I am 52, this is the greatest ending to any Madden game I've ever played!

I am a Cowboys fan who has been playing Madden since it came out. Last night my friend pointed out that I had never played against the Cowboys. I am not sure if i have (don't think so) and so I took the Ravens against my own team. This is on XSX btw

First of all I'd be remiss if I didn't include this happening to me:



Then this is how the game ends....I was just...WOW WOW WOW

Players actually catching tipped passes this year could make for some pretty crazy hail mary endings.

I actually had a game where I went down and scored with a few seconds left, squibbed the kick and the clock had 1 second on it. The other team threw a hail mary and I got a defensive PI called against me and they kicked the FG and beat me. It was actually pretty cool to see.

It really makes it far more exciting to play when you know there's a small chance it could happen, of course none of us want tons of Hail Mary's to work but so far I think I've completed 3 in about 85 hours and only 1 was a TD, this one.

The game is just amazing this year..

Yeah, I've scored three tipped pass TD in the last week and I have had one against me.

The best ending I ever had to a game was in the SB. 49ers vs Bengals, I think. We were up 30-28. Bengals got into FG range with about five seconds to go. Maybe a thirty-five yarder.



I resigned myself to the loss.


They snapped the ball only for Deforest Buckner to break thru the OL to block it. He literally caught it off the foot of the kicker, recovering it himself.



Buckner retired that offseason with his last play of football being one of the greatest things he could have hoped for. He went into the HOF a few years later.


I like to think he never let go of that ball and talk it home with him, where it sits on the mantle.

The gameplay really has some new dynamics to it that make it fun. The presentation thought. Yuk! After that Hail Mary completion we should be seeing player running onto the field jumping up and down and tackling each other in elation! What do we get....the same old typical cut scenes of the coaches and no real feeling that there was an amazing ending.

In MLB the show they have special sequences for a walk off hit or home run that at least shows the team mates are excited about the win. Here....nada. Just saying.

On that note....what sliders are you using ODogg?

Odogg - Did you user create Turpin or is there a roster update that includes him? I thought Jordan Lewis was #2?

tipped passes are caught at a HIGH rate this year, not good IMO
