Someone help me out here, I can't help but feel I was jipped out of winning a game today.
I don't have internet access right now, so for a challenge, I run the normal Titans roster in a franchise on "super all madden", which is all madden with the difficulty sliders also pushed all the way up. This makes the game legitimately hard even against the CPU, and every win counts. Last season in my franchise I finished 10-6, the CPU beat me six times!
So I was playing madden 25 on the PS4, week 2 of the 2013 regular season, Titans @ Houston. I dominated with the west coast passing game on offense and was moving the ball easily as long as I kept an eye on JJ Watt. Meanwhile, I could not stop Arian Foster on the other side. He finished the game with 4 TDs and ove 300 total yards. So it was a shoot-out, which was Texans 45 Titans 37 with a minute left and Houston had the ball. They grinded out the clock, but I got them to 3rd and 3 with no more time-outs. They ran more time off and sent Foster right up the middle, and somehow Bernard Pollard made the dive tackle to stop them and 4th and inches for the luck play. But now the Texans woud punt and I had no timeouts and 30 seconds to go the length of the field... until Mariani ran the punt back for a TD to tie the game and send it to overtime.
So we get to overtime, and since the game is in Houston, I get to pick. I select "heads" and lose the toss (probably rigged on this difficulty). The Texans of course choose to receive and they are driving on me with Foster once again. I figure the game is over when Foster burns me for a 50 yarder and gets all the way to the 5. With 1st and goal, Houston is playing for the TD, and I hold them to 3rd and goal at the 5. I run commit of course, and Schaub throws to a wide open Andre Johnson on play action, but my run blitz hits him as he throws to force an incompletion. I am through the roof since I will get the ball back and just need to score to win.
But then, when the Texans take the chip shot field goal, something's wrong. The commentary changes and the game ends. I lost 48-45. WTF Madden?!!?!?! Do you know the rules? It was the first possesion and they kicked a field goal, I should have gotten the ball again. This isn't like madden 09 or something it's a full year after the decision was implemented for regular season play. But for some reason it just didn't happen. The first possession FG was decided to be sudden death, don't ask me why. I'm quite pissed, and because of the autosave on the PS4, this will stand as a loss for me.
