    What exactly CAN I challenge?

    I just lost a game because on 4th down and 19, the CPU completed a pass to a receiver STANDING OUT OF BOUNDS. Both feet completely on the white sideline stripe. I went to challenge it and it told me I could not (and no I hadn't looked at a replay. It was so insanely obvious I didn't need to).

    I kept a screenshot and video of the play I'll upload next time I get to my console but is that not reviewable?

    Not sure. Never been able to challenge in my online dynasty leagues.

        If the game shows any part of the replay when you are going back to the play call screen then they deem that as you watched the replay apparently. I've had that happen a few times. Other than that you should be able to challenge any play at anytime.

          Not sure about that. I've watched the replay that the game shows during the play call screen and have been able to challenge the call afterwards.

            I don't know then because I've tried it a few times after just watching 2 or 3 seconds of that, and the challenge is denied because I accessed/watched the replay.

              That's the way it has been in the past so I was surprised when I was still able to.

                Yes under two minutes. I guess I forgot that rule. Which wouldn't be so bad if the booth did its own review or the refs at least didn't make the worst call in the history of organized sports. lol.

                  I know in the past you couldn't watch the replay from the pause screen, but this year it has allowed me to watch the replay from the pause screen and still challenge. I've actually won 2 challenges because I checked the replay then challenged.

                    I'm just double checking, but you did have a timeout, right?

                      I had a pretty similar thing happen, except there was over 2 min left in the 4th and I was able to challenge. Yet the call on the field stood

                        Yeah I had 2 timeouts. And yes they do seem somewhat arbitrary on some things. The check to see if the guy's knee was down before the fumble seems to be accurate, but ones involving out of bounds catches seem pretty random. This one was hilarious. The guy was literally standing completely out of bounds when he caught it.

                        Now I know some people would throw their controller and quit the game after that cost them a bowl victory, and I have to admit it crossed my mind, but putting it in perspective I realized it could have happened either way. Unless this was the computer's "predestined" loss thing I hear about from many dark corners of the forum! lol

                          I thought you can challenge with under 2 minutes in college? I got screwed once when I fumbled like 2 seconds after I hit the ground and they recovered. I had no timeouts and I couldn't challenge, not a big deal the booth usually reviews it. The game continues without a review and I lose. If that was the CPU the played would have been reviewed a second after the play was over.
