Forum Discussion
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. 👍
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

Do you all want the computer to intentionally make bad calls? I know it can add a more realism to the game to simulate real life, but I personally don't know how I would feel if the computer intentionally gave someone a 1st down and I was out of challenges. Some players might consider that a bug since the game didn't perform "as it should have" which resulted in a loss for that game. I guess you could ask yourself whether the frustration that could come out of it that you would experience from games is worth it.
Right now, there situations where a player catches a TD in the end zone but their foot was out of bounds. So naturally, you want to challenge that because you think it's not a touchdown. This is actually a touchdown and the issue is that the animation for the player didn't exactly align up where it should have.- DJ_Englishman6 years agoSeasoned Ace
So, a challenge flag would let us review the aggreaved ref's call and on watching the play once more - 1) the animation would likely have corrected itself second time viewing so player's feel less aggreaved, or 2) it adds a new dimension to the game. Win-win.
