The Most Devastating Losses Of Your Dynasty?

[ChaseB]

Been bouncing around dynasties using a team from each star level, and my 4-star team is South Carolina, which has been a roller coaster.

I had just an all-time ripper of a fold last night. If you don't know, South Carolina has a brutal 2024 schedule (not quite Gators insane overall, but maybe the hardest in SEC) so we're just looking for any signature wins we can squeeze out in Year 1.

Anyway, we go into Tuscaloosa, and we put together an amazing first half holding Milroe in check and am winning 14-7 at the break. He comes alive in 2nd but we stand tall inside our own 25 multiple times and block an XP at one point to keep things manageable late in the 4th.

We're down 26-21 with 5:30 to go, and we put together a long drive including a 4th down conversion and score with :26 secs to go, the score is now 27-26, so I go for two because I want to be up a field goal.

What do you think happens?

That's right, I throw a PICK 2 and am now down 28-27 as Bama runs it all the way back for the score. But it's somehow not over yet as I somehow recover the onside kick (I think my first of this year) and still have one timeout.

I put together enough of a drive to line up for a 49-yard FG and, oh yeah baby, that ish gets shanked at the buzzer and I go down in crushing fashion.

My first Dynasty with Colorado, lost the natty by 1 point.

4th quarter, up by 2. Opposing team threw the ball, got tiped...CAUGHT and tackled. Was just within range for a 45 yard field goal. Hit it with time expired.

Less than 10 seconds remaining opponent scored, recovered onside kick, completed a Hail Mary. I hate when that happens.

Not a devastating loss, but had a devastating win. Was the head coach of Kent State and we made it to the MAC Conference Championship game vs NIU. We play great for 3 quarters, up 17-0 entering the 4th. We end up blowing the lead and the game goes to OT. NIU has the ball first and scores 3. We get the ball make it down to the 1 yard line and get stuffed on 3rd and goal. I know NIU is the better team so I decide to go for two. Hand the ball off to my running back who "barely" make it over the line and we win. After the game ends I go to watch the screenshot and he was clearly short. We should have lost and its jst felt dirty to feel happy about it

Wow, what a gut punch loss Chase. Thanks for starting the thread. I've had many bad and dumb losses, but the closest to "devastating" probably comes from the very first game I had in dynasty. I was Buffalo and was playing vs Navy.


I was 17-6 at half, but it was my wife's birthday and she was ready to use the Xbox, so I super-simmed the second half. Navy scored 19 straight points and got up 25-24. I jumped in and took control. Drove down the field, set up a FG inside the 10 with 7 seconds left. I shanked it soooo bad and lost. Like a 25 yard FG maybe went 20 yards wide of the goal posts

A month ago, I looked at running an Alabama test dynasty. I immediately lost to Western Kentucky and fired myself after one game. So yeah, the L was beyond devastating to the dynasty. It was flatout lethal.

I intercepted a pass on my own 5 yard line with like 30 seconds left. I could not gain a yard. So now its 4th down and my scary a55 for some reason thought the cpu would block my punt. So I go for it with 4 seconds left. My intentions were to scramble and just throw the ball away. The plan did not work. My RT just let the DE go untouched. I got safetied and lost by one point smh

Worst loss since my uncle beat me on madden 06 with -75 yards. Yes you read that right.
