Found November 04, 2008 on The Hungry Actor:
I like many of you love Madden. I especially love the franchise mode and every time I buy a version of Madden I will play through as many as 10 seasons-yes I'm a nerd. I have had my share of disgusting defeats at the hands of the computer but I think half the fun is having the difficulty high enough so every game is in doubt and I don't mind losing. So it is the rare time that I find myself resetting my system so the result is not saved. Well yesterday it happened for the first time in years. My skins were in the divisional round of the playoffs against the undefeated Packers. It was apparent from the beginning that I had a long road ahead of me after throwing two picks and then being cursed with fumblitis and losing six of them in the first 3 and half quarters. Nonetheless with 1 minute left I got the ball back at my 15 with the game tied at 24. I had to use my last time out with 20 seconds left and about 7 yards outside of my kickers field goal range. I hit my TE over the middle for 12 yards with about 15 seconds left (plenty of time for a spike and kick) and then inexplicably Chris Cooley got up and wandered around the field for 13 seconds before he decided to run back to his position and time expired. As if that wasn't bad enough I win the toss in overtime and get a huge return out of Rock Cartwright almost into field goal range when Rock fumbles for the first time all season. The Pack recovers and returns it all the way to my 25. I reset the machine while their winning kick was in the air. So I ask you all have you ever suffered a more devastating defeat?
