I am playing Madden 19 and just saw the damndest thing.

I just gave up a long run to Houston on the first play from scrimmage and something did not look right at all.  

They were in a 3 WR 1 TE 1 RB grouping, so I countered with a nickel defense.

Not a 3-3-5...not a quarter or dollar defense.  A base nickel, which is supposed to have  four down linemen.  As soon as we lined up, I sensed something was amiss.

It turns out, my RDT was not on the field!  That down was run with TEN PLAYERS ON THE FIELD!  The RB conveniently ran where the DT was SUPPOSED to be!  

I ran instant replay and counted the players on defense three different times.

How in the blue hell does that happen in a Madden game?!?

Un [BLEEP] real!

Now I'm wondering how many times that has happened before.  Not just on running plays, but overall.

I am pissed! 

Edit:  later in the same game, FB Tommy Bohanon (of all people) appeared in that same DT spot.  Abry Jones is injured, and Bohanon was nowhere to be found in the depth chart at DL.  I still had Bryan, Dareus and Ankou available specifically at DT, to say nothing of those situations where Campbell slides inside.

Isn't there a way to take a snapshot of the still instant replay?
