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.

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.

I lost a game about a week ago, ranked, where the other guy got ball first in overtime, kicked a field goal on that first possession and won. It is broken (or was then anyway).

JP: "@JDewiel Are you guys aware of the OT glitch where it doesn't end the game and keeps going? My friend just kicked a gw field goal in 4th OT!"

JDewiel: "@jpdavis1982 can you provide more info on this? That should just be for the first possession. Thanks man."

JP: "There were 5 seconds left in OT, he kicked a fg to win it with 1 second left. Then with 1 second left he squibbed it and tackled kr"

J Dewiel: "@jpdavis1982 If it's the first OT, that's right. The team still gets a possession because our game quarters are shorter."

JP: "@JDewiel then the game kept going from the 2nd OT until he kicked a fg to win it in the fourth OT"

JDewiel: "@jpdavis1982 yea, that's an issue/ I'll look into it."

JP: "So what you're saying is what happened at end of first OT was right but them going into 4 OT's is the problem right?"

JDewiel: "yea, if the guy would take the entire 1st Q to score a FG, you still get a possession. I'll pass this along to the team."
