Accelerated Clock

What are your thoughts on it? What adjustments will you make with it on? and will you play with the accelerated clock, or refuse to play ranked games?

Ian Cummings, lead designer of Madden 10, said the accelerated clock was designed to STOP PEOPLE FROM HOT ROUTING AND MAKING ADJUSTMENTS PRE-SNAP!

how much of a joke is that?!? he acts like he's never seen Peyton Manning play football before. I want to play Madden like Peyton plays football, methodically. I want to come to the LOS, check the defense, make adjustments, make pre-snap reads, and then execute. It's so much harder to do that this year.

All its really gona due is make everyone no huddle.. Its stupid.. I'm thinkin no ranked games is a possibility..

but they can't no huddle because the fatigue system is so sensitive.

So what happens if u no huddle and they get tired? I mean if it doesn't affect their play then it won't matter.. All we know is they come out of the game if u don't no huddle..

yeah they can still play, but they **** up more and get injured. so its totally less worth it this year to run no huddle.

accelerated clock just makes it impossible for guys like me to NOT milk the clock the whole game, cuz i usually take like any where from 10-20 seconds to pick my play, then i like to check out the defense, so i wont have much time to snap.

BLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWS.

Its gona suck for me too! I pick my play relatively quick but I hot route multiple wrs almost every play and use a lot of motion.. Once I motion sometimes I misread the D and have to hot route again to adjust to what I saw when my guy went in motion..

hmm Im not realy a pro player IM casual and dont even notice the clock thing

This is the dumbest news ian cummings could have released football is about strategy n houte routing is very much part of the football experience. I swear ea jus does dumb **** to piss ppl off. They r money hungry. Look at the bs download content they have in the store. Cnt wait for nfl 2k to come back

While it sucks for the people that hot route and read defenses and s***, it will also prevent people from doing the unstoppable deep pass and 5 WR curls...If those things are out and you have to rely on real NFL plays instead of made up hot routes, you won't hear me complain about it...

I don't like the accelerated clock at all. I like to motion guys as well for blocking or to give a formation a new look, but now I get delay of game penalties called against me. 15 seconds is too much of a runoff for me for online games. I play more unranked games anyway though so I take it off.

I like it. Makes games go WAY faster

yeah i bet ill lab less in ranked this year because of the accelerated clock, its just frustrating. especially for the first few weeks of madden while im still labbing plays and s***.

and thats is one of the biggest problems chris, not being able to motion guys. a lot of people (i only got in to it late in the 09 season) use a lot of motion for all kinds of reasons. not as many people will be this year, im sure

I hate it, whenever I play with the vikings I always hotroute adrian peterson and now i get delay of game penalties:(

I agree
It's good in my book

agree with who?

yea i like it too.
i get bored when people take forever to pick a play then motion back and forth.
people that do all that care to much i just like to get the show on the road

eggs i like it because in football you dont get in a huddle and get out with 35 seconds on the play clock usually you have 15 to 20 and its usually right around there and it also helps stop the audible in and out of plays i enjoy it hope they keep it in

I like the idea behind the accellerated clock but the games go way too fast, shoulda kept it but made the games 7 or 8 minute quarters. I agree with Wopper though.

if they didnt want to have people audibling why couldnt they just take 10 seconds of the play clock instead of the accelerated clock thing?

I like the fact it makes the guys that like to call 3 audibles...flip the play...5 hot routes...motion 2 guys....before snapping the ball have less time to do all that bs...but I don't like how easy it makes it to chew the clock....I lost my first game to a level 6 13-7 but it was actually 10-7 cuz he converted on 4th and 1 after I used my 3rd t.o. and kicked the fg when time expired jus to pad stats. Anyways I played great d but. His first drive was 7mins ended up with a fg...wtf...then he stopped me and we go into half I'm down 3-0... I bust a nice return with harvin but he gets stripped and he scores a td on that drive killin rest of 3rd qtr almost. I go down and score a td and only have 2 and half mins left to get ball back...so what happened was I had the ball twice for about a total of 5 mins..wtf. but I dunno ill give it some time...the new gmplay and speed is growing on me. It feels a lot like a slowed down version of ncaa 10...the big diff is the passing game is very touchy unlike 09 where it was so easy to complete passes.

yeah the acc clock pisses me off. i take up WAAYY too much time on the clock just because i run the ball alot. and i dont wait for the play clock to go down or nothin thats just what happens

I actually dont mind it. It makes the game go faster when you want to run the clock, but it also hurts when your down and they keep taking 12 seconds from you.

Wopper u make no sence f it bruh, u say u like it cuz its realistic so hell u might as well say let's play 15 min qtrs! acc. clock is stupid!

i cnt stand it they need 2 take it out if they didnt want u 2 hot route dey shoulda

taken da pre snap menu off and made it 3 min qrts
