@EA_BlueberryI share similar frustration as @bcongero2. I'm a little over 50 games into my Madden online H2H season and I haven't encountered a single instance where a play could be challenged - but many that should have been.
Here's a video I made featuring a game against the Bengals where my opponent was gifted 56 yards of a 66 yard drive in the final 0:19 seconds of the 4th quarter on three plays:

Not only was I unable to challenge these, because they were within the last 2 minutes, but I had a more recent game where I should have had a pass play called back that my opponent couldn't challenge well within the time frame when challenges should be working. During those times the challenge button says "There is nothing to challenge on this play."
@bcongero2That said, RELAX! Tantrums work better when dealing with moms. There are very few moms here.
The man asked for a video so he could present your issue to people that could do something about it. Blowing up in a forum doesn't help. Threatening to never buy the product again also, does not help (they already have your money AND you still can't challenge on this game). So, since you are not the only person with this as an issue, I posted the videos for you.
Now give them some time to do their part - and you might see challenges working as expected. You can either wait to play more Madden until after the team address the challenge system, or play knowing that the challenge system does not work without freaking out.

EA hasn't addressed a single problem with Madden since '15. It's getting real old. Can't believe I keep wasting my money on hot trash games from EA.

I get how after some games you can be frustrated and feel the need to vent it somewhere, but that type of feedback doesn't really give us any information on what we should relay back to the dev team on what they should address, nor does it really promote any healthy discussions here.
The Community Managers here are responsible for letting the Madden team know what issues are affecting players in which they should prioritize to address and what features of the game they should look into adding/tweak/remove. If there's something particular since Madden 15 you want addressed please let us know by creating a topic for discussion so we can gather some sentiment around it. 👍- MaddenUniversity6 years agoRising Veteran@EA_Blueberry You said that better than ever could have...

What's happening more or less is when the game makes a mistake and calls a complete catch when it's obviously not, or calls a run no TD when it obviously was we the players have no way to challenge said play.. A challenge system is advertised and there's even a option in the pause menu, but it's locked and does not work.... Ever... Been playing for like 3 months now and I haven't been able to challenge a single play at any time. It just doesn't work. And I also saw that it's not ment to work in head to head play which is insane. That's really the only time a feture like that would amount to anything is in a game where awards and ranking come into play, I don't really care about challenging a play in a exabition game with my buddy on the couch... But when I'm playing for a large reward in a tournament setting and my opponent catch's a ball out of bounds and goes on to beat me because of said incomplete pass that was mistakenly called complete I'd like to have an option to rectify the situation.. look EA Im not in the opinion of alot of people thinking this game is trash, it's a good game and it's fun. But it's also expensive, and the fact that unless you take part in micro-transaction's (which is probably the trashiest idea the video game industry has ever had, I mean could you be more thirsty.) Your probably not gonna be very competitive in online play. We put ALOT of hard earned cash into your brand and we deserve better then this. Oh and also a part of a challenge is I have to throw a "Low Pass" which I won't even touch on how stupid this is. When I played football we called that a bad pass.. But I digress, every time I throw the Low pass it registers as a high pass even when my receiver has to do a cartwheel to pluck the ball off the turf it claims I just threw a high pass, which as you can see makes the challenge completely impossible no matter what I do I'm going to fail cause the game claim's the pass I just rocketed into the dirt is a high pass... Yeah that's crap, I'd like to see these things corrected please we spend way to much money on this game to be dealing with this kinda stuff.

They never fixed the challenges... Lmao.... I've always wondered about this.... My question is... When can you challenge... Because I have never encountered a situation where I was able to... And if it is only against the computer... That's stupid, cause ye it really doesn't matter much, and it doesn't let.me challenge against the computer in MUT
