Wow...EA Can you program a team NOT to lose?

[pdiehm]

up 38-14 on Alabama with 4:28 left in the game. I LOSE 45-38. My QB fumbled 3 straight times which were returned for TD's (27, 38, 31 yards). I'm up 38-35 with 2:58 left in the game...I have a 3rd and 14 (because you know, Alabama jumps every snap, blitzes every play but never ever ever jumps off side). I call slot drive, and audible to verticals because they are playing a 4-4 defense and showing blitz. my WR is WIDE WIDE OPEN, all I gotta do is loft it up, and he'll walk into the endzone. I lob it, #57 jumps up, OVER the guard, one hand intercepts it, breaks not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4....4....4....tackles and runs back for a TD. This ball had such a high arc on it, it was going for a guy 50 yards downfield.

Complete and utter bullcrap. My controller about went through the TV

Bama wins 45-38, because on the next possession (I had about 2 minutes left) my QB somehow fumbles trying to avoid a sack and bama recovers (shocking) and kicks a FG with no time left.

So they got 31 points in the final 4:28 without running but 3 offensive plays, including 4 defensive touchdowns.

here's the funny part...bama had 218 yards of offense in the game. they had more interception yards than offensive yards.

Your up 38-14 with 4:28 left and your QB fumbled three times? Could that be because you were trying to throw the ball when you should have been killing the clock?

I think its hilarious when people try to run up the score and lose because it.

I gotta ask, why was your QB handling the ball to have those 3 fumbles when you were leading? Not that it isn't silly to have that many turnovers in such a short period. I just wonder why your QB had the ball. Were you trying to pass? Were you trying to run with the QB?

Sounds realistic to me. That's the heart of a champion.

Hmm thats interesting. What level are you playing on? I play on
Heisman with default sliders. No disrespect to you but that is
a big comeback by the AI. I think the biggest come from behind
loss for me was 21-17. I was up against Miami 17-7 late in the
4th and lost, by the way I was playing as FSU. The loss was
due to some picks that went for TDs by Miami. And the AI just
played great football.

Conservative clock. Run the ball. Win the game.

Kinda like real life.

[Solidice]

I see the exact opposite more, actually I have yet to have the CPU comeback to win on me. usually I lose because the CPU plays better than me and can hang on to the lead.

I've had games where the CPU has a lead and just blows it away with turnovers giving me an easy win though.

[herruberraschen]

This is a controversial topic but I do believe in some cases the cpu will win no matter what. Especially in offline dynasty. On defense they fly through the blockers so it is a sack and fumble or three negative run plays. On offense they throw jump balls and when you go for a swat and you miss but you never miss a swat any other time and if you magically stop them short of a first down it will go to a facemask animation regardless if you press the hit stick or go for the strip.
