If you don't buy this game then you are stupid/poor. It is clearly the best game on the Gamecube. That is all.

Final score - 72 - 10
Whoopee
Whoopee
So, I started a Grudge Match, at the end of the 1st QUarter, it's 24-0, with them kicking off at the start of the second.
I make a pass. Intercepted.
Madden hates me.

I made a good comeback though, it ended 17-3 at the end of the first half
I should have won though, the number of mistakes I'm prone to making make it worse.
Example, I had the ball on the 50 yard line (roundabout there).
I started off with the time running down, if I'd picked aquick passing play, I could possibly have made it to their 40, and went for a field goal, however, I didn't, and I was penalised for taking too long, lost 10 yards (i think), and had 3 seconds left on the clock,
I had no choice but to try for a field goal with those 3 seconds, 72 yard attempt.
No chance.

Not bad, you only lost by a touchdown. All-Pro is a progression you make once you know how the game works and once you have more of a feel for the game.
I just played teh Eagles on All-Pro mode.
ALl of my timeouts were wasted because of the damn shortcut, so all they did was wind down the clock for the last minute.
I fumbled about 4 times, and there were so many turnovers due to ints, fumbles and safeties it was unbelievable.
Final score 30-24 to Philly.
Damn.

Oh I thought you were 24-22 UP
when I scored my 57yd TD I literally jumped around and spiked my official NFL ball into the ground in joy. I love Madden

Also, it put me 24-22 down, a field goal would put me in the lead, whereas I'd only be equal with a 1-pt conversion.

I go for 2PC's all the time, because they almost never manage to cover the person I pass to. Out of about 50 attempts, I'd say only about 5-10 have been no good.

Probably, I was playing at like 4am and can't remember a thing, maybe I've got it all backwards and it happened in the 3rd quarter, to be honest, I don't have a clue, maybe I dreamt the game, I have no idea why I can remember all of it.
I do remember the two fubles I returned for TD's though, I tried it the play after that, no joy.
Maybe it was challenged from the booth, I recall it happening, but lat night?
No idea.
Maybe I've got the plays in the wrong order.
