"It's Time" Epic Challenges

It took me the entirety of the Bills-Dolphins game last night to complete challenge 5 with my 83 OVR team. One time I had it in the bag and I kid you not the game froze and force restarted. You have to net 1-2 onside kicks to accomplish this in time. Pass only, obviously, for deep passes to run out of bounds or score. Go for 2 over the XP. Play defense like you would online, with the MLB or S as your user. After all of this I still had to kick a field goal to go up exactly 8 with 10 seconds on the clock. Brutal.

The same as others have reported, unfortunately. 80 OVR Ka'imi Fairbairn was my highest pull, with 72-78s for the rest. I recognize I'm just OCD about clearing all the stars, but also hope this unlocks additional challenges with escalating rewards in the future.

I’ve gotten very close.  Right now the biggest issue is the computers lack of urgency when down.  I’ve been up by 5 with 2 minutes left and the CPU will take 1 minute and 50 seconds and basically never use time outs or move the ball.  I’ll get the ball back with 10 seconds and have to Hail Mary it.

Do those challenges expire together with season 2? Or can be completed later on with a better team?

Im not doing all that to pull an 80 - no chance

Just wait until you get to the 5th.  It' s impossible.    

You have 5:45 left in the 4th qtr, down 10 and on defense with no timeouts.   You have to win by 8.  You can't be tackled more than 7 times.

I tried it one time.   Got the punt and dove to avoid the tackle.   And it counted as a tackle.

Dont try to win in regulation, just tie the game and win in OT. Onside kick of rip and restart as many times as you need until you get it. Tough as hell but thats been my gameplan

You guys will not believe this shit. Tried it for like 3 hours yesterday and could not get it. Today all of a sudden I got it first try with no onside kick. Two picks and a fumble, I also did it in regulation not a OT crazy stuff wow

Don't forget you can onside kick kinda easy this year .... It might help some of you...also a nice nickle blitz also helps. I beat all the fist epics with a 76 overall team... Not sayng it was easy.... I'm just having fun with these  challenges all together...

I completed these just now with my god squad on old gen... some of the hardest solos since "Field Of Gronks" way back in the day (from MUT17).  

Defnitely not worth grinding for with a lower OVR squad...

Yes I’m stuck on 5 how did you beat it

I did the first lot. The rewards were terrible. I won't bother going back.

I actually just finished these on my no money spent account on current gen.   I think I'm up to an 85 OVR there.

For the rushing challenges... I used the RPO Stretch out of IForm Slot (Jets playbook)... and for passing I used Verticals.  The passing ones were not too bad... but the rushing ones still took a few tries.  It helps having Achane at HB.

Hope this helps.

If you're first to score a TD in overtime, the game is over.   I don't think you get to go for two.

Beat fifth challenge several times last night. Twice in overtime and twice in regulation. In overtime each team gets a chance to score a TD. In went for 2 points missed so they got a ball. Not sure what would have happened if I took Xp instead. I used chiefs and vikings offenses to win and raiders defense. That seemed to work best. Ran shot gun and play actions.. hope this helps

Thanks buddy, didn't see this until today. I did use it form close stretch ..Dickerson is a beast. Used chiefs and vikings offense running shot gun n play action. Only tackled 2 times of 7..
