LOL, okay, that was the most not fair catch i've ever seen

That seems like it's coded that if a player calls for a fair catch, it stops whenever he touches the ball, no matter what. Any more examples?

Since it was a CPU team with a Punter as the return man. Buy the time he got to the ball the defenders where there to cover the play.

definately a bug!!!!

maybe the pigeon from the raiders game has started playing GLB and is too small for us to see

I think this is really what's going on, but there should be something in place to only call fair catch when the ball is in the air.

Isn't the rule if a returner calls for a fair catch then lets the ball go it's down where ever it's touched by either the offense or defense?

the ball is always down when a punt team member touches it. my guess is that the returner called a fair catch but since he didnt catch it, i dont think it should register as 1.

Fix uploaded:
- Disallow fair catch on punt if it has bounced

REOPENED AS PER CATCH22.

Minority Report?

The thread Punts not fielded by returners get downed and labeled as fair catch - DUPLICATE THREAD - OLD BUG #83 - REOPENED has been merged into this thread

In this game it happened twice but there wasn't a lot of punting going on here to take samples from:

For one it seems like the returner should be able to pick this up and keep running, rather than having this automatically downed. But even if that's just part of the game, then it should be downed instead of a fair catch.
