Madden 17 yesterday. I've started a new career with the Texans with the new rosters.
Started the season a bit iffy with rookie QB DeShaun Watson.
The first game against the Bears, I used my timeouts too quick in the first half and ran out of time while driving down the field. On the last play of the game we were 3rd and goal on the 1 yard line. Tried a FB Dive straight up the middle and got stuffed. Lost that one.
Second game against Kansas City, the game started off as a shootout. Watson threw 4 picks, one being a 95 yard pick 6. Lost that one by a big margin.
Between the games I cut both Leckler (Punter) and Novak (Kicker) and signed Free Agent Pat McAfee. (purely because hes a gun and I like his Podcast). It also cleared about $900k in the salary cap. McAfee can punt and kick. Two birds one stone.
Third game was against the Patriots in Foxborough, Held Brady to eff all, picked him off twice, sacked him 6 times. The only score I put up was a field goal and a safety. We won our first game of the season 5-0.
Fourth game was against the Titans in Houston. The Titans scored first, and we replied pretty quickly. Our second TD was on a 51 yard post route. thrown perfectly to DeAndre Hopkins. BUT McAfee missed the extra point, making the score 13-7. Trust the only guy I signed so far potentially cost us the game. The Titans scored two field goals, tying the game, and sending us to overtime.
In OT, DeShaun Watson threw a pick, meaning the Titans only needed a FG to win it. On their first play, the Titans fumbled and we recovered. Watson drove the ball to the 28 yard line. I decided to go for the FG to end it. In this situation, the game makes it harder for you. The HUD disappears, the controller starts vibrating, and I started sweating. McAfee steps up to kick. Swings the boot. It's a low, hard kick. Scrapes over the bar. TEXANS WIN!
I had to turn it off and have a lie down.
