Bears 2010 - Sorry...end of Franchise!

Hi All!
I have been playing ahead of my write-ups and have been overlooking quite a bit in terms of the game play and the overall Madden 11 experience. But the latest has simply turned me completely off.

- I can overlook the commentary being out of sync regularly.
- I can overlook my being told I'm playing for the Super Bowl in the pre-season against the Browns before the game starts???
- I can forgive the shots of nobody just before an important field goal, then having the action cut to the kicker putting it through the up-rights.
- I simply do not know enough about the programming of the game to question how good or bad it really is (whether using default all-pro, Bills or Mike32Ownz sliders to try and achieve a realistic look and stats), so I'll reserve comment on the actual game play.
- I can even forgive Chris Collingsworth for repeating the same quarterback profile before every game

But sorry...I just filed the following in the bugs/glitches thread and frankly, this tears it. This is not an opinion on game flow or the game play. This is not a questioning of the timing of the play by play. This isn't even a judgment of whether Gus is better this year??? It is (to me) another fatal flaw in the game.

I think I'm just going to move on.
I'll go play NHL11...and maybe do a dynasty with that once the season starts?!?

IF and/or WHEN the Madden 11 game is patched or polished in some way so that it works, then maybe I'll pick it up again. I truly have given it my best shot!

Thanks for following to this point!!!

SYSTEM: Ps3
GAME MODE: Franchise (Coach Mode)
SITUATION (This includes down/distance/time left): Post Game Stats!
CUSTOMIZATION (Were you using specific sliders/roster edits): Bills Sliders
DETAILS (Please be as detailed as possible in text): Bears vs. Redskins Week 7. I'm getting stomped. BUT Grossman fumbles, Manning picks up the ball and goes 52 yards for a TD!!!
Play was challenged by Wash
The show endless replays of Manning crossing the goal line, NOTHING to do with the challenge of Grossman being DOWN before ball coming out
Play was eventually OVERTURNED
I lose my six points and game continues
At the end of the game the final is announced 23-0 in favour of Washington. I go to the game summary stats (to record for my Franchise write-up). I see a line score that shows 23-6 with the Manning Touchdown recorded in the 3rd quarter score box and also in the scoring plays!!!

With due respect, I have overlooked a lot of things in M11, but so many little things (or a rather significant error in this case) pop up that simply HAVE to have been recognized by anyone that created or tested the game IF THEY PLAYED SOME GAMES...even RIGHT NOW!

I am NOT a *****.
I have faithfully documented a couple of franchises in the OS dynasties.
But sorry, I'm out!
This game will sit on the shelf unless and until it's fixed.
I truly regret my purchase.

VIDEO (if available): No need!

I don't blame you at all, I gave up on Madden 11 a couple days ago as well, just way to many problems keep occurring that frustrate me like crazy. Some of the things are so obvious that no way they didn't catch them before release.
