Re: Official Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

1. Whats the bug? Punt coverage team tips the football into the endzone, and player also walks through the endzone. Instead of a touchback, opponent gets the ball on the 1 yard line.

What game mode did you experience the bug/glitch in? (Gameplay, Franchise, Online, Front End, etc.....) Gameplay

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? I manually tried to keep the ball out of the endzone.

How often can the bug be reproduced? Not sure.

Do you have video or pictures? No.



2. Whats the bug? I called a timeout while on defense. The refs reviewed the play and overturned it. This overturn meant I did not want to use my timeout, but I did not get it back.

Re: Official Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

The bug: game freeze
System: 360
How to replicate: While editing the Saints depth chart (in both Online and My Madden menus), I switched up WR's then when I attempt to move to TE, it freezes. Happened to me 3 times in a row. (this is with the roster update available Thurs)

No bueno.

EDIT: seems like just trying to access anything past WR on the Saints depth chart causes it.
RE-EDIT: looks like it's strictly the Saints. I accessed the Packers TE, then changed teams to Saints and le Freeze. Ick.
ONE MORE EDIT, Temp-fix style: Depth chart in game works. Outside though, Saints players are hosed.

Whats the bug?

It allows you to import a draft class from NCAA but they are no where to be found once you import. It acts like it's loading the draft class but when you go to scouting it's generated players. I simmed to the draft and player are still not there.

What game mode did you experience the bug/glitch in? (Gameplay, Franchise, Online, Front End, etc.....)

Franchise

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it?

Tried it multiple times. Dookie suggested trying to use my 2013 draft class. Same thing happens. Tried to sim multiple years in and then import draft class and that still didn't work.

How often can the bug be reproduced?

Everytime you try to import. Cannot find a work around.

Do you have video or pictures?

N/A

Re: Official Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

Not sure if this is a bug or just poor art direction, either way its not a huge deal, but I'm sure there are some other uniform nuts out there that will notice this.

Whats the bug?

It appears that all players pad heights are too high IN GAME(Practice Exhibition, Etc), but when looking at them in Edit Player, everything appears fine.

System

360

How did it happen?

In Edit Player, the players pad height corresponds to the pad height slider, however once you go into a game, the pad height is higher than what it was in the edit player screen. If the user moves the pad height slider to the maximum, in game ,the pad height is even higher than that maximum setting. (you'll notice a players face mask going through his pads)

How often can it be reproduced

Always. The players pad height in Edit Player does not correspond to the players pad height IN GAME.

Any pictures/video?

Ill try to capture an image on my phone and see if it shows up clear enough to post.

Here are 2 images that showcase what i am talking about. The first image is from edit player, the 2nd is from practice mode. You can clearly see a difference in the height of the players pads. I did not change any slider. The 2nd image is taken immediately after leaving the edit player screen and booting up a practice mode. Maybe the devs did intend this.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Again i realize this isn't anything major, however I'm assuming the dev team didn't intend for this to happen.

Re: Official Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

Whats the bug? Incorrect Turnover number in "In Game Stats" at halftime....my RB (Shonn Greene) fumbled and Pittsburgh recovered it, I Challenged the fumble and it was Overturned, so I retained possession. At Halftime I looked at Team Stats, noticed it said we each had 1 Turnover a piece, however I did NOT have any besides the fumble that was Overturned by the Challenge. For the record, my RB Greene does NOT have a fumble in his individual stats, the only place it showed up was under the Team Stats.

What game mode did you experience the bug/glitch in? (Gameplay, Franchise, Online, Front End, etc.....) Gameplay

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? I did nothing besides challenge the fumble and got it overturned and retained possession....havent been in this situation before to know if this is consistent problem.

How often can the bug be reproduced? Dont know....first time I won a challenge to keep possession of the ball on a turnover.

Do you have video or pictures? Yes. I took a picture of my QB INTs (Sanchez - 0), my RBs Fumbles (Greene - 0, Tomlinson - 0), my opponents Defensive Stats (Pittsburgh - shows no INT or FF) and the Team Stats screen where it says I did infact turn the ball over once despite getting the fumble overturned.

Re: Official Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

Whats the bug? Player of the Game Award logic. I played a game with the Rams in which Steven Jackson had 220 yards and 3 touchdowns, and we won the game handily. The player of the game was awarded to a safety with 2 tackles and a fumble recovery.

Re: Official Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

Whats the bug?
A pass towards the sideline was ruled out. It was clearly in by a mile.
It was under 2 minutes so it was reviewed. They said the call was overturned but the announcers said the ref got it right after review and he was out of bounds. In the end it was still ruled out of bounds despite very clearly being in.

What game mode did you experience the bug/glitch in? (Gameplay, Franchise, Online, Front End, etc.....)
Gameplay

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it?
A similar inicdent happend later with the other team. They threw one towards the side of the endzone and it was ruled out. The review said the call stands and he was out but the announcers said he was in. It did correctly stand as out of bounds though.

How often can the bug be reproduced?
No idea.
Ok it just happend again. Said it was over turned but there was no change.

Do you have video or pictures?
No.

~~~

Whats the bug?
INT was close to the ground. There was booth review even though it was less than 20 seconds into the game. The other team wasn't charged a time out. Maybe I missed a rule change but isn't only automatic with less than 2 minutes in the half?

What game mode did you experience the bug/glitch in? (Gameplay, Franchise, Online, Front End, etc.....)
Gameplay

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it?
Nothing.

How often can the bug be reproduced?
It happend just after I wrote the last one so haven't seen it again yet.

Re: Official Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

Whats the bug? Game Freeze

What game mode did you experience the bug/glitch in? Editing the Ravens Depth Chart
How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? First I downloaded the roster update. Returned to main menu to get to Depth Chart. Auto arranged roster, then physically moved some players around. Once I reached CB the game locks up. Music continues to play for about 10 seconds, then the entire system freezes. Can't pull up the Guide panel or anything. I never played a game yet so I don't know if in-game Depth Chart will work. Didn't wanna jack up my online record. lol

How often can the bug be reproduced? Every time

Do you have video or pictures? No

Re: Official Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

Yeah, the thread got closed but oh well. Glad to see the guy was active on Twitter and the forums. Hopefully this'll be taken care of soon. (Maybe even a day 1 patch since technically the game isn't out yet..)

Hey Guys,

We just deployed a new roster update that should take care of the freeze issues you were experiencing with the Panthers/Saints/Ravens. Let me know if you're still having the same issue.

Thanks,

JD

Re: Official Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

Whats the bug? Ranked Match Roster Loading/Disconnect.

What game mode did you experience the bug/glitch in? Online Ranked Quick Match.

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it? Well, it all started when I wanted to play a ranked game for the first time this year. I had already played Franchise Mode and tested Superstar Mode. So, I go in, the new roster update is already downloaded, I select quick match, find an opponent, and it checks the roster. So I'm like, ok, this will be done soon, but then it disconnects me from the game and EA. So, I try again. Same thing happens. It then happens again and again after 4 more tries. So I took some advice to forward my ports. I do that after an hour, and my xbox is faster then ever. So I go into the ranked matches again, go into quick match. Same thing. Then I try another 2 times with no results. I'm really mad now, so I decide to clear my cache. I try yet again...... Same Thing. So I give up and play offline again and try later. I just tried about 10 minutes ago, and I'm still having the same thing.

As for recreating it, it only happens to a few people from what I'm aware of, so only some people will be effected.

How often can the bug be reproduced? Every single time I try to play quick ranked.

Do you have video or pictures? No I do not.

Re: Official Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

Whats the bug?
The commentators (or atleast Gus Johnson) call Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones the wrong name ('Julius Thomas', I believe),

What game mode did you experience the bug/glitch in? (Gameplay, Franchise, Online, Front End, etc.....)

No, but I could get a video if needed.

Re: Official Bugs/Glitches Discussion Thread

Whats the bug?
If you view a replay then go to create a highlight it'll show the PREVIOUS play as the highlight. EX: Play #1 is a 2 yard run. Play #2 is a 50 yard pass. Viewing play #2 as a replay then choosing create highlight shows the 2 yard run.

What game mode did you experience the bug/glitch in? (Gameplay, Franchise, Online, Front End, etc.....)
Front end I guess? During gameplay.

How did it happen or what did you do to trigger it? Can you recreate it?
I have no idea and yes.

How often can the bug be reproduced?
2/4 times.

Do you have video or pictures?
No,that's the problem. I saved it anyway but can't check what it actually saved.

~~~

Whats the bug?
Gus Johnson refering to Arizona's team as "the Cardinal".
