Accelerated Clock

I don't like it either. I took that ish off. But I guess i'ma have ta turn it back on to prepare for online play.

the games past by so fast

Well, from what I've seen in madden 09 guys did milk the clock to much even in the first quarter they'd wait till the playclock was to 3 and snap it. I know it happens in games, but this is a video game...its boring to sit and do nothing for 40 seconds before you snap the ball...I like the clock, also it will make games online go by lil quicker...I like this bc my fiance is always on me to finish games, now i can get 2-3 games in before she gripes.

Big time mistake by EA! The only thing they have done by putting the accelerated clock in, is taking strategy out of the game. Its that simple. So what if someone wants to run the clock, that part of the game. LESS possesions for the other team! hmm smart isn't it! This better be fixed soon. A madden not worth playing ranked games is a used madden back at the gamestop I got it from!

I can't even motion a player without cutting it close. Unacceptable!

I find it to be realistic in every way except that the game goes too fast. If it were with 7 or 8 minute quarters I would say that it is perfect.

Agreed I have the same problems with hot routes:(

Let me first say that I am the audible and hot route king. I hot route every pass play and the way my O is set up I usually audible 65%+ of my plays in Madden. So when I first started playin 10 I hated it. I thought it was some BS that Ian dreamt up because he couldnt compete with people who understood route combos and setting plays up. But I read a post on another madden website that has made me realize it is best for online play. It basically cuts out about 80% of the BS that has been in Madden since online first came about. It would have cut out the QB walk in 09. People who flip their plays multiple times or mulitple audibles to try to get the FB closer to the line or try to gain an unfair advantage is out. While its not perfect I think in the long run for the online communtiy it is best. I am still audibling 65%+ and getting my hot routes in so it really hasn't affected as much as it did at first.

I wish that it wouldnt eat so much clock off.Im ok with it but they should lessen the amount of time it takes away.I also use alot of motion for multiple things and this hurts not only my running but setting up other plays with motion.

I've noticed it, and I really haven't had a problem with it at all. I hot route/motion a little bit but not much so it's straight. I actually think it's a good idea cause like rob said, people can't come out in 5 wide and just invent their own fucking unstoppable play or use one they read on the internet that doesn't even exist.

i personally think its not that bad in my opinion. at first i was skeptical but now it seems its the right thing to do just in case glitches n things show up.

im not a big fan of the accelerated clock because it doesnt give too much time to make adjustments. although i guess i can understand why EA put it in limits people from milking the whole clock. my only problem is online games go by WAY to fast

I think it has its pros and cons.

I ate almost 5min of the cloack and drove down the field to kick the winning field goal, and that was with 95% passing and 5% running cause I was getting stuffed in the back field.

I do how ever hate to sit around watching someone audible up and down, but then again you cant blame them (as long as it isnt used to abuse)

yeah i like to run a lot of the same formation, no-huddle and just audible my entire drive, I havent been able to do that yet, I'm getting used to it though

so because I like to adjust my plays to what the defense is showing that makes me an asshole? and how does me running no huddle make you get a delay of game?

seriously this is like three threads in a row why are you hatin on my posts?

im not hatin on ya posts playa but you said you like to no-huddle then audible alot thats the reason why they implemented the acc clock and fatigue in the game. your not playin the game its supposed to be played if your doin s*** like that over and over.

thank god for the accelerated clock i can get 3games in b4 i go to wok instead of the 1 lol

I audible once per down, i dont glitch or anything. How is it possible that I've seen countless drives were Peyton Manning marched the colts down the field with out a huddle 80 -70 yard drives only ever speaking to his team through audibles, that sounds like real life to me

but only peyton manning does that on a consistent basis so it really wouldnt really be like real life if you did it with anybody else right?

So you're saying the only way you wont ******, is if I play as the colts? because im pretty sure you'd ****** either way

the first play of the drive is the most frustrating. so little time to adjust

I finally played this game and the clock is so stupid! I had at least 15 delay of game penalties in 3 games.. Nate clementspicks off everything thrown his way... Every qb has pin point accuracy off his back foot... And there were 7 kick returns for tds in the 3 games I played.. I hate madden 10.. They tried so hard to make it realistic on certain things but it just created more problems with being not realistic..

7 in 3 games! that sounds rediculous

Yea I'm talking about 7 between me and my friends.. I ran back one every game and had one ran back on me every game and one game I had 2 ran back on me.

what teams were you using, because I've had a few guys be able to run back at least one a game, speed is such a huge factor in this game, it didnt used to be because pretty much every WR had great speed in madden, now its more realistic. Sadly more realistic means the great returners are unstoppable once a game :-p
