The Weirdest Ending to a Game in Madden For You Was...?

[Radja]

very similar to last nites game. playing packers as chargers in 13 down by 1 with under 20 seconds left. i am around the 44 with no time outs. i take a shot at end zone, they pick it off and go out of bounds inside the 1.

i had not played well all game. i was my third or fourth turnover. i felt i didnt even deserve to win and just thought the game was over. i just button mashed through the play call screen and somehow got the safety on their running play. for some reason, i did not do the math that i could still win it.

i ran the clock out after they kick to me. i truly was so shocked it really took me a 20 or 30 seconds to realize i had won.

almost forgot, it was an online franchise game that had lost the server feed and so the game didn't count on my franchise. needless to say, that was frustrating.

This was a long time ago but....I was down by 3. My friend and I were about to get the ball punted back to us with 5 seconds left. (Of course we were much younger and I always wanted to win) I fielded the punt and broke through everybody by my 30 yard line --clear shot to the endzone to win the game.

I was telling my friend, "man, i never lose but I wouldn't mind it once in awhile." So his guy was blocking right next to me down the field....After I told him that his player pushed mine out of bounds and I ended up taking the loss. haha. I learned a lot that day.

I tried to get a 25-30 yard pass to about midfield and then I was going to call a Timeout and try a hail mary. Well, he ended up picking off the pass. I could tell he was holding the "cover up" button so he wouldn't be stripped, but I decided I might as well try for the strip anyways, well, one of my linemen went for the strip and went into one of the strip animations and he ended up fumbling, I fell on the ball with about 5 seconds left right about where I started in the first place. I decided to do a screen to Ray Rice, and he ended up breaking a couple tackles and I got into the endzone and tied it up. After that, we went into overtime and I drove down the field on the first possession and I scored a TD to win the game. It was a pretty crazy game for me. I felt like I was living the Chargers - Patriots 2007 Playoff game all over again.

You had to go there lol

This was back in 2000 or 2001. Played my cousin, up by 6 and he was trying to run out the clock on 4th down and long, and I jumped the gun and it caused an offsides penalty but it stopped the clock! Definitely a glitch or something stupid that wasn't added in madden that year.

He has to punt it, I get it, run back was huge and chucked a hail mary to win the game with no time left. He got so pissed, he threw the remote and didn't want to play for awhile. LOL.

We still remember that game till today.

My craziest finish was in NCAA 12. I was Arizona State vs. Stanford (human) in the Pac 12 title game of an Online Dynasty. The majority of the game was pretty straight forward, until he scored to go up by a TD with less than 2 minutes left. I drive back down and tie it with less than 10 seconds on the clock. He decides to try a Hail Mary from his own 35, but I pick it off, juke his entire defense, and decleat Andrew Luck on my want into the endzone for what should have been a game-winning Pick 6.

BUT WAIT! It was called back for clipping, so we head into OT. In the first OT we trade TDs. In the second OT, we trade missed field goals. In the third OT, he scores but fails on the mandatory conversion attempt. So I get the ball, he holds me to 4th down. I throw into double coverage, where it is deflected to another wideout for the 1st down conversion. I score and make the 2pt to win the championship. Unforgettable.

I was playing with the Giants against my brother at San Francisco in Madden 08 or 09 I believe.

I had a lead in the 4th quarter but my kick returner fumbled, giving my brother the opportunity he used to tie the game. We went into OT and I won the coin toss. I returned the kick to about the 20 and just dove to the ground before a defender could hit me and force another fumble. ..... but as my guy hit the ground he fumbled without being touched, seemed the ground caused the fumble, and my brother recovered and kicked the FG to win the game. I dont remember who was the returner at the time, but man did I want to kill him! Lol

3< minutes left in the game .. 4th and goal from my 1 with my team holding a one-possession lead.. my adrenaline is flowing to get the goal-line stop ...

"Your opponent has been kicked for excessive grieving"

I mean, it was great to get a win, but I was excited for the opportunity at a goal-line stuff

In Madden 25 Owner Mode. I was the Bills and up by 1 against the jets. I just got the game leading and probably game winning score. Jets had the ball at about midfield with 3 seconds left. Threw up a hail mary pass that was intercepted by Jarius Byrd at the 1 who was hit and tackled in the endzone for a safety. I lost 22-21. Craziest Finish ever.
