Is there any thought to putting in the rules used currently in the CFL and NCAA for overtime.

Yes, there has been thought but I'm well past the point of being able to add new features. That's going to have to wait until next time.

Sorry.

This is the first time i'm glad a feature is not in the game. I can't stand NCAA overtime rules. I litterally have to turn the games off once that crap starts. To me, it is no longer football.

I must agree aswell. I've never really liked how the NCAA does its Overtime rules, it inflates stats and prolongs games unnessessarily. I personally like how the NFL and NFLE does its overtime games.

I dont like the NFL sudden death. Both teams should tget the ball at least once. To many times the team winning the coin toss wins the game. It happened this last sunday.

Well then, you should like NFLE. If I recall, NFLE has each team getting one possession, but becomes sudden death after each team has had the ball once. And in NFLE, you don't start from the 25, play continues just like in Regulation.

This is from an NFL discussion group on AOL.com:

Statistics show a 52 to 48 edge for the team that wins the toss. Not as much as it appears, since about 30% of the time the team that wins the toss drives for the opening score.
