If you watched the game between the Denver Broncos and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday then you saw some magic, "Tebow Magic". Just when you thought Denver might be taking an early off-season Tim Tebow and wide receiver, Demaryius Thomas put it in 5th gear. Tebow throws an 18 yard pass to Thomas who runs it down the field for another 62 yards for the touchdown. Now they did all this right at the start of overtime. We didn't even get to see how the new overtime rules would play out.
Here are the new playoff overtime rules via Bleach Report:
- In order to win the game, the team who wins the coin toss must score a touchdown on their first possession.
- In the event of a field goal, the opposing team gets a chance to score. If they kick a field goal, the game continues; if they score a touchdown, the game ends.
- If the game is tied after both teams have had a possession, then the next score wins. In other words, the team who wins the coin toss can no longer just kick a field goal and advance a step closer to the Super Bowl.
Now I'm here's what I'm thinking; With the new overtime rules I'm wondering if they'll be updated to Madden anytime soon. I would love to see how that would play out when I play against an opponent online. I like that both teams have a chance to score. No one can eek out a win anymore which means you can't just try to kill the clock or get it close enough to the end zone to kick a quick field goal. Definitely sounds fair until its your favorite team that gets scored on. lol So far I haven't been in any overtime situations on Madden 12 yet to find out. When I do I'll post it up here for you guys to see.
