penalty?????

Moses06 · 07-29-2008, 09:50 PM

The reason that I ask is because the tackle isn't allowed to be the last man on the line of scrimmage (so I was told while playing high school & college ball). He has to be "covered up" by an eligible receiver. On the game, in the I Y-Trips, Strong Y-trips, & Weak Y-trips, the tackle is the last man on the line. According to NCAA & NFL rules, wouldn't that be a penalty every time a team ran a play from those formations? The formations have been in both ncaa & madden for years and it irks me to no end.

So I ask, am I getting annoyed for no reason or is this really another "oversight" on EA's part?
