Your best game so far

I always love reading about people's most intense games that they've played, so decided to start a thread (forgive me if there is one).

I just had mine, in week 3 of my Dolphins franchise, the 1-1 phins against the 1-1 Chargers.

We'll pick up at halftime, when I'm down 14-7. My run game can't do ****. Pat White hasn't done much at QB, missed several easy targets.

They get a FG early to go up 10. I really needed a TD, and Pat White comes up big in a great drive, converting on a few 3rd downs with short, quick throws and even with his legs on a few plays. I get a Brown 1 yard TD to make it 17-4.

2 plays later, and what happens? Tomlinson runs it up the middle, I have about 6 guys bringing him down, and he breaks out of it and runs 79 yards for the TD, putting them back up 10.

So I get the ball to start the 4th quarter, and I REALLY needed a touchdown. White leads the charge in an almost identical drive as before, this time ending in a Brown 3 yard TD.

I force a stop, and get the ball with about 4 minutes left. I drive down the field calmly yet again, this time Ronnie Brown doing a lot of the dirty work. On 4th and inches from the 25 with about 2 minutes left, I decide to run it down their throats instead of going for OT, because I feared they'd score if I gave them enough time.

I convert, and eventually get down to the 1 yard line, 2nd and goal. 1st Ronnie run: stuffed, second: stuffed. So now I'm faced with 4th and goal from the 2, down by 3, and I have a HUGE decision. I could risk it, but Brown had just been getting stuffed.

So I kick the last second FG, tied it up at 24, going into OT. I win the toss, and just drive down the field pretty easily, the only fault coming at 4th and 1 from their 40, and I converted. I get it down the the 1 AGAIN.

1st and goal: stuffed. 2nd and goal: stuffed, AND RONNIE BROWN FUMBLES. WHY DIDN'T I KICK THE FG!!!!!!! BECAUSE I WANTED ANOTHER BROWN TD TO END IT! Luckily I challenge it, and the play was thankfully reversed. 3rd and goal, I take Ronnie again, he gets behind a blocker, and jukes past and walks into the endzone, I win, 30-24!

Easily one of the best games of Madden I've played.

Re: Your best game so far

I can't even pick just one, they have all been crazy fun. Most recent Vikings vs Packers (me), I was on Jackson like "hot glue". AD was ballin', but I managed to maintain him. Grant was having a nice game; occasionally breaking for large chunks of yards, and Rodgers was efficient, but not dominating.

I was letting my D just take care of the game for me, but Vikes O-coordinator made some adjustments in the second half and T. Jackson lit me up in the air and ground. I was shocked, but amazed on how the momentum took a shift.

Well, when it mattered I was up 20-19 and the Vikes were attempting to win in the last 2 minutes, but my D came up with some great pass breakups and I stopped them on 4 and 2 to for the win. Sick game, Madden is finally back, at least for me.

Re: Your best game so far

Last night in my Seahawks franchise vs. the Cardinals. I was 4-4 and they were 5-3 heading into the game so it was a big one. I go up 7-0 and they come back and tie it 7-7. I get a field goal to go up 10-7 and it stayed that way for a while. they get a drive going but I hold them to a field goal and it is 10-10 with about 3 minutes or so left. I can't do anything and have to punt. they get the ball back and put a drive together and hit a field goal with about 3 seconds left to win it 13-10.

5 overtime game ranked Quickmatch. I missed two FG's for the win in OT then my oponent pick sixed me. I was so much better than him but I had my chances so I can't complain. I like the difficulty in 40+ yard FGs, they are not a guarantee this year.

Re: Your best game so far

I was playing Green Bay with Detroit in my franchise. It was a defensive battle the whole way, 3-0 Green Bay heading into the 4th. Only had a total of 56 yards and I subbed in Graham Harrell to replace Matthew Stafford and he goes 11-11 for 153 yards as we take the lead 17 to 3. But I guess the comeback AI kicked up in high gear and they tied it up with 1 minute to go. As I'm driving down the field, I get to the 37 yard line with :4 seconds left. My kicker hooks it left! OT!

I won the toss, I got the ball moved the ball good and I decided instead of running to the ball just pass it since Harrell was like near perfect, I pass it to Calvin Johnson and gets it and laid out on the field and fumbles as Charles Woodson picks it up and runs it back for the game winning TD.

Epic game. I was pissed off.

Re: Your best game so far

In my Raiders franchise I won 33-30 in OT against the Giants. I came back from a 14 point 4th qtr defecit. Man what a game. As a side-note, in my dynasty the Giants are now 0-6.

Re: Your best game so far

This may sound funny as my best game in Madden 10, forgot what week it was, but I'm using the Vikings and playing at home against the Seahawks-All-Pro with a few slider tweaks-

I'll keep it short they kicked my a** 38-0. It the best game because my team was flat Jackson was benched late in the 3rd and AP was held under 60 yards and I had like 25+ carries. Arron Curry was a Beast against the run. I loved it becasue it shows me Madden as come along way. Every team in the NFL has a week where they cant get out of there own way. the game just rocks!! been playing since Friday and I siitin at work going crazt to get out of here play. I'm 9-4 with the Vikings so far
