Miracle comebacks again

[JonahFalcon]

Thank God I only rented Madden. Once again, Miracle Comeback AI is back.

You know what I'm talking about.

I'm leading by 10 with 4 minutes left in the game (15 min quarters)

Jason Campbell, who's stunk all game, miraculously makes tons of passes:

FG

TD

Then a miracle turnover to give them excellent position for a GW FG in OT.

Sorry, GameFly - I'm not buying this lame excuse for a "football" game.

I'm sick of monopolies. Period.

PS. I thought their menus couldn't get any more irritating or unintuitive.

Umm, with 4 mins left in the game and leading by 10, a comeback seems plausible. Srry bud, up your game.

I'm just saying...it's in there. In my experience it's usually in close games. If you're up by a few TD's it's not normally present but if you're up 10 points in the forth, chances are they'll get a boost.

The boosted stats don't bother me as much as the "miracle turnover". That's just WRONG because you can't avoid it if the CPU wants it to happen.

Football is a chess match. So what if the QB was having a bad day before hand. All that matters is the current play that is running. If he gets the proper time and the correct play on any given down he will produce in a positive manner. Even then some people just get dumb luck. In madden the game is based on percentages and there is always a percent, no matter how big or small, that a bad or good play will happen.

Have you ever heard of Jake Plummer? The king of 4th quarter comebacks. He would normally play horrible all day long but manage to pull a come from behind win somehow. I guess Plummer has comeback AI huh...

I trust Ian when he said that there is no comeback AI. I have seen some strange stuff in madden. But IRL I have seen stranger stuff. Anyone remember the Colts vs Texans game the other year...?

Haven't seen it on All Pro yet.
