Lack of Coaches Challenges

It also amazes me that it's more than eight years since the coach's challenge was instituted in the NHL, and that's still not in the video game. That could really add nuance too. Just think about the fun that could arise from having the ability to decide whether you want to challenge an offsides call, a delay of game call, or a goalie interference call. And it could be like MLB The Show a bit. The game could show you a replay and give you a certain amount of time to decide whether you want to challenge the call.

  • And I do think that there should be an option to decide whether you want failed challenges to result in 2-minute minors for delay of game. I'm not really a fan of that, but I do think having the option would provide good middle ground. 

  • They don't want to add those to the game because that would mean the game could purposely make mistakes/try to screw you over at times and nobody wants that

    @Camels5Algae As much as I would like it I’m glad they haven’t added it. I hate when a game messes up just for you to challenge. I want it right the first time, plus if we are going by EA logic there’s plenty of times I’ve challenged in Madden for a spot of a ball to even a catch and the game still be wrong! 😂😂😂

    This one time, forget the year of the game, I thought I got the first down. Game said 4th & inches so I challenged. Game said I won the challenge 4th & 2 😂😂😂😂 man I chucked my controller

    True. If it would be flawed, then I don’t think I want that either since some calls are really close and are made difficult by cameras just not being able to see everything.

  • @Camels5Algae They can't even program the opposing AI coach calling a timeout down one w/ two minutes to go. I don't see them adding challenges— esp when they will just be broken like Madden

    The only thing I will add is that is if it's not good why have coaches challenges and booth reviews in madden (an EA title)? Seems odd if its so hard to get it right? Plus right now inference calls on goalies barely work properly on it's own so being able to challenge them would actually maybe help it..... Would give it a revamp overall? Plus a game like MLB the show does have it working well so it is not impossible it just needs effort and care put into it.
