Overtime rules!?!?!?!?!

[Find_the_Door]

Anyone... just lost a game because I remember reading that kicking a field goal DOES NOT win it. Is this true and if it is it SHOULD be stickied as that information is absolutely critical. Wish EA would let you know as you start overtime... -_-

You know that's how it is in real life right????????

I thought Phil Simms does talk about the new rules when you go to overtime.
Somebody else made a post about this earlier.

That would be the new NFL overtime rules. As a coach, your owner should be VERY disappointed in you for not keeping up with the league changes.

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

Let's clarify here:

Kicking a field goal wins the game on any other drive except the first one after the coin toss.

The team that gets the ball first in overtime can only win by scoring a touchdown, if they kick a field goal, the other team gets a possession. If the first team fails to score the second team can win with a field goal or either team on any subsequent drive.

No, I wasn't clear enough sorry. Someone posted in the demo impressions thread that it wasn't working properly. Has it been fixed in retail?

It would appear so.

Ummm as far as I know that rule only applies in the playoffs...

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

Yeah i heard the FG rule was only for the playoffs, NOT the regular season.

Maybe since there is no such thing as regular season and playoffs online they just made it the playoff rule.

Does this bug occur in regular season of a CC?

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"

McNabb, is that you?

Seriously, good thing you brought it up because I didn't catch when they voted to add it to the regular season too.

Still love you though! #BleedGreen

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

Ive had one overtime game online, it was an unranked game and the new overtime rules were not implemented. In other words, first to score won the game and I lost on a field goal (his first possession I didnt get one). Kinda sucked because I figured Id be getting a shot but nope....... game ended.

Im not sure if its implemented for ranked/ultimate team games or if I just encountered a bug or not. I played this on Season Ticket early release on ps3 btw.

same thing happened to me. phil sims talked about the new rules at the start of OT. explained that the new rules were in effect for that OT.

then i kicked a FG on my very first possession and i won on that FG.

it was an online, unranked game versus a friend.

I had an OT game against Houston in my CCM. They kicked a field goal on their first possession, then I got the ball and threw a pick.

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

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