What was your best gameplay memories of the year?

a lot 

I have several, but I'll give you some background:

To give you some background:  I'm 52 years old, I play Madden almost exclusively with the Panthers exclusively, never run shotgun formations, never quit, etc...  I was playing a game against the Vikings a couple days ago as the first game in December, and first of the new "season" after ending the previous season with 10 straight losses in mostly one score games (7 out of 10 by 8 pts or less)... 😭😭😭

To set the table, I'm up 17-14 in the 4th quarter, my opponent has the ball and is driving.  I'm keeping him to short gains, but can't quite get off the field after 4 opportunities on 3rd down.  My opponent reaches the red zone with a  little over a minute left.  Neither of us is calling timeout and his offense just keeps chipping away until he scores the go ahead touchdown with 0:17 left in the 4th.  I told him that he "might have left me too much time" as he kicked his extra point to take a 4 point lead.

My turn...  All game long my opponent kicked every kickoff out the back of the end zone, but this one he kicks short to Trevor Etienne.  The offense trots out:

1st and 10 from our own 31 with 0:14 left in the 4th

 - We line up in Singleback Spread for the first time all game with the Vikings coming out with a 6-man box.  We motion the right slot across the formation to the left, hot route him to a post against a zone look.  At the snap, it's man coverage but the slot's man is coming from across the field.  I rip a throw to hit Hunter Renfrow for a gain of 21 with the ball on the left hash.  TIMEOUT (2 remaining).

1st and 10 from his 48 with 0:09 left in the 4th

- We again line up in Singleback Spread.  We hot route both outside receivers to comebacks, both slot receivers to a streak, then motion the back to the right to Singleback Empty look and set him on a post.  The Vikings look like they are in man, but aren't sending pressure.  At the snap, the defense rushes 4 and the linebacker roves the middle allowing me to fire a rocket out to Tetairoa McMillan for a gain of 17, but he's inbounds.  TIMEOUT (1 remaining).  

1st and 10 from hiw 31 with 0:04 remaining in the 4th

- This time we line up in Singleback Y-Trips Four Verticals because we don't expect to have time for two plays.  We expect the defense to send pressure and defend deep, so we opt for protection over the spread.  The Vikings open with an 8-man box, then rotate into a 2-deep look, but we still expect a blitz so we Max Protect, motion the right slot to the left and set him on a post while the outside receivers are both on streaks.  At the snap, we read Cover 1 man and launch the ball high and deep to the left to Tetairoa McMillan again in a one-on-one.  WALKOFF TD.  Game over.

Gotta love this game!!!
