Madden 21 OT rules

[MizzouRah]

Tied at the end of the game, CPU team wins the toss. They drive down and kick a FG. I get the ball and start driving down the field, when the quarter time expires the game is over?

I'm guessing it's a bug?

Same as nfl overtime rules. You had a chance to score but you didn't

In the NFL you only get one OT period to win the game unless it is tied at the end during the playoffs.

Except I didn't have a chance to score as I was driving when the time ran out in OT. I had a first and 10 on their 15 yard line as time expired.

So for the regular season this was correct but for postseason it would have continued for the duration of the possession?

Yes if it’s the playoffs the possession should have continued.

No if the other team had already kicked the FG and were up when time expired then he would still lose in the regular season or playoffs regardless of if he was driving or not.

I thought the same until I went and double checked the actual rules after he mentioned post season.

Quote:

OVERTIME RULES FOR NFL POSTSEASON GAMES Unlike preseason and regular season games, postseason games cannot end in a tie, so the overtime rules change slightly for the playoffs. If the score is still tied at the end of an overtime period — or if the second team’s initial possession has not ended — the teams will play another overtime period. Play will continue regardless of how many overtime periods are needed for a winner to be determined.
