Inconsistent TDs

I like this game, I really do. Its loads of fun, but I absolutely hate when I play a game and I feel screwed over. I was playing with the NFL Mod. I was playing as the Raiders against the Steelers. Its 4th and goal at the Steelers 8 yard line. I call a pass to Crabtree, now he is visibly 95% in the endzone, its not a touchdown. So the Steelers take over. During their drive its 3rd & 2 at the Raiders 11 yard line. They throw a pass up to Antonio Brown, he makes the catch barely even touching the endzone, its a touchdown. Now I understand that I'm not seeing exactly everything, but when I see that I feel screwed out of a Touchdown, and it makes me want to play the game less and less each time it happens.

P.S I'm playing against CPU.

P.S.S It always seems to give me bad spots, and the CPU good spots. Its terrible.

its just the graphics you are not gettin cheated, although I know the feeling :p

the player circle is drawn from the points where he "really is", and that is on the right side of the circle. So it will look like one team (the one driving left-to-right) has it easier, but I assure you no one is getting screwed.

Technically the actual point of the player is the top left corner of the dot, which is why as soon as the dot touches the left end zone they're in and on the right they have to cross it. In the game it tracks the point, not the drawing dot, so the game is right. To make the drawing better we'd have to center the dot around that point, but then it will appear that the players are over the line of scrimmage, etc. May look at that in a future patch or version.

I could make the dots smaller, but then they get harder to track and read the text on them.
