Unacceptable EA

[DukesofHazzard]

I had a video but apparently the file is to big. The CPU receiver took one of my dB's out of coverage but no offensive pass interference which let to a wide open receiver for a touchdown. Now I'm Utep and I'm playing Nebraska and my receiver fumbles the ball but he was clearly down, I had no timeouts and there ward no automatic review. Next time I got the ball same thing happened and no review. This game is to much like madden

Re: Unacceptable EA

Just to be clear, you’re saying that you saw bad officiating and you’re saying that is unacceptable?

Sounds a LOT like college football to me. [emoji6]

This is completely different than 14. Every fumble was reviewed in 14 and it seemed like only the QB was guilty of fumbles. I had a bad fumble ruled against me and expected a review. It wasn't coming so I called a review at the last second and got the ball back. Neither implementation is correct in my opinion, but a call that close should have been reviewed.


I have never seen OPI called in this game yet. I don't know if it is implemented or what you have to do in order to get flagged for it.

Re: Unacceptable EA

i think the pass interference/illegal contact penalties are almost entirely based on the angle the contact occurs. because on default penalties ive seen negligible contact not initiated by me gets me a flag and other times when im shocked i didnt get a flag. specifically to your non pi call if it was a pick play which it sounds like i dont think they code for that so you can essentially get away with murder and it will be considered incidental contact.


also like poster above said on default im not sure i can recall any offensive pass interference call.

I've had a couple of instances where OPI has been called. A lot of times it happens on RPOs where the WR is blocking.

Welcome to college football. If you watch college football IRL every week you'll see how bad refereeing is in college football. PI in general is one of the more difficult things the officials have a hard time with especially when most of the officials are in their 50s and 60s and cant move as fast as the high level athletes they are officiating. So in a way EA has been accurate with the missed PI calls.

It’s definitely implemented as I’ve had it called against my team multiple times (not sure if I’ve seen it called against my opponent). It is certainly one of the rarer penalties in my experience, but not as rare as facemask.

Lol. Sounds like pro football too. In fact , sounds college basketball, pro basketball, baseball
To err is human, to forgive a ref is unacceptable . Lol.

Re: Unacceptable EA

I’ve had to challenge multiple fumbles and won. I’ve also seen the CPU challenge and win, and lose some too. The animations seem to be correct in regards to getting the call right, I haven’t lost one where he looked to be “clearly down”

It’s good to save timeouts for such events, just not always possible.

I’ve rarely seen PI called either way, but it’s exceptionally rare on default sliders

I get it, the game can be frustrating when it doesn’t break your way. I wouldn’t call it unacceptable unless it was an every game occurrence

Incredibly enough we had two DPI calls in our game this morning (Year 6 Week 1 Alabama at Clemson) one of them negated an INT.

They happen….but not as often as it should. They also seemed to have completely nerfed facemasks.

All I see regularly are:

Holding
False Start
Offsides
Block in the Back

Hey…..not complaining. It’s a lot better than nothing. Amd all these apply to Madden 25 as well.

I use your sliders and you’re 100% correct. Even on other sets i never saw facemask. Back in the day trying to strip the ball increased the likelihood

I got a RTP call against me (CPU controlled player), almost 5 total years of dynasty and that was a first where it wasn’t actually my fault

If RTP is roughing the passer, I’ve turned that down to where I don’t see it often because before I changed it I’d have it called a TON (like averaging more than once per pass heavy drive). I still see it, but it’s much more toned down for me now.

Re: Unacceptable EA

I got called for defensive pass interference on a play where the QB got sacked.


Isnt the rule in college only when the ball is in flight?

Yes, and I was just about to mention that until I got to this comment.

I've seen a ton of videos where players complain about "defensive pass interference" that doesn't get called, but the video is showing contact before the pass was thrown.

That WOULD BE a penalty in the NFL, where it's "illegal contact" to make contact with an eligible receiver past 5 yards.

Crucially, though, college football has no such rule. Holding a receiver is a penalty. Contact while the ball is in the air is a penalty. But contact while a receiver runs a route, before the pass, is not. College receivers can get bullied all over the field, as long as they aren't held and the quarterback hasn't made a throw.

And that is why college football is better. The NFL is a joke in how it favors offense these days.

At least receivers have to earn position on the ball before it takes flight in college.

The NFL they are divas. And constant crying from QB’s, WR’s and coaches. It’s a joke.

College ball is not perfect….but man it’s a lot more physical these days than NFL in terms of pass defense.
