Bug: Game freezes when loading user profile
Location: My Madden - Load/Delete
Priority: Medium
Version: PS3
Skill Level (if applicable): Pro / No Madden IQ

- After editing and saving my audibles I wanted to test them out in the practice mode. They were not showing up on the practice field, so I checked that they were still in place and attempted to reload my profile where they were saved. Each time (3) the game would freeze and I would have to bring up the XMB to quit the game.

Bug: Field Goals hitting the up rights and landing wide are counted as good.

- Happened vs the cpu and in a 2 player game.

Bug: Play challenged when no challenge was selected
Location: In-Game
Priority: High
Version: PS3
Skill Level (if applicable):

- I recovered a fumble that the cpu gave up. After selecting my play and having my offensive break the huddle, the game popped up the challenge screen saying that I was challenging their fumble. Needless to say the play was reversed giving the ball back to the CPU.

I went back and looked at the replay and it definitely was a close call, but not a fumble. So the refs got the call right after the challenge, only the cpu should have been the one to initiate it.

Bug: CPU not calling timeouts late in the half to force a punt when human player has 4th down and a running clock.
Location: In-Game
Priority: I'd say High
Version: X360 Regular
Skill Level: All-Pro / No Madden IQ

Exhibition game, Lions (cpu) @ Bears (me). It's the 2nd Quarter, about :15 on the game clock. I have the ball, and it's 4th and 10ish at about my own 30. The clock is running after a QB sack on 3rd down. The AI should be calling a timeout here to stop the clock and force a punt.

But it doesn't.

So I let the game clock wind down to :01, call a timeout, and throw a deep bomb... and score a touchdown.

Bug-Progression-This is basically non existent in franchise. I simmed 3 seasons with the Ravens and despite Pro Bowl seasons, players would not increase at all or at the most 2 points. In some cases they would start to decrease in overall and were still in their twenties.

Platform-PS3


Bug-Statistics-In the same franchise as mentioned above, stats were way off. In the three seasons, the whole Ravens D had a total of 7 forced fumbles. The most fumbles any player had was 6 at the end of the season.

Platform-PS3

Bug-Draft-In each draft I participated in in the above mentioned franchise, there would be at most 1 or 2 quarterbacks and halfbacks left to be drafted after the first round. This is with imported and created drafts.

Platform-PS3


Again, these are just a few samples of the flaws in each category above.(statistics,drafts,progression)There are many more examples of each,but these were the ones that I could think of off the top of my head.
