The Weirdest Game Glitch I Have Ever Seen

[CrazyOldGuy]

Year 4 of my dynasty...
Idaho vs. Hawai'i

As I do my presnap read I noticed the Vandals don't seem to have enough men on the field for defense... wow .. so I snap the ball and throw it to an uncovered reciever. As he goes up field I noticed what appeared to be a SHOE chasing him from behind

Idaho is the visiting team and they are in White so at FIRST I thought, well maybe there is a graphics problem and I'm just not seeing this guy.

So after the play is done I go to replay....and I find what I thought was the SHOE...

As I studied it closesly it wasn't a SHOE or a Partially Visible defender from bad graphics but actually a SMALL, I MEAN TINY player.. so I flipped over to rosters and SURE ENOUGH.....

IDAHO HAS A 7 INCH (yes that's INCHES) LINEBACKER... He's a freshman bless his tiny little heart and he has good speed (80) but he's only 7 inches tall.

Since I run a ton of spread the Idaho Coaches (aka the cpu) decided to play him on the line in their nickel package. So of course I had to run that way, oddly enough although he was only 7 inches tall my tackle had to stand straight up to defend him, so he must be fiesty!


I swear this is a true story, a 7 inch defender, and no I was not enjoying any adult beverages last night. The only thing I can figure out is the cpu during the creating recruit phase screwed up when it got to his stats.. he was listed as '7 in height so I figure he must have got shortchanged.

COG, dude where have you been? this is old news lol. shocked the hell outta ya the first time you saw it though didn't it? you should see him when he runs with the ball. all you see is the ball moving. it's hilarious

I laughed so hard while reading this. This might actually inspire me to start a dynasty to go along with my online play. That is crazy. I love "the shoe" chasing the wr.

Year 5 of my dynasty and the 7 inch LB is still playing for Idaho.

The Idaho Coaches actually had him jump up and play a little DE. This didn't bode well for him as my RT is a 6'5 300 pound All-Wac performer. Still the little guy had guts he had 2 tackles (shoestring tackles).

G-D I admire him, however I was thinking that it just isn't right and maybe one of my assistants should take the job with Idaho and get him some serious strength and conditioning workouts (ie allow me to edit the rosters so I can increase his height maybe to a Sam Mills-esque 5'8). Any thoughts... I have to play him for two more years?

I did scan the recruiting list last year and plan to do so this year.. see if there are anymore '7 players from the land of Lilliput.

HOLY JUMPING JESUS, I have known about this issue for a while now and have even recruited my own ankle-biter but I just spit a whole mouthful of pepsi all over my desk after reading this.

3 year against Idaho.....

Would you believe Mr. J. Porter is Idaho's Impact Player... all .7" of him, wow talk about overcoming adversity.

I love EA's programing department. :rolleyes:

Well if he is an impact player atleast he will be easier to find on the field.
