Why does it give you an automatic penalty when you run certain RPOs? It’s always an illegal man downfield. Shits wack af.

I get random illegal man downfield occasionally regardless of playcall (i literally never run rpos btw)

Same with random offsides by a cpu defender just lining up offsides for no reason. The game is a mess. 🤷‍♂️

No doubt. I dont run them all that much but a couple of them are OP and when I see the opportunity for a huge play I run it but 99 percent of the time it gives me a flag. then you can run the same play 10+ times in a row and it won’t give a penalty. lol weird

If you hold the ball longer before throwing the rpo, your linemen could already be blocking downfield.

the more common one is random offsides, which is annoying

Because it's an RPO, not a play-action. After the snap, you have to read the defense and decide to throw the pass or run the ball. You're holding the ball too long.

There's literally a play desined with one option to run it and them throw it before crossing the line of scrimmage. There has to be a way to keep the line men from running passed the whole damn p lay
