What's Your Craziest Superbowl?

[Actinguy1]

What's the craziest superbowl you've seen so far? This was mine, as a spectator:

For 2012-2013, I had Peyton Manning go to the Cleveland Browns. Despite missing eight weeks after reinjuring himself, he and McCoy managed to take the Browns to their first Superbowl ever. On the other side of the field was the New Orleans Saints, the first team to ever play a Superbowl in their own stadium.

This seemed like an epic match up. Manning versus Brees, two of the greatest players ever. First time in a Superbowl for the Browns, first team ever to play at their home stadium for the Saints. Possibility of Manning ending his left-for-dead career with a big win. The Browns were seriously lacking high-caliber receivers, but the Saints offensive line had been devastated by injuries. This was going to be an epic game.

The final score? 73-6, Saints.

Peyton Manning was so unbelievably awful, that I pulled him at the start of the third quarter...only to have McCoy throw the first interception, so I put Manning back in. Meanwhile, the Browns could not cover a single Saints receiver. I checked Superbowl records on Wikipedia, and the Saints shattered MOST of them.

So? What's the craziest Superbowl you've seen?

Re: What's Your Craziest Superbowl?

All Madden default sliders

Eagles (me) Vs Pats (cpu) final score 152 to 55

Brady throws 5 picks while Welker and Gronk combine for over 500 receiving yards....

I stopped playing the super bowl after that and simply play 10 game seasons and sim the rest.

Re: What's Your Craziest Superbowl?

In my 4th season on All-Pro as the Vikings I went up against the Steelers in the Super Bowl. The game started with my showboat (runs with the ball away from his body) WR doing a superman dive into the endzone over a defender. (I saved the replay and I've watched it 50 times since).

The game went back and fourth but with 57 sec left Big Ben threw a TD to Wallace to take the lead. The crowd was crazy and the camera was shaking while showing Bens arms in the air.

I got the ball back and threw a few bombs to get down around the 20. With 5 sec left I threw a TD to Rudolph and he got crushed in the Endzone but he held on. I was jumping around at 3 AM while my wife and kids were sleeping above me.

I have a "no-reset" rule on playoff games and the Super Bowl so this game was very intense and one of the highlights of Madden 12 for me.

In Year 3 of my Titans franchise, I play Green Bay in the Superbowl. I ended up losing the game in double overtime (22-25). Hands down the greatest game I have played to do date in any week of any franchise.

Re: What's Your Craziest Superbowl?

It was the vikings (me) v pats and I took the lead with a touchdown in the final seconds with favre to berrian in M10. BUT ther was like 0:07 seconds left and the pats won... by like a 90 yard return -_- it was the dirtiest play ever. But probably my most memorable game.

Re: What's Your Craziest Superbowl?

I've only been in 2, but my last one I ended up winning by 6, they stalled on their final drive. Trent Richardson ran out the clock with a couple 10-20 yard runs.

Not that crazy

Re: What's Your Craziest Superbowl?

For me, it was during my Superstar Mode.
I created a FS, got drafted by the Seahawks, and did ok, not great for a rookie, 12 tackles, 5 deflections and 2 FF.
We finished the season 9-7-1 and was the last team in the playoffs, we had the 32 ranked offense, but the 1st ranked D, and we beat the 49ers in the wildcard, by a field goal.
Next game, vs the Eagles, I get a pick to help set up the game winning score with 1 minute left in the game.

Then the super bowl
Hawks vs Texans, who were down to Yates in the game, kinda like this year.
21-10 in the 4th quarter, They are driving down field and Yates throws to Owens for the first, then, boom, hit stick + FF for me, sets up a touchdown, about 2 minutes in the game, its 3rd and 7 at the 43 yard line, they do a PA pass, I read it perfectly, catch in the end zone and take it back for my first pick 6.
24-21 in the final seconds, and I pick the Hail Mary to seal the deal.
Very fun.

Re: What's Your Craziest Superbowl?

Steelers (me) and Giants, I was playing 4 minute quarters. After starting the quarter with the score 3-0 Giants, I drive down field in 2 plays to make it 7-3 Steelers. Then Eli goes down field to make it 10-7 Giants, then I go down and score to make it 14-10 Steelers, then Eli goes down to score to make it 17-14 Giants with 3 seconds left then I return the kickoff for a touchdown on the last play. All in 4 minutes.

Re: What's Your Craziest Superbowl?

I don't have the exact stats, but in Madden 11 I made a created "cupcake" team with a 99 OVR scrambling QB. A few years later, by using a draft guide, I had assembled a SB-worthy team. I played Manning's Colts, and went down very early, but tied it up with less than a minute left. Then the game called the worst pass interference call in history (read: non-existent) and they kicked a field goal and won. I think I almost cried. I vowed that if I played the Colts again, I would murder them.

Next year, I have almost the same team, except I had traded for rookie RB Shaydon Favors (85 OVR, was my one weakness on the team prior). Sure enough, I met the Colts in the Super Bowl again--only this time, it was the 2014 Super Bowl at Metlife Stadium. The ground was covered in snow and it was snowing heavily. Using the same exact sliders as the year before, I pounded the Colts, taking something like a 45-10 lead at halftime and winning by a score of something like 63-20.

It felt pretty damn satisfying.

Re: What's Your Craziest Superbowl?

I didn't quite make the superbowl because of a crazy AFC Championship game: Finished my Bills season. Before the season started I traded for Fred Davis. I traded for Chaz Schilens in week 6. Over the course of the season I signed a few linemen, Sam Acho, Roc Carmichael, Dhani Jones, and Roy Williams. I started off winning the first 5 or 6 games. Then I went through a rough patch but found myself going 11-5 and winning the AFC East. My defense was first in yards allowed, points allowed, passing yds allowed and was 2nd in rushing yards allowed. My offense was top 5 in rushing but almost last in passing. I had Jairus Byrd out for the playoffs.In the wild card round I faced the 9-7 Dolphins who beat me twice in the regular season; 7-22 and 10-24. Down 17-7 with 2 seconds left in the half I had the ball on the Dolphins 2 yard line. Chan Gailey lined his team up for the field goal. As soon as Brad Smith had the snap he rolled right until he found TE Shawn Nelson for a TD. Ryan Lindell kicked a last minute feild goal to give the Bills a 27-24 win. Our defense had 5 picks. Next up was the Steelers. With Big Ben out the Steelers only scored on 2 broken coverages and a fumble return. Buffalo wins 37-21. Next up are the 13-3 Colts. Star linebacker Nick Barnett is out. Kelvin Sheppard and Dhani Jones will start at MLB. With 3 minutes left the Bills took a 17-14 lead. Manning was driving trhe Colts down the field. He therew a long pass to Reggie Wayne that was intercepted with 2 minutes left. Luckily the Colts had 3 timeouts left. On third and 2 rookie RB Jonnie White was handed the ball he got a first down but was crushed and fumbled the ball. The Colts recovered on the Bills 30. 5 plays later Manning threw a 5 yard TD pass to Austin Collie. 21-17. The Bills got the ball with a minute left. With 10 seconds left Stevie Johnson caught a pass down the sideline at the Colts 5 yard line. Somehow he was caught in bounds and the game ended with the Bills scrambling to the line. It was a great season. Marcel Dareus won Defensive rookie of the year. Pro bowlers are Nick Barnett(injured), Jairus Byrd(injured), Marcel Dareus, Kyle Williams, and Bryan Scott.

I just copied this from when I posted it in the Franchise forum.
