What is the one thing coaches harp on more than any other? Turnovers.
You force them and your chances at winning are greatly improved. You give them up and your chances decrease in a big way. Just ask the Green Bay Packers from this past weekend about that.
Apparently you should also be leery of that in the new Madden 17 game, thanks to a major glitch that causes not only a turnover but a guaranteed pick-six for the opposition.
Yes, that is the one and only Blake Bortles dropping back for a pass, throwing a pretty decent one to the Steelers 40-yard line, and then watching the physically impossible happen next.
Not only does the pass bounce off the pads of his receiver, but Bortles and those playing at home watch the ball bounce some 20 yards backwards into the waiting arms of a Steelers linebacker. Naturally, said linebacker goes untouched in to the end zone for a pick-six.
Of course, there’s nothing natural about any of this. After all this is a video game to start with, secondly, it is physically improbable to have the ball bounce (in the air mind you) some 20 yards on the fly and finally, have it just so happen to fall in to the hands of a waiting opposition player who goes untouched to the end zone.
We’re guessing EA Sports is going to find a way to correct that glitch. But, we’re still left with the question of how the heck this egregious error was not uncovered in the first place.
It’s not like this could change a game or cost someone a victory in those all-important Madden 17 leagues or tournaments across the country. Oh wait….
