Back to I had to punt on 1st down n this game could not recognize that

Single thread,
bonethug0108

So your complaint is that you performed a completely unrealistic action?

What’s so unrealistic about it ? I was forced in a situation that punting would be the safest move in the game and the game did not come out in the right formation to counter that giving them a chance to actually win if returned and ran one back for 6 but regardless of if it was right or wrong so I’m confused by your reply ..what point are you trying to make here ?

Yeah, it's totally unrealistic. Most teams just run a QB sneak if they're that worried about it. You have a much higher chance of getting a safety if you try punting from the 1 yard line than you do of running a play.

And they always stay in a normal defense if you come out in punt formation on a non-punting down. This is the weakest complaint about Madden I've ever heard.

Is it “ totally unrealistic “ when it’s 30-10 with 15 seconds left and the game is still calling timeouts?

This is a complete lie. I know you lie all the time because you feel the need to complain, but why make stuff up? Like what do you even get out of it? The CPU will never call a timeout if you are up by 17 or more points.

Scourge00165

I don't know what you're babbling about now, but the game doesn't call timeouts when it's down by more than 17. So...there's that.

But that also wasn't what you were initially winning about. You were whining about how they come out in a regular defense when you put on 1st down. They'd almost certainly come out in base defense on 1st down on your own 1 no matter what formation you came out in.

Why is this a thread? Seriously? Did you really do this? And if so...why? You can't beat the CPU, you need to punt the ball on 1st down and then try it several more times just so you can complain about it? I mean...seriously, we get it, there are LOTS of problems with Madden. You just pick the DUMBEST shit to whine about.

Dreverse

So your saying your kool with a time out with 10 seconds left up by 17 that’s OK ?

Yes most teams IRL would run QB sneak to avoid a negative play or in this case a blocked punt. But this is Madden where nothing is realistic and a loss of yards on a QB sneak is common and a punt block is very uncommon. So you made the right call. Not sure why it matters what formation the CPU lines up in though.

Scourge00165

No...dude, can you read? The CPU DOES NOT call Time Outs when they're up by 17. You're making shit up here. They do it when they're up 16...NOT 17. Two scores. Anyone who plays this game should know that.

But that wasn't what this thread was about. So aside from the fact that I literally just pointed out that DOES NOT happen, HTF do you come back with, "so you're cool with," and you bring up something totally unrelated to the stupid thread you started?

Game isn't calling timeouts in those situations. Has to be a 2 possession game with less than 2 minutes in the second half if you have the ball. Enough with your BS.

Link me to a time in a real game where a team punted on first down and then we can have a realistic discussion regarding this.

Eagles did it plenty of times just google it ca mon man n pats did it to 4 yrs ago

I said link me. Someone with your reputation in the community needs to provide proof and doesnt get the benefit of the doubt. I'll entertain the possibility that it has happened at least once in history. Are you coming onto a forum in which you complain perpetually about how awful a game is, and expecting the game to be coded so flawlessly that it can guess that you are calling a play that has been called a single digit number of times (if at all) in over a dozen decades in the NFL? Get a hobby.

Just Google...my goodness

How was it the safest move if they could return it and beat you? How was that safer than any number of other plays you could have called? Would not have been my call but glad it worked for you.
