Bug: Player has NO ability to call a timeout. Select button inactive, no "Call Timeout" available from Pause Menu. (3 timeouts remaining)
Location: Single Player
Priority: High (Would have been higher if I lost.)
Version: PS3 version 1.1 (updated today)
Skill Level: 'My Skill'

No video/screenshot available.

Franchise game, Chargers at Raiders (CPU). 8 minute quarters. 3rd Quarter, inside of 3:00 left. I had the ball and the lead and was taking my time selecting a play, milking the clock. I went out to the line of scrimmage with about :15 on the playclock. After setting, the CPU defense used it's Smart Defender Weapon to read my play. I called a few audibles and then decided to call a timeout - and couldn't. I mashed Select a few times with nothing. I paused and the 'Call Timeout' option was nowhere to be found. I had no option but to take the delay of game penalty.

On the following down, I paused again and the 'Call Timeout' option had returned. This was my first run-in with this bug, but I've read about it in other posts - perhaps it's an issue.

Occurrence of known issue: In this same game, I had the CPU HB catch a Swing Pass and run straight out of bounds before turning upfield, with ample space to maneuver. Please forgive me for no EASW Video. I'll be more mindful.

Bug: Online game crashes to lobby when Challenging a play.
Location: Online
Priority: High (if it repeats, online challenges would be F'd)
Version: PS3 version 1.1 (updated today)
Skill Level: 'My Skill'

No video/screenshot available.

Sorry, I had another one in the same night, but it's Maddenoliday. During Online Game, Saints vs. Raiders (you know who I was), 2nd quarter, Ranked Game.

My PS3 Online opponent, who rocked by the way, tried to challenge a Darren McFadden fumble recovered by the Saints. The referee cutscene played, we saw the replay and then like Madden would say, BOOM - "The connection to your opponent has been lost".

There was no disconnect from PSN - just between us and our game. I messaged the other player and he reported a similar experience.

Unless it's Server Maintenance in the last 10 minutes of 11p PST, something happened. Wanted to get the post in before trying for a rematch.

EDIT: Tiburon dudes, I played another Online game and used a Challenge -- no technical problems. Maybe I suffered an isolated online disconnect?

Bug: Green Bay Packers uniform selections are completely mixed up. The "throwback" is the 1960's white uniform, the other team also shows up in white jerseys. The "classic packers" is the right uniform, but both teams wear dark jerseys in game. The "classic white on yellow" is the 1994 blue throwback, and again both teams wear dark jerseys in game.
Location: pre-game selection and in-game.
Version: PS3 collectors edition
Priority: High if you're a Packer fan, probably low-med otherwise.
