Community ManagerRe: MUT Challenges - Clock running after Bounds
Is it under 2 minutes when this happens? Because if you run out of bounds the clock will still run per the NFL rules.

It happens on all challenges, in all quarters, and outside of 2 minutes. It makes certain challenges impossible and others incredibly difficult. Started happening since the January update for me.

Do you have a recorded clip of your gameplay so we can have the team review it? How do you need a video clip of it happening when it's a constant occurance for anyone who tries to do a MUT challenge in either madden 21 or 22? Its been 2 games and you havent fixed the simple issue. You obviously only care about making money but come on EA. Stop choosing to be a joke
- EA_Blueberry@mikespike3313 I haven't experienced this myself, or I at least never noticed.
Flagged it down to the Community team to check out when we play tonight. I've had cases in the past where players claim it should have stopped but didn't know the NFL rules, which is why I was asking questions on what quarter they were in.
It can help to know what challenges this is happening in and video footage can help the QA team determine what could be triggering the bug.
This was the only thread I've seen on this. I checked the subreddit and found nothing related there. When the clock is running despite going out of bounds in the 4th quarter, I'd imagine we would get a lot more feedback around this from the community because it would have resulted in a lot more failed challenges from players. - EA_Blueberry
We tested this last night and did not experience any issues. Here is the NFL rule below. If you are seeing the clock run outside of these rules, please provide video.
If a player with the ball goes out of bounds within the last two minutes of the first half or the last five minutes of the game the clock will stop until the next snap of the ball. In order to be ruled out bounds a player must be making forward progress until he goes out of bounds.
NFL rules state that the clock should be stopped at any time the ball is out of bounds
