Fix the "Challenge Play"

[madghoul]

I'm all for the Coaches and Booth challenge play functionality. I've had some go my way and some go against. I think it adds an extra dynamic.

But please, EA, please... if I'm on third and 2 and my man gets stopped, and I challenge the spot of the ball, don't show my guy getting past the first down line if you're not going to reverse the play.

I've seen too many instances where the play should have been reversed (plain as day on the replay), but didn't. And ones where the play should have stood and didn't. And it's happened for both the CPU and me.

I agree 100%. Why in the world can't I challenge the quarterback's arm moving forward?!!

The thing I really dont like is Madden sometimes "makes the wrong' call on purpose. real football has human error involved, madden 'knows' what really happened. make the correct call.
IE: guy catches the ball completely out of bounds (not even close) and it will be rulled a catch to force you to challenge.

they do need to fix it...just the other night i attempted a pass to my fullback that hit him in the back and they called it a fumble....i challenged the play and lost..though u could clearly see the ball hit him in the numbers...he didnt even know a pass was coming

maybe it was a backwards pass, i tipped a pass once and it was ruled a fumble and i ran it all the way back for a td and i was like wtf and i asked my bro wat happened and the qb threw it backwards so it counts as a fumble

Or as with ESPN your the coach you decide on what to challenge, and if you choose the wrong thing well then you lost a T.O. ESPN has the best challenge system out there, you can challenge the fumble or catch the spot or arm moving forward etc etc, and you have to make the choice was it a fumble or the spot of the ball. Coaches challenges should be something you have to think about like in real life, when the Referee tells the coach he can challenge this or challenge that. You make the call coach!!!!!!

Very true, sometimes it's not even close. Same thing with fumbles, the guy is down for almost a full second then a fumble happens.
