Bears punter and kicker playing RT and RG?

[WildFan22]

In year two of my franchise as the Vikings and in week 2 I played the Bears. After the first couple defensive plays I noticed that the Bears offensive line had a couple guys with single diget jersey numbers.

After a closer look it was Maynard (Punter) and R. Gould (Kicker) at RT and RG. The best part is that I couldn't get around them at all. My D-end gets about 3 sacks a game and against R. Gould I never touched the QB.

After the game I checked out the Bears depth chart and R. Gould and Maynard weren't starting at those positions. The Bears RT and RG were healthy. Has anyone else had this happen?

No, but that sounds hilarious.

Not going to lie... A little part of me died when I didn't get a sack against R. Gould.

have you tried messing with auto-sub sliders?

Re: Bears punter and kicker playing RT and RG?

No this is the first time I've seen anything like this happen.

I haven't touched any sliders so maybe there is an easy fix to this. I'm hoping it's a freak accident.

Im in year 4 of my franchise and I had this happen to me in the first 2 games.

The first time the starting punter only played a few plays at RT.

In the second game vs a different team, the punter played RT all game and somehow held Ware in check.


All my sliders at set to default and the CPU had no injuries.

Re: Bears punter and kicker playing RT and RG?

yeah, ive seen this happen in older maddens. the only major exception is those teams usually have injuries, so they dont have enough players on the depth chart to use & they just pull out random players.

it happens with DBs as well. wrs & hbs often get put in there, which isnt so bad i guess. ive seen TO play db in real life.

I saw a similar thing happen to someone else in a different thread, involving the Steelers punter playing QB. But geez, not getting a sack against a punter, that has got to be a huge red flag concerning the ratings.

Yup, I used to see this all the time in Madden's past. Still couldn't bull rush past the guy.

The auto-sub feature may be to blame. It is not an intelligent system, so just as an example, if you're running a dime defense and the offense goes into hurry-up for several plays - when they finally do stop the clock, you may get all 3 out of 4 CB's and a Safety subbed at the same time.

It would be nice if there was a counter measure so that only 1-2 players at any given postion type were subbed at once.

On a side note - Last night when I was playing a few of my guys turned from green to yellow to red... then to white. once they went white, they seemed to stay that way. I'm not sure what it means though.

They were in the game from the start. I didn't see any injuries at those positions but I will look again.

This just goes to show that ratings and weight are not expressed as well as they should be. Thank God I haven't seen this in any of my games and I hope it doesn't happen anytime soon.
