Has anyone been able to get to triple overtime?

In the last 1.5 years I’ve had 3 double OT games, but it’s not possible for me to play triple OT. This is because in double OT my playbook gets bugged. For the PAT, I can only kick an XP (you’re not allowed to kick XP and must go for 2) as every other play in my pb is bugged (they’re all either Hail Mary or spike the ball I think).

If the cpu scores a TD, they always go for 2 (as they should) so I either win by 1 or they win by 1 and there’s no option for a tie.

Has anyone been able (and ideally forced) to go for 2 in double OT?

I had a 7 OT game once but that's the only time and I was able to finish it.

Do you use a default or custom pb? My guess is that my CPB is the issue as I’ve always had the problem of it getting bugged in double OT (and never any other time) and only letting me call hail marys and ball spikes.

Not a custom PB but I'll see if I can get into double OT with one to test

I guess it would be possible for you to get to a third OT if in the second OT yielded two field goals, or even no scores?

Re: Has anyone been able to get to triple overtime?

I had a 5 OT game in my Fresno State Dynasty against Georgia Southern. I use a custom Playbook.

one thing I noticed, as you wrote as well. I don't think you are supposed to be able to go for XP in 2nd OT, but you can in the game. I've lost and won games before I realized the real life rule change.
