I had to punt on 1st down n this game could not recognize that
To be fair, if I saw you come out in punt formation on 1st down I'd be in cover 2. Maybe the computer is doing exactly what most users would do.
A team in real life would not come out in a punt return formation. They would call a regular defense.
With the game on the line for a possible return did you not see what the dolphins did last year to the patriots on a return with no time left did u see the music city miracle all plays as there were many many others done on special teams yet your going to put your defense out there and let the ball get kicked downfield and drop and end the game .👍
Music city miracle wasn't a punt on first down. I'm sure you weren't alive when it happened, but you can see it on YouTube before you make ignorant remarks.
Again your missing the point....it was a special team play and yes I was alive when it happened in 1999 /2000 it was actually in January of 2000 also your not going to apologize? You said further down in the topic to link you the times it happened as it did ... you guys crack me up 🤣

Could you imagine a defense coming out on 1st down to a punt formation. The most unrealistic thing I’ve ever read is your statement on what you did, not the computer. This is the worst thread I’ve seen on Muthead for the 4 months I’ve been playing lol.
Bro, you don’t need to punt on 1st down. Just run that shit up the middle, you don’t need to punt on 1st lmao!
The OP goes way back with these posts. This particular brand of nonsense wouldnt even crack the top 10 of his greatest hits
Unfortunately if this game played correctly I could but as I just stated earlier I was about to score a td vs someone online qb sneaked with Vince young and fumbled all caused by the cpu I couldn’t do a thing and I e seen this plenty of times and did not want to sit thru a boring 50 game solo again so I punted with seconds left in the game due to it
If your team can't get a couple of yards against the CPU, u should probably reevaluate your team.
1st Down Punt???? 1. Not realistic in real life 2. Would seem like cheese or trickery and I'd want my regular defense out (just like the cpu) 3. This game is broken in all kinds of places (this isn't one)
Punting from the one is a super risky move. Just qb sneak it, game over.
I would give you 5 million coins if you would just go away and stop posting on Muthead but i know you would just create another account because you obviously need attention. IF THE GAME SUCKS SO MUCH JUST STOP PLAYING IT. If your punting on 1st down, your the problem, not the game
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 ?
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Please just quit. I highly doubt someone bought you the game if they know how much you bitch and moan about it. Just quit.
Rather than attack me personally( again ) ... why don’t you shed some light on why this happened and answer the question at hand - OH and By the way The clips of me winning the game has been documented on my channel since June you’re more than welcome to go visit and see .
"Why are the people in Call of Duty shooting me when all I want to do is run around and be friendly? Why are they not reacting the way I WANT THEM to react? This game is dumb." Same. Fucking. Energy.
No team in the history of the NFL would think "oh, they're punting on first down" in any situation. So no defense would come out in an actual punt return. You do that online, you're going to get the same exact response of an actual defense with no return man. Hell, punting from your own endzone in and of itself is risky so teams would rather try to run it up the gut 3 times to give their punter some room. You're grasping at straws to complain about, and that's just that.

Shooters is where your argument ends
This is a game that’s built off of what one person’s play selection picks so say if your on goaline it’s counter is goaline back if it’s 3rd down n you punt there’s a returner from the other team , if you pick a run play the game tries to Counter with its own run stop and so forth
I’m saying I picked punt and they did not come out with a returner I thought that was odd and I went into another solo and tried it again and saw that it was not programmed to do that in the game
I feel like you wanna argue more with me then to except that the game has a flaw here.
The game isn't flawed, your logic is. If a team, IN REAL LIFE, comes out in a jumbo/goal-line package on offense, a defense will not respond with their own goal-line package anywhere outside the goal-line. Why? Because that opens them up to a big shot downfield. If I pick a draw play out of Gun from my own 20, and the defense comes out in goal-line because it knows I'm running, how much sense does that make? You're nitpicking things you don't like about the game because you expect it to react a different way than what it's actually supposed to.
W T F. And just when I thought you couldn't make any worse threads
Yeah, I'm not around enough to get the jokes. But...I'm definitely getting this one.
I'd say that punting from your 1 actually put you more at risk of losing the game than running a QB sneak or FB Dive. Regardless, one of the dumbest complaint threads I've seen in a while.
I’d have to strongly disagree with you here because by me sky kicking it would kill more clock and my players would get down the field and make the tackle if someone was there but the game didn’t put anybody to return the ball so it just simply landed on the field and that was the game rather than me giving up a sack or fumbling or anything that happens in this wild game causing me to sit through another solo full game challenge I thought it was a good call.
Why would any defense come out in punt block on first down? Shoot if your gonna give me the ball give it to me. Im not gonna let you run a fake...
So if a team was going to punt in the NFL in this same scenario that I just explained you’re telling me the counter to that with the game on the line potentially them with an only chance to win would be by returning the kick that I punted and you’re not gonna have somebody back there trying to return it ? You sir you said you’re going to come out in pass coverage defense.... 👍
First, no team is going to do that in that scenario. AGAIN, much higher chance of a safety or a blocked punt since you're lining up 2-3 yards closer than you would on a normal punt.
Literally one of the most dangerous plays of the game. Second, who said anything about pass defense? He just said regular defense. As common sense would dictate.
But lets just say someone WAS dumb enough to call a punt on their one-yard line on FIRST DOWN. The OBVIOUS move for the defense if the game was on the line...would be to send just about everyone to try and block it. The punt is so much harder to get off as you get half a step instead of the 2 steps you'd normally get given you have 2-3 fewer yards to work with. So...yeah, most ridiculous complaint EVER on these forums.
So according to you the eagles and Patriots were dumb because they did this
No, according to me, you're lying and they did NOT do this.
AS I SAID, teams have done a quick punt out of a shotgun using their QB before on 3rd down(and nobody's done this in about 30 years, so you're lying just across the board).
But absolutely. I would say a team would be VERY dumb for doing this and I think it's VERY dumb that you brought this up to whine about since it's a COMPLETE non-issue. Got it now?
Keep punting on first down and let me know how your solo battles go.
Playing for the fake punt maybe
It’s first down..why would any D come out in punt? That’s good programming.
Seriously? So having nobody to return the punt is the right move? Kool
Yea... because 999/1000 times it is a fake. If a real football team is punting from their 1 in 1st they are running out of back of endzone for a safety and a clean kick. Have you watched the NFL, or have you gotten so used to calling punt squeeze and watching the CPU audible to verticals that you thought the opposite would work?
If it was a safety I would lose the game Also their only chance of winning would be to have somebody field the punt and hopefully return it .what’s strange is when you’re up in this game 30 to 10 with five seconds left the game still calls a time out yet it can’t counter a punt on 1st down with the game winnable if they fielded the punt .
I think teams used to punt on 1st down sometimes like 100 years ago but the game has changed a bit since then
Nope actually 4 yrs ago it was done by the Patriots also eagles did it a few times
No, they didn't. You're lying.
Teams USED to quick-kick on 3rd downs...and they'd do that out of shotgun when it was like 3rd and 25 and they were backed up. But no, nobody punted on 1st down 4 years ago. And they didn't do it "a few times."
Please show a link....
Wow it’s just one bug after the next so I was on my 1 with 7 seconds with the game on the line a regular solo game challenge 23-22 so I figured to punt on 1st down to avoid a possible fluke sack or anything causing me to play a whole game again and they can’t realize that I called a punt and lineup in the right formation they’re in regular pass coverage defense so when the game is over I just went to a random solo game and did this over and over again on first down and this was the same Outcome. Why does this ame in 2021 with 25 patches not no to come out in the right formation?
