Up 45-26 with 5:25 to play. I think I have this game won.

They run the next kick back for a TD

Recover an onside kick and score another TD

Recover another onside kick and score another TD

I lose 46-45

exactly why the football sim sucks

it has a built in thing when it is wrong that overcomes all odds



improve the game

simulate reality



don just add a big tootin 90% die roll the last minute to make your ends match your ideation



asinine asymptotic behavior

Bizarre, but not totally unrealistic. I have been to a real game where something like this happened.

theromper, you have my sympathies. Glad this wasn't a playoff game, but still ...

I think most of us who have been around a while have had a similar experience, although even my worst instance was not this extreme.
