Just wondering what is the craziest game you have played so far? For me I just was doing an exhibition game to practice against the cpu for an online dynasty because I had to play Alabama and I was Mississippi State. Turned out to be the craziest game I have played so far haha. It went down to the wire obviously but if it wasn't for my special teams kick returner I would have been dead haha. This was on All-American btw (I'm not very good =P). The game involved me returning 2 kick returns for a touchdown (one with exactly 18 seconds left in the game which put me in the lead). I remember sacking the qb for a safety. I ended up pulling off a hail mary (which has never worked for me before EVER) at the end of the first half. I ended up winning 35-31 and I was on the edge of my seat most of the time yelling hahaha. I dont really know what a big score is for the espn instant classic thing but i got 2,200 something idk if thats good or not. So what was your craziest game or what did it involve?

Re: Craziest game you've ever played (against a person or CPU)
I usually get 1,000 or less even for pretty tight games so 2,200 is a high score for a classic. I'm not sure what determines the score, be it number of lead changes, coming from behind etc. I know overtime seems to bump it up. Anyway I've had a few thrilling games so far this year as Idaho. Beat Hawai'i 31-28 when they fumbled on their last drive, and lost to BYU 16-14 when I threw a pick at their 40 yard line while trying to drive for a winning field goal with under 2 minutes left

Re: Craziest game you've ever played (against a person or CPU)
Just played the madden demo and had something just like that happen to me with your BYU game haha I could have tied up in overtime 13-13 with a field goal but I tried to throw it for the win and didn't realize Charles Woodson was standing right in front of me =(. He just jumped up and grabbed it haha oh well I love not being able to win everytime it keeps things real and funI usually get 1,000 or less even for pretty tight games so 2,200 is a high score for a classic.

BYU (me) vs. UTAH (cpu)
A five-overtime shootout. We traded TD's until Utah failed their 2-point conversion then I scored and converted mine. Final score 67-65. It was one for the ages. I can't remember what my ESPN Classic score was.Comment

Re: Craziest game you've ever played (against a person or CPU)
I had a wild 6 OT-game against a buddy back on NCAA 08...
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-my-buddy.html
Just yesterday in my dynasty I had a nice comeback...
I am in my second year as the OC at Southern Miss (third year overall) and I scheduled USF as a decent non-conference opponent.
I got up early 10-0, but my option offense stalled and the defense let them tie it up. I took the lead back in the fourth quarter with a TD, but they scored on the ensuing drive.
With the game tied at 17 and just under two minutes left, I thought OK, play it safe... try to score... if you can't, don't worry, you always have overtime.. Well, on the first play I threw to a drag route WAY late and tried to put it low and away from the defender, but he made a nice break, picked it off and took it to the end zone. I thought I was done.
So, now, down 7 with about 1:30 left and three timeouts, I needed to open up my offense and little and put it in the air more than I wanted to with my option QB. I had two nice pass plays that got me inside their 30, but I had to use a timeout after each play and wasted some time on other, less successful plays. So, with about 30 second left and needing to score, I kept throwing with some of my favorite pass plays.
I managed to get to the 9-yard-line with 15 seconds left, but now I was out of timeouts. I had a man open on first down, but the defense closed fast and broke up the pass.
9 seconds left...
I tried a pass over the middle and was actually lucky it wasn't picked by the superman linebacker in the middle.
3 seconds left...
Final play. Last chance. I went five-wide--four to the left, one to the right. I motioned the farther receiver on the left to the opposite slot and ran a fly route. My outside receiver on the right was curling at the end zone. The receiver furthest in the left ran a drag and the two on the outside ran a seam and a post/seam route. The linebacker covering hook-curl stayed low to watch the drag (for some reason) and left the post/seam wide open for the TD as time expired!
In the second OT I kicked a field goal, then my defense picked off a pass. Game over. USM WINS!Originally posted by DaImmaculateONeComment

Re: Craziest game you've ever played (against a person or CPU)
Houston (me as OC) vs NC State for my CUSA title game in like year 3 or 4 of my dynasty. (Can't remember)
I don't remember the score, but both teams were in the 60s. It was ridiculous. I was losing at the end but managed to win the game by hitting two deep passes to my star WR for touchdowns on the first play of back to back drives.
Game was absolutely outrageous and made me hate being an OC and longing to get a HC job.Comment

Re: Craziest game you've ever played (against a person or CPU)
A few years ago I had a dynasty going with my college buddies. I ended up playing in teh National Championship game (I was Ole Miss v Oregon). I was up 17-16and on defense for a 2 minute drill in the 4th. He drove down the field and had a TD called back because of holding on 3rd down with 45 seconds left. He had to settle for a FG which put him up 19-17 with about 30 seconds left. He kicked it deep, I ran the kickoff back for a TD with about 21 seconds left. I ended up kicking out of bounds but held him with prevent defense and I won 24-19.Comment

Re: Craziest game you've ever played (against a person or CPU)
Just played mine last night, for NCAA 2012.
Missouri @ Kansas
Was a ridiculous game, on AA, with good sliders to. I just suck at defense against spread offenses that use no huddle. Score wasn't 2000 though, I think it was 14xx, maybe 17xx. (I know, big difference between those, but I know it was one of them).
The best game score I've ever got was NCAA 2009. In like 2045 (I played it from November 2008 until November 2010) of one of my dynasties I was #2 Boise State playing #8 or #9 Cal (they had only lost one game, I remember that). I went for two on my first TD, made it 8-7, and then we swapped touchdowns the entire game. Went to overtime when I had a PAT blocked, we duked it out their either matching scores or not scoring, until the 4th OT I intercepted a pass on their possession and ran it back for a TD to win. Final score was mid 50's. Final game score was over 2000Comment

Re: Craziest game you've ever played (against a person or CPU)
Wisconsin/Illinois
I got a pick 6 off Nathan Scheelhaase with 1:30 left to take a 10 point lead. Illinois goes right down the field and scores a TD. Then gets the onside kick, goes down again and scores again. So I was down 4. Got the kickoff out to the 34, where I was tackled with 2 seconds left. Hail mary, trips to the left, Abrederris by himself to the right. Drop back with Wilson, Abrederris gets a step, hit him in stride for the game winning touchdown with no time left to win and keep my National Championship hopes alive.Member: OS Uni Snob Association | Twitter: @MyNameIsJesseG | #WT4M | #WatchTheWorldBurn

alright, as much as i can remember, but me and my buddy on ncaa 11.
Arkansas St. (me) vs. Army (him)
the game was tied at 13 going into OT.
we both were trading interceptions in regulation.
first overtime he decides to go defense first and i easily score to make it 20-13, he scores on a 4th down pass, makes it 20-20
second overtime he gets the ball first and scores with his FB on a triple option and my RB gets a pitch on the outside to tie it up at 27 a piece.
third over time i score from the 5 on a 4th down to make it 33-27 but my wr drops a pass on the 2-point conversion. he gets the ball to the 11 and i stuff him on a third and short so he's forced to go for it. he throws the ball and my defender tips it right into his recievers hands. but my safety comes out of nowhere and lays his widereciever OUT! the ball flies into the air and my corner comes and picks it off to seal the game.
probably not the craziest. but the most memorable.Comment

Re: Craziest game you've ever played (against a person or CPU)
My created team vs Cal in the first game of my dynasty. I run an option offense with this team and on the opening drive for 3rd and 2 I pitched the ball right to a linebacker and he ran it back for a TD. Cal ends up going up 14-0 after I lose the ball again. I score off a kick return TD and the first quarter end shortly after. We trade blows and at halftime its 28-17. Cal gets the ball and throws an interception which I score off of later. Cal gets it back and another pick by the same guy and he runs it back. 31-28 end of the 3rd. Cal scores to start the 4th. I score back and Cal scores again. With less than 2 minutes I drive my team down the field using an option offense and score again its 45-42 I have 1 timeout Cal has 2. They have 30 seconds to score. My corner gets a third pick on a deep ball to end the game. Needless to say I was excited.
I say it every year, no matter how many people laugh at me, "The Spurs/Texans/Astros will win the championship this year!"Comment
