Chop blocking is eleagle..

So, not sure if you guys were aware, but chop blocks are 100% eleagle in the NFL. I mention this because I get chop blocked probably every single game I play. In H2H, in Solo-battle's, in every game mode really, and it has never been called. We're not talking about a BS penilty here either, chop blocks earn a 15 yard penilty. I guess I just don't understand why the AI that I'm facing has been programed to cheat on a regular basis, and nothing is ever done about it. Oh and I'm playing a Solo-battle against a 84 ovr team, and I'm kinda confused as to why there's a 99 rated Berry Sanders, and a 99 rated Pat Tillman on this team.

    Sounds like the 99 Barry Sanders and 99 Pat Tillman were the best players on their team with most of the other players being below an 84 rating to average it out.

    If you come across a situation where a chop block resulted in an unforgiving outcome, please share the video here with us. We'll get that over to the team so they can understand how player animations are being perceived a chop block. As far as I'm aware those aren't programmed into the game, so it's likely some player movements mimicking a chop block. The team took out certain penalties from the game or drastically reduced the occurrence of them to avoid random events leading to frustrating experiences. For example, holding calls were quite common in earlier Madden games but when you received a random holding call after converting a 3rd and 20, as much as it could be realistic that usually didn't lead to a fun experience in the long run.
