Just played an online franchise game: Divisional Round of the playoffs (Broncos - me vs. Chargers) and the game goes into OT. Gus Johnson says the bit about the new NFL playoff OT rules... Chargers get the opening kickoff, but I manage to stop them on my 10 yd line. They kick the field goal and the game ends.

I read this on giantbomb a while back that said "The only way to get to the default 2009 (and before) rules is in franchise or online franchise, in the regular season naturally." - but this is the playoffs...

So... what the heck happened? Is there a way to change the outcome or do a do-over for the online franchise?

Also, if the new OT rules aren't going to be used, what's the point of the game telling everybody about it?
