Onside kick recovery is terrible

played against a cheeser who onside kicked on every time and of course the one time I sent on my receiving team he recovered cuz the ball bounced off my players which really hurt since it was a 1 score shootout game.

I don't think that means onside kick recovery is terrible. It means you played against an a**hole.

I wish the onside had a predetermined trajectory and the more power simply means the higher the bounce. As of now, you can just rocket the ball into a guy and have it sit between his legs while he plays butter fingers with it.

oh yes and the squib kick also has a high chance of recovery too which makes the game even more maddening (pun intended)

Np, don't think you would get the 3+ needed onsides to make it a game anyways.

Another thing I don't like is getting stuck with the hands team out there. I don't think the game lets you know if the opponent has chosen onsides, but if you don't audible quick during an obvious onsides situation, you can just pooch it away from the deep man and get the ball back in great field position. Similar to last year when you could do a normal formation and surprise onside to an empty middle of the field.

I'm not surprised, there are other issues with this game. I experienced an unusual event playing CPU in offline CCM during preseason week 2 using the Dolphins. The CPU (Panthers) had a 4th and 5 with 2:45 left in 4th quarter (MIA 21 - CAR 31) at the 39 yard line he/she tries to attempt a 56 yard FG, I selected regular block FG. As I took my up back defender and sent him back towards the goal line anticipating a short miss; the ball hit my player and the ref waved FG no good. My player at this point had the ball in his possession and then dropped the ball. This is when the shocking event occurs. By rule possession goes to the Dolphins (Me) and I should have the ball spotted where the kick occurred (39 yard line + 7 yards from line of scrimmage = 46 yard line). Well, to my surprise the CPU retained possession and had a reset in downs 1st & 10 from the 46. I lost he game as he ran out the clock pounding the rock on the ground leaving with no time outs. THIS GAME FOR ALL THE HYPE AND MONEY, it's a DAM SHAME!!!

I have to agree. I played an offline game on pro last night where the CPU onside kicked 3 times in a row and got the ball back ALL THREE TIMES! I couldn't believe it
