I got the idea from a new multiplayer “football” game (Rematch) where each player is controlling a single athlete.
Basically if your team is down by only one point( 1-2, or 3-4) and you have possession of the ball when time for the match runs out, the game continues until you lose possession, potentially progressing the game into sudden death if your team can score.
Cons:
Takes longer to finish games
Potential lame ultra conservative play
Pros:
Could lead to upsets and comebacks
Exciting finishes
Rewards teams that can create a point gap
