@bcongero2 

Not all plays are able to be challenged, like if it's under the 2 minute warning and a turnover on downs. If there's a specific play that didn't allow you to challenge can you record the clip and post it here so we can review it? 

Instant replays are locked for online play. Replays can be seen at the end of the game under your highlights/game summary.

@EA_Blueberry No...l don't need it after the game. It use to be you can challenge a play on line against your opponent during a game. The feature is there but it's locked just like instant replay. I feel like I'm getting half of what l posted for and ripped off. I have every single man game since day one as a collection but if there's no way of doing this just like a real NFL game is called and offer games had this feature.. This will be my last purchase. I don't need it after the game is over. Why even show the feature and have a lock on it. Not making sense to me

[bcongero2]

THATS THE PROBLEM.. LIKE I SAID ,IT USE TO BE YOU CAN CHALLENGE AND VIEW INTANT REPLY WHILE PLAYING AN OPPONANT. I THOUGHT MAYBE SINCE TIMES HAVE CHANGED IT WOULD BE AN EXTRA CHARGE OR A WAY TO EARN THE UNLOCK THAT I WOULD GLADLY ACCEPT AND PAY. FOR MY BROTHER AND I AS WELL AS THE FACT IT MADE THE GAME MORE REALISTIC.. WE LOVED IT. NOW.. WELL I HAVE EVERY SINGLE MADDEN GAME FROM DAY ONE AND BEACAUSE OF THIS LOCK THIS WILL BE MY FINAL PURCHASE. VERY VERY DISAPOINTING FOR ME IT FEELS LIKE A TOTAL RIP OFF NOW.

WOW.. HOW EXCITING.....NOT...I EARN A RESPONDER BADGE. BIG DEALLLLLL

@EA_BlueberryI share similar frustration as @bcongero2. I'm a little over 50 games into my Madden online H2H season and I haven't encountered a single instance where a play could be challenged - but many that should have been.

Here's a video I made featuring a game against the Bengals where my opponent was gifted 56 yards of a 66 yard drive in the final 0:19 seconds of the 4th quarter on three plays:

Not only was I unable to challenge these, because they were within the last 2 minutes, but I had a more recent game where I should have had a pass play called back that my opponent couldn't challenge well within the time frame when challenges should be working.  During those times the challenge button says "There is nothing to challenge on this play."

@bcongero2That said, RELAX! Tantrums work better when dealing with moms. There are very few moms here.

The man asked for a video so he could present your issue to people that could do something about it. Blowing up in a forum doesn't help. Threatening to never buy the product again also, does not help (they already have your money AND you still can't challenge on this game). So, since you are not the only person with this as an issue, I posted the videos for you. 

Now give them some time to do their part - and you might see challenges working as expected.  You can either wait to play more Madden until after the team address the challenge system, or play knowing that the challenge system does not work without freaking out.

Thanks for the clip! Completely felt the same way about the Mixon catch but those two AJ Green catches were unfortunate. Some real bad luck there, tough to watch that drive. I'll see what I can do to get this up the chain to get looked at.

Why are we not allowed to challenge calls from bulls xcetera in Madden online play

[ifumbled1970]

How come we cannot challenge on Madden when it comes to online head-to-head
