Well, had the most exciting Madden game I've ever had the CPU last night. I left the difficulty at All-Pro for the remainder of the 2012 season...actually managed to make it to the Super Bowl against the Browns of all teams...they went 9-7 in the regular season and knocked off the heavily favored Colts in the AFC Title game.
Early on I didn't know how the hell they managed to make it that far, Colt McCoy looked awful and I was managing to stuff Peyton Hillis. Had a 21-6 lead midway through the 4th. That's when Colt went into "no fucking way you're winning this" mode, drove down the field with ease and spammed Cribbs. They have all 3 timeouts and they stuff Bradshaw on the next drive. Drive down the field AGAIN and they score a TD with the 2 point conversion after my D had been great all day.
My last ditch attempts to get in FG range fall short with a Manningham catch reviewed and ruled out of bounds even though he clearly was in (the review system appears to be totally random). Overtime, I get the ball, get a nice drive going. But I get stopped in that iffy area of the field where it's too close to punt. Rather than go for it and have SOME chance, I stupidly send out Tynes for a 55 yard attempt figuring we're in the Superdome with no wind. It's well short. Browns drive down the field again with ease and a Dawson field goal ends it. Browns are Super Bowl 47 champions.
Ordinarily I'd be pissed off that the game did a 180 on me...and if it was against a team I disliked that might have been the case. But man that was exciting. I looked and Tynes only has an 85 kick power rating, that's terrible. Signed Josh Scobee who has like 96.
