I get this all the time in my offline franchise. I've actually called fair catch myself and been DRILLED by the gunner. McCluster fumbled and then recovered his own fumble. No call for personal foul. No call for kick catch interference. Just moved on as if the fair catch had never been called.
I also see, almost every time I punt, the opposing returner calls fair catch and then runs forward (as if he was standing inside his own 10 yard line and hoping for a touchback) at the last second. But this happens at like the 40... Adding about 15 yards of bounce to my punt. Of course, my computer controlled gunners don't let the ball bounce as far as it can. They just grab it on the first bounce in mid air, downing the ball WAY too early. Still, it's a really fun game and I'm glad I own it. Just little things. I wish I was the one in charge of making this game. It needs a whole new philosophy.
