Has anyone ever lost a Challenge on a Fumble?

[awilmot]

Has anyone ever lost a challenge attempting to overturn a fumble? I have never lost a challenge and I've done challenges where it was a clear case that a fumble occurred. It's practically a cheat code. In my last game, I had 2 fumbles overturned that shouldn't have.

Anyone else experienced this?

I can’t quite understand your scenario, but I’ve won challenges where they said my guy fumbled so I challenged and it was overturned and ruled he didn’t fumble.

I’ve also lost challenges when I thought my guy didn’t fumble, but the ruling was upheld.

One time I challenged a fumble because the CPU didnt and it obviously wasn't one. And I won! (Or lost depending on how you look at it)

I'm talking cases where my player clearly fumbles, and I knew it was a fumble but challenged anyway (mostly out of spite) and got the ball back because the fumble was overturned. I've never had a fumble call that I challenged be upheld

I literally lost a fumble challenge today and it even looked like he was down! Most times I win because I only challenge calls I see as pretty obvious.

I have lost a couple fumble challenges where I was the fumbling team, thought I was down, but the call was upheld as a fumble. One of them I basically threw the challenge away because I fumbled inside the five down two scores late and knew it was over unless it magically got overturned. The other that I lost I am still 100% certain I was down but I think it might have been a weird graphics thing.

I have also had two other really strange fumble challenges. One was on a recovery on a wayward option pitch, the defender that recovered it was clearly standing out of bounds but it was called a recovery when I challenged. Again, I think it was a weird graphics thing. The other is that I was not allowed to challenge a fumble where my runner was clearly down. I had a timeout left and had not used a challenge but for some reason the Challenge Play option was locked out. It ended up costing me the game.

For the most part, I think the challenge and booth review is handled well. I have had quite a few situations where I thought the computer/booth should have reviewed something that they didn't, including a play where I went up for a user catch, caught it but came down with both feet obviously out of bounds, and it was called a catch and not reviewed.

I despise the error-on-purpose simulated realism from a video game.

I mean I get why they do it - because bad calls happen in real life and they want to simulate realism by having the video game referees call a catch in bounds when the guy's foot was on the line.

But we are in a coded video game where the call can be precise every time -- a luxury real life officials don't have. Just get the call right from the start and spare us that mini game already.

Yeah, some of the "fumbles" look pretty bad/obvious. The same with catches out of bounds. Or how on The Show, only plays at 1B with less than 2 outs are able to be challenged. Every other base (and 1B with 2 outs) will be called 100% correct. It's odd and it seems forced to be in the games, because it's part of the real games. Once you get over the novelty factor, it gets old real quick.

You guys are doing better than me---I don't even see fumbles in my games at all!

If you don't mind my asking, whats your fumble setting at?

I wouldn't mind it if it was consistent. But since this is an EA game where animations don't always match the visuals I have lost challenges where people are clearly visually out of bounds but the game registered it inbounds anyway. If they ever had a completely dynamic system based on the visual animations the system would be amazing. I'm just glad phantom penalties "mostly" don't happen as well like they do in real life
