Next Gen Glitches

[Fluff E Bunny]

The HB pass and the any formation direct are still there on ps2.

Unbelievable. They have had what, three years to fix this stuff?

As far as I can tell, there is no HB passes on 360. And I have not seen a reverse from the usual formations.

[cmq]

I found an interesting glitch on the 360.

When on offense, choose a play by "play type". Pick something from the last page, like an option run (page 3/3 in the playbook I was using). Run the play on offense. On your next play, the playcall screen will still be on page 3/3 in "by play type", but if you hit the left button to go to page 2, the bottom-left "format" will just read "Text.... Text" (literally). Kinda funny.

[Mugg]

this one is kinda weird.

When a team is lining up for the field goal, and you see the kicker backing up (just after the play selection menu), go and switch [I'm gonna remove this until I hear from yall whether you want me to spell this out..it could be a cheat glitch]. When you get to where you (or the computer) can control the kick, the kicker is back where he would be for a punt, but still in the field goal stance. The ball was snapped, and he ran through his animation, but the ball was lying on the ground near the kicker (and not the QB, who is still in his normal position).

I had this happen twice so far, once when I was kicking, and once when the CPU was kicking. I'd recommend someone trying this out online, if possible (i dont play online, so i dont even know if you can switch your 1st/2nd string online), or this could be a problem.

[edit]

360 version

Also, i just tried it again, and it didnt happen. Dunno if I did it wrong or what, but after seeing it the 2nd time, I thought people ought to be on the look out.

[2nd edit]

Happened a third time. I think this time, my kicker was taking his two steps to the left during his lineup, when I made the change. I'm just gonna go ahead and post the change I made, if a mod thinks it needs to be removed, go for it.

I just mass sub out the first string O/D for 2nd string, when the kicker is lining up for his kick. Seems to be repeatable, so maybe someone else can check this. Although, my game has been having odd freezing issues, just for a second or so, so maybe my 360 is screwing up.

[rockinthabeav]

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but I was playing a game on the 360 version and was up by 1 late in the game and the other team had the ball and was driving. After the offense had gotten a first down, I naturally waited to call my defensive play until the offense had chosen, so as to run as much time off the clock. Interestingly enough, the GAME CLOCK didn't start up again until the replay (just the one in the background, not an official review) had finished and the PLAY CLOCK had run down to 5 seconds. So essentially that was 20 free seconds to the offense [evil]

[JoeyJojoShabadoo]

360, i apparently can't get the 350 Yd passing game achievement, I've done it twice and have not received it

[husker_blitz]

Post all next gen glitches here.

It seems the computer always waits until under 10 seconds left on the play clock to snap the ball, even when they're doing a hurry-up.

[CoasterNole]

The achievements do seem to work only when they want to. I haven't been able to get the two interceptions one, rush for 200 yards, 2 sacks, 4 sacks, and probably a couple more that I am forgetting, even though I have met the requirements.

i have the same problem. i shut the computer out & held them under 100 total yards, yet nothing. i did manage to get some of the above though.

one, it looks like you need to play at least 5 minute quarters, and 2) make sure you get more than required (ei: 200 rushing yards, make sure to get 250. 2 sacks, get 3 sacks...though i have no idea how i'm going to hold the computer to negative points[rock] )

[HAWGS]

I had one were in a single game, whenever it came time to kick, the kick meter would not show up, and id have to either audible out, call time out or take a delay of game penalty. Didnt matter, kickoff, punt, field goal, the meter wouldnt show for any of them. Soon after I got a disc read error, so I dont know if it was related to that or what.

Also, it takes the refs FOREVER to reset the ball.

Yeah, make sure you're playing on Varsity with 5 minute quarters. And some achievements you get at the end of a game (like 250 Total Rushing Yards).

[shakeyjake448]

Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but I just played a game against seandigs online and 4 or 5 times my QB would miss the hand off and just start jogging backwards. The only way I could make him stop was to make him slide and I lost about 15-20 yards everytime. I can't control him at all and it took me out of field goal position 2 times.

Then there was another one were I was doing the option pass and when i went to bring up the passing icons my QB just froze and I couldn't move him at all.

Hopefully I'm just doing something wrong because that would be a pretty bad glitch.

[seandigs]

I can confirm that. I've seen it happen in past games but it was really rare. It happen atleast 3 times in one game tonight :\

What formation was that out of, flex bone?

[shakeyjake448]

I'm not sure cause I was calling plays by their type. My best guess right now is that its not a glitch and I just pressed a button before the handoff that screwed up the play. I'll try to mess around with it tommorow and see if I can figure it out.

[seandigs]

It happened on what appeared to be the same place twice (might have just been same formation). I dunno all those newfangled wishbones and flexbones by site. It was one of the two I believe.

I think flexbone but I may be wrong, it was like this

----------QB----------
----WB--------WB----
----------FB----------

It was a dive or slam play to the FB going to the right side both times.

[eridani013]

I found out last night that the clock doesn't stop after a delay of game penalty. I was kneeling the ball down to run the clock out at the end of the game and got a delay penalty on one of the plays. Well instead of stopping the clock after the penalty, it started again so I ran down 50+ seconds on one kneel down. I could've effectively run down the entire clock by just letting the play clock run down over and over.

'Newfangled' lol. I believe rhombic has already posted about issues with some of the bone options. So, yeah, buggy.

[psprinkle]

I just kicked a field goal, it bounced off the goal post and was counted as three points, despite it clearly being a miss.[rock]

[shakeyjake448]

I intercepted the ball in my endzone and then my CB fumbled it and it went out in the back of the endzone. The next play I had the ball at my 1 yard line.

[rhombic21]

I punted the ball into the endzone. For whatever reason I decided to take my gunner and catch it in the endzone (downing it for a touchback). When I did so, the announcers said "And they get the safety!", but then it was a touchback (my opponent started his drive from the 20 yard line).

I know that there's an issue with the "inside counter" plays not working out of the wishbone. But that formation looks like this:

---------------QB----------------
---------------FB----------------
-----------WB-----WB-----------

that happened to me earlier. i was virginia tech and playing the cpu and not online, so it's not something someone can do to you. it was a HB counter trap out of the ace flip trips formation. it looked like he handed the ball off and then my QB just kept jogging backwards with the ball, all the way into the endzone, where he was stripped for a TD (figures not a safety).

i could do nothing but watch FSU's lineman kill him in my endzone.

[Nothingface]

That works eh? I'm gonna try varsity because I keep getting screwed out of Achievments on AA.

[Mugg]

going back to my automatic field goal fumble glitch, if you move the last guy on the outside further out about 4-5 yards, you can recover the ball everytime and return it for a TD/2 pt conversion. Helped me swing the momentum when Miss. State actually gave me a run for my money. [glare]

[mobettaut]

I noticed on a couple FG blocks (when I watched the replay) that my guy would go through one of the defenders when jumping up for the block. I think this collision detection problem is leading to more blocked FGs as well. "Going through" players has been on all the previous years as well so I'm not sure if and when this will get fixed.

I haven't been able to replicate this problem, but it has happened about three times. Basically when I go to make a big hit on a player the game will pause (mid-play) and go to the menu screen as if you had pressed start. I noticed it happened when I was holding down a couple buttons and using the hit stick. At first I thought I had just hit the start button accidentally but now thats its been 3 times I'm pretty sure its some kind of glitch.

Yesterday I had the game go into a loop of some sort. After a play it usually shows a cut-scene. Well it went into the cut-scene and never came out. It just kept showing cut-scenes of the field, stadium, stands, over and over. I couldn't pause it or do anything in-game. I could still go to the xbox dashboard though.

EDIT: I also notice sometimes when you coverage audible for press coverage your DB will get "stuck." So you have to reset the changes, then call press coverage again to get the DB to step up.

[carolinalax23]

The South Carolina helmet that comes up to collide during cut sequences has a white facemask.

Also, NC State has black cleats in the game. I don't know if they are planning to wear those this year, but they've worn white in the past.

[GatorTD8to10]

I intercepted the ball in my endzone and then my CB fumbled it and it went out in the back of the endzone. The next play I had the ball at my 1 yard line.
LMAO Backyard football. We'll take it from the 1!

[ugalltheway 74]

I was playing South Carolina the other day and they lined up in a formation with 6 wide recievers a RB and only 3 linemen it looked like this.
The play that they ran was just a basic wheel or a streak or something like that and the two Offensive Tackles turned in like they were trying to block eventhough they were uneffective. They ran this formation against my 4-3 two times and I sacked them 2 times. I anticipated a screen or something like that with the tackles lined up in a STANDING WR stance. After this game i checked out SC's playbook and there was no formation like this in their playbook.


--------------------------------WR----OT-------------OG-C-OG---------------OT----WR-----------------------------------------------
------------------------------------WR--------------------QB---------------------WR---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------RB------------------------------------------------------------------------

[carolinalax23]

I guess this would be considered a glitch. There are still white recruits with traditionally "black" names. For instance, I saw a white DE whose name was Jamaal. I haven't seen in white recruits with cornrows yet though.

That formation is called the ninja. It was a Mike Leech creation in 99 when he was the OU offensive coordinator. Ran against an incredibly talented A&M team, and we kicked their ass up and down the field, kept getting called for illegal formation though. Coaches had to continually explain what was going on to the refs.

[Mugg]

tha'ts actually the emory and henry. It's a part of South Carolina's playbook, according to Prima Guide I'm looking at.

If this was in the 360, the only thing I can think of is that they tried to include it, but couldn't get it working, so they removed it from the player's playbook, but not the CPU's playbook.

[reerun865]

2 nights ago i was playing offline when i executed a run play to my hb. i thought i was going down when i ran into a ball of about 4 opposing lineman as well as 2 or 3 of my linemen and then miraculously i ran past them for a touchdown. My wife was watching and she said, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we watched the replay to our amazment that the hb ran into the back of our lineman and then the hb used his teleportation powers to run thru approx. 6 guys. He actually ran thru all the players. [rock]

[JoeyJojoShabadoo]

all time school records appear to overflow and wrap around at 1000!! (perhaps 1023 since that's 10 bits) WTF!?

so in year 20 ND now has an all time winning pct of .131

[carolinalax23]

I found a great new glitch tonight.

I was playing I-AA Southeast in my dynasty and the players on their sideline were wearing Florida Gators uniforms. I'll post a photo later.

I thought there were no 1AA teams on 360???

just the default, easy to beat 1aa southeast,northwest, west type 1aa teams.

[JoeyJojoShabadoo]

i've confirmed that the max number of wins stored per team is 1023 (10-bit) - gee with a 60 year dynasty and several schools starting with 700+ wins maybe they need a bigger number?

[HogsRule22]

the BCS bowls are screwed up. there were 2 Sugar bowls, i was playing in the Sugar Bowl because i had won the SEC and then the national championship was also being played in the Sugar Bowl [rock]

[carolinalax23]

I thought the NCAA added a 5th BCS bowl game this year? That would make your scenario accurate.

[Heisman06]

When you are trying to do hurry up..the clock starts right away even when you get a first down. But when the computer gets a first down and does hurry up, the clock don't start until the ball is set.. Thought this was bullshit.

[shakeyjake448]

The clock doesn't stop for "delay of game" penalties.

[bighuskermav]

That's hilarious, especially considering the standard size of an integer has always been 32 bits. Probably had some idiot constultant come in and suggest that, thinking that saving 22 bits would somehow make a difference.

I've noticed when I'm on offense and I'm trying to run the clock down, the play clock will run for 5 or 10 seconds before the game clock is started (if i'm sitting at the play screen trying to run the clock down). Something's up with their start the clock decision making.

[Fluff E Bunny]

Or worse, some academic type who thought he'd be clever by storing wins in a range of low order bits and losses in a range of high order bits so he could use one variable for keeping track of win-loss records.

[carolinalax23]

I read on another site that some recruited offensive linemen will end up having kicker facemasks.

[goblackknights]

I played against Temple away. When the game started, it was labeled as a Rivalry game. I suspect that it is a glitch associated with the stadium since the Army-Navy game is played at Lincoln Financial Field which is also where Temple plays its home games.
I don't know if I got credit for beating a rival.
Anyone else play a game against a non-rival whose home stadium is the neutral site of a rivalry game? I would suspect that if Navy were to play Temple away it would also show up as a rivalry game.
