Winning the coin toss..

Could you change the way the coin toss works?! Since Overtime is also involved, everybody will automatically pick receive!! Everybody; unless you don't know anything about football, will want to receive the Overtime kickoff, but I would like to defer at the beginning of the game! I want the ball in the 2nd half!! What's up with this?..and is there a way to change it?..and could you please change it?!

Idk if I understand what your asking but you can defer now but it's not seperate from overtime which it should be(if thats what your asking I understand)...As of now go to gameplan then click misc and you should see the defer option..

I think its because a lot of people probably havent had an overtime game in a long time....plus he added the new overtime rules awhile back too(I'm in mnf1 the test league) but it should be an option ....most def

As far as I can tell, the coin toss rules match the NFL. IMO, that's the way it should be.

nah it doesn't ...On this game you pick once and its the same for both(regular and overtime)...If the NFL was the same as this game you wouldnt have an overtime coin toss....(maybe we misunderstood each other)

My bad. Thanks for the clarification. I think I misread the original post.

I would like it if it matched the NFL.

I don't think this is correct.

I always choose to defer.

However, I recently had an OT where I won the toss in OT and elected to receive.

I'll confirm this later when I get a chance.

Here is the game I was referring to:

NJ won the oppening toss and elected to receive. I won the toss in OT and elected to receive, even though my MISC settings are set to Defer, so in my opinion this works as it should, at least until we have a separate option for choosing what we want to do after winning the OT coin toss.
