Sorry, I haven't really posted before. I was just patiently waiting for the game, but I thought I would post a quick problem I have found.

With the facemask penalty you are given two choices either, accept the penalty which would give you fifteen yards I believe.
or decline the penalty which makes it like the play didn't happen and you lose a down.

example,

it was second and ten at the 20 and I completed a pass to a wr for seven yards.
there was a facemask.
I could accept the penalty which would put me to the 35 for some reason or decline the penalty and it would be 3 and 10 at the 20.

A facemask penalty gets added to whatever positive yardage you get, and if I declined the penalty then it should have just been 3 and 3.

This happened twice in almost five minutes of playing the game.
I am not exactly sure of the yards for accepting the penalty. next time it happens I will get a screen shot and add it to this thread.

btw I am like what I see so far except for some of the minor problems I am seeing, which I know will get fixed in future releases.

We know of a couple penalty issues, including this one, and they will get fixed.

thats what I figured, this one seemed fairly obvious, I just thought I would give you a heads up is all.

The readme has a "known issues" list.
