Since when are football players supposed to be acrobats?

An apparent glitch has turned the new Madden NFL 15 game into a football circus - sending a player flying into the air before he crash lands onto the virtual turf.

Madden NFL 15 was released on Tuesday. The apparent glitch was spotted by a user who posted a Vine of the insane play.

The game boasts "a new arsenal of pass rush moves, an intuitive tackling system, improved coverage logic, and immersive new camera angles," according to a press release.

EA Sports said the new additions make the "defense more exciting and fun than ever."

You can say that again.

EA Sports did not immediately return ABC News' request for comment.
