Overtime rules!?!?!?!?!

Re: Overtime rules!?!?!?!?!

I received the ball first in Overtime, fumbled the kick-off and the other team proceeded to kick a field goal

That's the correct rule. You had your possession but fumbled.

I know it's correct. It just sucked, it was in the Super Bowl too :/

You win heart break loss of the year.

Though, not sure it's really something you want to win.

From NFL.com

"Owners voted Wednesday at the NFL Annual Meeting in Palm Beach, Fla., to adopt the postseason overtime modified sudden death format in the regular season as well. Teams now will have the opportunity to possess the ball at least once in the extra period unless the team that receives the overtime kickoff scores a touchdown on its first possession"

This is correct, and I just had a game won by the CPU on the first drive during the regular season by FG. Madden screwed this one up. Or couldn't make the change in time and failed to fix the announcing or something.

I've had three OT games and the rules have been implemented. First one I won by scoring a TD after they got a FG. Second, I punted, and it then proceeded as sudden death. Third, was same as first except I took first possession.

Are all you guys saying its broken sure you understand the new rules?

Similar thing happened to me, only I was the one that won via a field goal on the first OT possession. Seems the rules are working fine for some and not others.

Try playing a ranked game, I bet the overtime rules will be implemented then.

Re: Overtime rules!?!?!?!?!

i played a game vs the cpu that went into overtime. i won the coin toss and chose to recieve. i drove the ball down the field, running clock so there were about 30 seconds left in the game, then kicked a field goal. i then kicked off to the cpu, and they had roughly 20 seconds left to go 80 yards. everything is good until this point, as per the new ot rules.

then they proceeded to run a draw play, and i was like, "wtf are they doing?"

the clock expired, i was up by 3 points, AND THE GAME WENT INTO OT2. we switched sides of the field and the cpu retained posession. they threw a pick on the next play, so i wasn't too pissed, but damn, madden needs to fix this sh!t.

Re: Overtime rules!?!?!?!?!

Dex, even if you take out the pick; Madden implemented the new OT rules correctly, in your game.

Are you sure? I would think the clock expiring would end the game rather than grant the other team an extra overtime period to finish their possession, but it doesn't look like there's anything about that on the NFL.com link with the explanation of the rule.

I just played my first regular season game in CCM. Simms explained the new rules, which was a good reminder. I got the ball first, kicked a field goal, and the game ended.

Can't believe it.

Very good point, but in real LIfe would be impossible to kick a field goal and run the clock down the entire 15 mins of overtime and give the other team 20 seconds left, would never happen its not possible at all.

So what the heck are these rules in the game or not... this thread has solved nothing as people are saying both occurs?

I have no idea, maybe it varies? If it matters, I was playing my CCM offline. I actually thought about going for it but reluctantly kicked the field goal and figured I could keep them out of the endzone. I was shocked when the game just ended.

Re: Overtime rules!?!?!?!?!

Guys I just want to try and help clarify this.

My first OT game was against the CPU in CCM and I won on a field goal on the first drive which disappointed me.

The second OT game I played was against a friend in play now. He kicked a field goal on the first drive, I got the ball and was stopped and lost.

My third game was online in a ranked match. I got the ball, kicked a field goal and my opponent got the ball after me. We tied and kept playing into a second OT.

My point here is the game changes to sudden death for some reason when you play the CPU in OT, but follows the rules against another person. At least from my experience.
