Thank you madden for making me buy a new controller...

[Roncatto]

Ive have just launched my PS3 controller across the room because of what has just happened. I dont't know whether to laugh or cry.......

Setting: Browns Stadium.

Scoreline: Falcons 31(me) - Browns 21(CPU)

Time left: 1.36 in 4th quarter.

Position: 20 yrd line in Browns territory.

Play 1 - Delhomme to Harrison - 13 yrds
Play 2 - Delhomme to cribs - 8 yrds OOB - CLock stopped
Play 3 - Delhomme to cribs - Defense stands there like there glued to the grass and cribs runs it all the way for TD.

1.22 left on clock.

Kick off - Westbrook returns to 40yrd line.

Play 1 - Turner 5yrds - Time out taken by browns
Play 2 - Turner 3 yrds - No time outs left - clock winds down to 36 secs.
Play 3 - Turner 1 yrd - Oh what a suprise - a falcon injury stops the clock.
Play 4 punt away - Touch back.

Play 1 - Unreal Delhomme pass deep for 40 yrds - out of bounds.
Play 2 - Delhomme avoids the 2 PERSON sack and fires to stuckey for 20 yrds.
Play 3 - Spike ball

Time left 0.08

Play 4 - 49yrd field goal against a 9mph wind to tie the game - oh please **** off.

Kick off - Westbrook catches with 3 seconds left - runs the ball back - FUMBLE!!! - Browns run it back with time expired.

Final score Falcons 31 - 38 Browns.

Controller launched into book shelf. FML!

Before someone posts these things happen in the Nfl well maybe they do but the amount of times in Madden the Cpu comes back or lets me come back with freak plays makes me sure it's coded in.

I must think differently when I play my games because I find that awesome. You should have protected the ball on that kickoff man. I would have loved losing like that...it makes me love the game even more.

Sometimes I can feel like you do.
But sometimes it just feels predetermined.
If the code gives the team that is loosing an "effort-boost" (?) i think it is OK.

But I have been in the same situation as Roncatto only to find my CB in perfect position to play the ball but the ball goes through his hands/arms and the opposition scores.

Another time I make the perfect tackle only to find that am sliding my upper body through the running back and the RB does not even react!
TD.
