Bringing this topic back from the grave to see if anyone has any new triumphs...and also to brag about a ridiculous comeback I just made

Madden 2005, me vs. my dad again using semi-updated rosters, I was the Lions (home), he was the Chiefs (away)

I managed to shut Holmes down most of the game, so he brought in Johnson and totally destroyed me with him.

He had a 38-28 lead on me after the 2 minute warning, so he brought Holmes back in and managed a TD, bringing his lead to 44-28....in a fit of rage, I moved my guy offsides on the EP and destroyed his holder...but he declined the penalty (meaning he didn't get an EP) and we just looked to finish up the game

Anyways, I actually managed a Harrington to Pollard TD , and got a 2-point conversion to make it 44-36 with 46 seconds left....whoopdee doo.

Then on the onside kickoff attempt...he called for a normal kickoff return by mistake (he tried calling a timeout but I had already started the kick meter) and I got the onside kick....managed to get several long Harrington passes and eventually a Harrington to Jones TD pass with 23 seconds left...he starts to panic...and on the 2-pt conversion Rogers was wide open but one of his LBs barely managed to block it....making it 44-42

So of course, I go for the onside and he calls the right kickoff team this time.....but I GET IT. So I have 23 seconds to get downfield. Harrington gets two incomplete passes......and then a 27 yarder to Rogers, and I call my 2nd timeout and bring out Hanson for a 51 yard attempt with 4 seconds left to win it

He calls a timeout to distract me, and not gonna lie.....I was afraid I was gonna fuck it up....that heartbeat pressure thing is going on to distract me further.....no wind indoors, I start the meter...99 Power, 99 Accuracy, still BARELY clears the bar to end it, with me winning 45-44....my father and I were both shocked

Amazing how far one extra point can go
