does anyone else have a problem when clipping penalties are called. for me when they are called whatever yards I gained plus the 15 yard penalty are added to my rushing total as a loss. a Lee Suggs rush for 55 yards was called back for clipping on the opening play of a game and the stats showed Suggs with -70 yards rushing

Yeah, that's been a problem since the game has been released. I want to say that someone on the ESPN boards has said it should be fixed with a patch somewhere down the line.

It was fixed if you are Xbox Live. Are you on Xbox Live?

Ive only noticed 3 glitches, all good for me.
1. The computer misses a ridiculous amount of field goal, especially close ones.
2. The quarterback will throw a pass past the line of scrimmage (penalty)at least once a game for me.
3. The passing numbers are messed up (itll say 32 of 40 passing as a popup , then when i go into gamecast stats ill be like 35 of 44, its never correct)

I always get my 2nd and 3rd string QB's subbed in for my starters. Im a Lions fan, so I have to put Joey Harrington as my second stringer in order for the cpu to place him in the game as the starter. wtf?

Is that in a preseason game?

Nope, regular season. A friend of mine had it happen to him as well.

Same here, it swaps out my quarterback, running back, and wideouts. On some formations it won't let me switch some of the players.

On my Packers team on the Pro formation Couch and Davenport and put in instead of Favre and Green. I'm playing Madden more now just because of that glitch.

I haven't noticed any of these glitches, but there is a glitch in the offensive line blocking that really pisses me off. The guards will stand and watch as the D tackle runs right by him or will go block the end while letting the tackle kill my QB unblocked.

It is especially frustrating on Live whenever someone uses this to his advantage every damn time. I played last night where someone sacked me ten times using this glitch exclusively. I use a D linemen to rush and get 3-4 sacks/ game, but not like that. I wish they could fix this, but I'm sure it will have to wait until 2K6.

That glitch kinda pisses me off, cause it doesn't give you a decent chance to pass.

Exactly, and everyone is open downfield, but it doesn't matter. I have tried to run to that side, and hope they get in a different defense. Slants are open, but I can't get the damn ball off. It seems that most people do this with the Pats or Eagles in bear defense. Tell me if you have any other ideas because my poor Falcons O-line sucks, but not this bad.

Try roll outs or hot routing your RB to pass block. Might buy a second or two to get the pass off. I have the same problem playing online with the Lions. Some guys do this all game long and are constantly in my backfield.

As far as the roster problems, I have never seen or heard of that. Are you guys adjusting them on the depth chart or on the substitution screen? The depth chart does it for all formations and the substitution will only do it for certain formations (I believe).

Also, I am using the Lions as Rob V. and have not had a problem with Joy Harrington not being my starter.

They seem too quick for me to even get a chance to roll out. Great idea about the RB. Hot route for blocking is clicking the right stick, right? I've never used this, but it sounds like a good idea.

Yeah...good luck, this is a very annoying problem

Yeah, then there is the fact that you only have a few roll out plays anyway so you are stuck with 3-4 passing plays to use.

I need to find some new pass plays to use for long distance (3rd and 12). I like two plays in an open formation (no back) and this is terrible when playing a cheesin' bastard. I will have test out some quad pass plays or something to utilize my back blocking.

The only problem with that I've had with hot-routing, is that you cannot tell your RB where to block. He may not block a rusher from the side that you want him to block, which may leave your qb open for a sack.

I can say I've seen most of these glitches. I wish I could get my o-line to block the linebackers in a 3-4 defense, they only want to block the d-line. I've gotta say the negative rushing yards is at the top of my most-hated glitches ever list.
I have come across a new problem though, my game stalls when I try to make substitutions during regular season games in season 3. It also stalled while playing the game one time. Anyone else?

i too have seen most of these glitches. I think they made the scrambling QB's too fast too. I hate playing against guys who use either the Cowboys, Eagles, or Falcons because all they do is drop back and then scramble with their QB for 15-20 yards a pop.

Yeah, I played a guy like that last night. Now is the time that I need to master the art of defensive "hot routing" or whatever the term is, such as the spy QB action and delayed blitz. I think if you did this then you may be able to stop play like that.

Beyond these other glitches, has anybody had the commentary get delayed to the point where it actually hangs up the game to the point of freezing up?

The disc just spins and spins, and I can access everything, but can't hike the ball.

You wouldn't want to play me then. If my first two reads are covered, I'm running with Vick. I know what you're talking about, though. I have played many people with the Eagles that call a pass play with no intention of passing and scramble with McNabb for 10-15 yards. At least if I call a pass play, I want to pass. If everyone is covered, then it is smart to run though.

So are 23 interceptions with Mark Bulger in 6 games considered a glitch? Basically I cannot throw the ball A.) inside the 20 yard line OR B.) less than 3 minutes in the game.
