Should the Calvin Johnson Rule Be 'In The Game' (Madden 15)

[hustlehard0785]

Nope. Because if they have any sense, they will change that rule this offseason!

OR AT LEAST GET CONSISTANT

If at 1:45 highlight is ruled a fumble, then Dez was certainly down inside the 1 yard line!

No I dnt like this made up rule to give a win to the home team that paided for a win. Because it's a catch all day.

Should it be in the game? Yes.... Does "its in the game" even matters anymore? Which brings me to even if the play was in the game.... Would the correct challenge be in the list of challenges available to pick from??...

Getting 2 feet down while falling forward does not constitute making a standing catch and being a ball carrier, the football move does not come into play her because Dez was going to the ground immediately. By going to the ground he has to maintain posession throughout. There is no interpretation here. If Dez would have came down on his feet and actually made a move towared the endzone, you would be correct. But just because he is athletic enough to change his direction while coming down still doesn't change that he was always going to the ground the entire way, nothing was a judgement call. The ball hit the ground and popped out.

I echo most everyone else here and say "No". These things always feel a bit forced to me. As a off-line player, I have hated the Challenge System in every football game I have played....and that includes NCAA and 2K5. 90% of the time it is an obvious call with zero suspense, and amounts to a frustrating button mashing waste of time. And then you have those cases where the replay doesn't even get an obvious call correct....which I believe are glitches caused by the replay system itself. So I could see all sorts of issues and side effects if they tried to implement the Calvin Johnson rule.

Huge difference. The Bengal remained standing and made a move to the endzone. Dez altered his body on the way down but never came down standing.

YES - This should implement this rule in the game as long as it is a real rule in the NFL.

We play sport video games to simulate the real game.

EA can not get penalties right, you expect them to implement this rule correctly #nochance

absolutley not. It's a dumb rule that shouldn't be in the NFL at all. Much less Madden. Lets try and get holding, false starts, offsides, and pass interference right first. lol
