Season 9 - S9 Programs - week of Jun 10

An additional, unrelated bug...

This is in the usual bug infested Team Pass area that normally has trouble with Kickoff Yardage or Rushing Yardage/Touchdowns.

This one is odd by Madden bug standards...All of the long term achievements in the Team Pass area seem to be incrementing without actual relation to getting some/all of the achievements.  It's hard to describe, but I'll try.

After a couple of weeks of Season 9, I haven't been doing any rushing, except for small amounts when one of the Field Pass objectives required a Rushing Touchdown. No biggy, I never finish the Rushing Attack by the end of a given season, I don't have the time (or desire) to grind 36,000 rushing yards on top of all the other objectives.

But, today I noticed when going through the Team Pass list, it had me at (notice the similarity) 51 Ground' n Pound, 51 Gunslingers and 51 Lockdown and 51 Run It Ups. Hmm. I see a pattern. As mentioned, I had done little or no rushing yards so far in Season 9, in fact I'm pretty sure I actually had ZERO Ground 'n Pound (get 100 yards rushing in a game), so for it to be 51x and for all the other smaller achievements to ALSO have 51 as their current tally was obviously a bug.

It must be carrying over from somewhere else because it's incrementing after the fact correctly -- I had decided to play 5 x The League games and run in all of them since the S9 Programs weren't released this week.. and low and behold guess what.. The 51 + 51 + 51 + 51 tally's ALL incremented by 5 (the number of games I played in The League) but I only earned one of them -- Ground 'n Pound, I was getting lots and lots of rushing yards, way over 100 per game... But I got ZERO passing yards (and Gunslinger went from 51 to 56) I did score 21 or more points (Run it Up) so that incremented correctly and I held AI opponent to < 21 points (Lockdown) so that incremented but the Gunslinger was bogus.

Further information about the "bug" mentioned in the second post...

Participation in a game. ANY game. This counts as if you actually completed an achievement. Here's my findings.

All of the smaller achievements mentioned in the post (they started at 51 each, 5 games in the League got them to 56, see above) just incremented by playing one game in The League (playoff level after the 5 regular seasons mentioned) and THREE Ultimate Legends games. 

I received badges for 60 games in Gunslinger and I didn't pass for 150 in the three Ultimate Legends games and had 0 yards passing in the The League -> Playoff game, so I was rewarded this 2 star badge for simply playing 4 games -- notice, I was at 56, and 4 games gave me 60, so the bugged system is giving completions for simply playing any game.

I also got 2 star badge for Ground 'n Pound (60 games running 100 yards per game, I did run for over 100 yards in the League -> Playoff game, but didn't get anywhere near 100 yards in the three Ultimate Legends games, so I got credit for simply playing the 4 games (started at 56, ended at 60, boom 2 star badge).

I also (also) got 3 star badge Run It Up (score 21 points in 60 games) and again, the Ultimate Legends was one Defense objective, so I didn't score in that game, but I did score quite a bit in the League -> Playoff game, and I scored a few touchdowns in the first and third Ultimate Legends challenges, but I can't remember if they went above the 21 points, but it didn't really matter because I earned the achievement nonetheless.
