worst calls you've seen in Madden

I was playing 04 tonight on my computer. opposing receiver was at least a foot (in scale with the player's size) past the out of bounds line when the ball came. by the time he had control he was off in the green on the other side of the line. totally out of bounds. gets called out. But since it was in the last 2 minutes it was automatically reviewed and the official reversed the call

Yeah, I've seen some bad ones like that get reversed as well.

I'm playing 2005 online and there are some cheap bastards, I'll tell you what. Blocking every punt...ridiculous. I only play with friends now.

why is it cheap to block punts?

because it's too successful once you have the timing down. what's the point of punting when you don't know how to stop the punt block of the guy you're playing against? might as well go on 4th down.

I see incompletions that should be fumbles. There are times when you're sacking the quarterback and, without being deflected, the ball goes backwards and they call it incomplete. But, as in the NFL, if the ref whistles it, the play is dead.

I get pass interference calls against me all the time when I'm no where near the receiver. Normally I'd just suck it up and forget it but it usually happens on a deep pass and usually when the game is at stake.

I haven't messed with the gauges at all and I don't think I've gotten a single pass interference call (playing on all-pro, if that affects things) which can be just as bad.

I've never gotten a pass interference call either and haven't adjusted any of the settings for stuff like penalties. most of what I get are face mask penalties, usually the 5 yard kind
the replay is kind of cool though. it got used against me last night but I using the one angle the game showed I don't think it was cheating that time
