Scenario: I'm down 14-17 with just under a minute remaining in the 3rd quarter. Plan: Eat up as much clock as possible and take the lead with a TD, thus forcing the opponent to abandon the running game due to lack of time. Considering my pass defense was smothering him, good plan. How it worked out: I got all the way down the field, 1st and goal with just over 2 minutes remaining. Oppoment has all 3 timeouts and uses one to stop the clock before 1st down. 1st and goal at the 10: I always use shotgun. ALWAYS. Unless I'm doing a fullback dive for 1 yard. I come out in WEAK I so he reads a run, then I pass to my FB in the flat and have a clear lane to the endzone. I stop at the 2. TIMEOUT #2 by opponent 2nd and goal at the 2: FB Dive, no gain. TIMEOUT #3 by opponent 3rd and goal at the 2: FB Dive, no gain. 2 minute warning 4th and goal at the 2: I opt to go for the TD instead of the tying FG. Stopping my quick pass from Shotgun Spread has been difficult for all opponents, including this one. Result, pass swatted down. Turnover on downs on the 2. BEGIN CRAZY ENDING: Opponent runs the ball for a few first downs to get to the 20. On his third play I strip the ball and he recovers after a pile up. TIMEOUT #2 by me. 2nd down: QB KNEEL TIMEOUT #3 by me 3rd down: QB KNEEL CLOCK STILL RUNNING, but he has to snap the ball with 6 seconds left. He is obviously passing the ball to try to eat the last 6 seconds. I come out in PUNT BLOCK MAN. This gives me 5 DLINEMEN to rush the passer, and my PR to blitz off the edge. 4th down: I time the snap perfectly running full speed at the line of scrimmage with Reggie Bush off the edge. I smash Joe Flacco in less than a second and he throws a lame duck pass right to one of my linemen. I return it for a TD with :01 left on the clock. Im up 21-17 against all odds. I opt for a squib kick, because I've never seen one returned past the 50, let alone for a TD. He runs forward with his returner to get the ball, catches it off the first bounce and returns it for a TD. I lose.
I just kicked a FG in overtime. I made it, thought I won, then had to kick the ball off to the other team and lost because he got a td. WTF!!!! I kicked my FG on 3rd down because I thought it was for the win.
I took the lead 28-21 with :20 left in the 4th. He had :14 after the kickoff. First play Randy Moss catches a corner route and breaks a tackle and takes it all the way. :01 left, i throw a bomb to reggie bush wide open. He gets caught from behind because he slowed down to make the catch. Overtime I drive down to the 11 yard line easy. Set up for a FG and kick on third down. I thought I ****ing won!!! **** the new OT rules! Thats supposed to be for the playoffs. Madden is so ****ing gay!
online. playing against the computer is like arm-wrestling an infant. funny, but not very challenging.
Gish, you prick.... Tell me your latest gamertag so when i get Madden 12, I can **** you up with my spread offense like the old days.
epic games, ive been involved in a lot of them recently. effing **** is heartpumping, nail-biting, mother ****in real. ill upload some highlights from the next one.
I'm sorry but everybody who calls a PUNT BLOCK MAN against any pass play has to lose. seriously c'mon man
considering i scored a defensive TD on a play where all he had to do was lob a pass down field to end the game, i think it was a good call. Reggie Bush is a sackmaster. but youre right. why would you want 5 defensive linemen, the faster player on your team blitzing off the edge, and man up on everyone else? that doesnt sound like it will generate pressure. it's only the best 6 man rush in the game.
Because that is not what any team has done in the history of the nfl. Hence why I don't play this game online.
