| I just played a ranked game and it went to OT. THE other guy got the ball first and went down and scored a FIELD GOAL. I never touched the ball and lost even though he kicked a field goal. Can i get this clarified because i thought if you kicked a field goal now and your oppent didnt touch the ball in OT i thought i got a chance to score. Thanks |

| that is only in the playoffs.
regular season games the rules are that in overtime first team to score wins.
in playoffs, you would have gotten the ball back there and would have needed to score at least 3 points to keep the game going _________________ xbox gamertag - i3rian 87; playstation online - i3rian87 aim - i3rian 87 http://twitter.com/i3rian87  Forrest Griffin, BEASTMY BLOG, UPDATED DAILY -> http://fourdownterritory.com/ <-NFL, UFC, Video Games, Sports, and more!

| to further clarify, playoff rules for OT are as follows:
If the first team to get the ball scores a touchdown, the game is over.
If the first team to get the ball scores a FG, the other team gets a chance with the ball and has to hit a FG to keep game going or a touchdown to win. If the 2nd team with the ball fails to score then the game is over.
If the first team scores a FG, 2nd team scores a FG, then the next team to score wins no matter what. _________________ xbox gamertag - i3rian 87; playstation online - i3rian87 aim - i3rian 87 http://twitter.com/i3rian87  Forrest Griffin, BEASTMY BLOG, UPDATED DAILY -> http://fourdownterritory.com/ <-NFL, UFC, Video Games, Sports, and more!

| Don't sweat it. It's just ranked....
But yes, ranked games are supposed to use the playoff overtime rules... _________________ 1x C4 360 Majors SB Champ (Season V) Inaugural C4 NCAA 360 Champ, COTY, and MVP (Trifecta) C4 Most Consistent Madden 11 Player C4 Madden 11 Defensive Player of the Year Madden Bible's (Madden 12) TWIMMY post-humous Co-Defensive Player of the Year w/Jerms |
