You don't have this in Madden, because you can call a play in four seconds and break the huddle with 36 left on the play clock (or 20-21 left in NCAA). This means more plays, which means inflated stats, which means you have to tweak how long your quarters are to adjust. Hence, the original poster on this topic wanted the FPS feature put into Madden, to allow for more realism.

Hope that clears it up.

Never played fps but that sounds like something worth trying. And yes it does clear it up for me
