This has been a bug for well over a year now.

QB Lazer Beams threw a pass to HB Vinz Clortho, who made the catch, but the ball was knocked loose by MLB Jonathan Vilma...20 yards later.

This gets posted every once in a while, I post suggestions - like forcing a maximum 'juggle' time where if the player doesn't pass by then he just drops it, or catches it - whatever. To just hard-coding an override that causes those long juggles to be considered a fumble once they go past a certain time length.

Anything to make this less game breaking.

I mean... did he make a real "football" move there? He was probably bobbling the ball and was sliding around a lot

It is a double edged sword though. We have all been hit by it and have lost the down because of it. Would suck to be a fumble because 9 out of 10 times, the defenders are there and will scoop it up.

Kind of a damned if you do, damn if you don't scenario.

Nah, it's broken and needs to be fixed.

Not much of a suggestion, since there's already two variants of those in the code.

If so, how does the bug still occur? The max time set to too long?

Fuck if I know.

It's not easily reproducible and there's about 6 different sanity checks from previous "fixes" that should stop it from happening but don't. I've more or less given up trying to fix it.

I just started chucking it up to the refs blew the call random part of the game awhile back.

Sucks, sometimes things just aren't what they seem. May be some kind of bug for when the game registers the catch even beginning somehow.

:/

Hard to fix a problem in a state like that.
