Madden 19 Features Wishlist: 9 Changes We Want

Realistic Madden 19 Challenge Play Options

Every year EA talks about a realistic game, and while the frequency of penalties are more realistic, the ability to challenge easily identifiable crap calls are not. 

In the NFL the coach can challenge the following items, but in Madden 18, you can only challenge a few situations and never the ones you need to challenge. 

• Scoring plays
• Pass complete/incomplete/intercepted
• Runner/receiver out of bounds
• Recovery of a loose ball in or out of bounds
• Touching of a forward pass, either by an ineligible receiver or a defensive player
• Quarterback pass or fumble
• Illegal forward pass
• Forward or backward pass
• Runner ruled not down by contact
• Forward progress in regard to a first down
• Touching of a kick
• Other plays involving placement of the football
• Whether a legal number of players is on the field at the time of the snap

I'd love to see EA add in more challenge options, especially with many plays clearly in the favor of one team or another visually. Even if the call didn't go your way, it would make more sense to allow the challenge and add to the realism of the game.
