That's clutch. Stop whining you act as if this list of Clutch players will help that team win more games or something. It's a team game O-Line still needs to block and QB's still need to play mistake free football. these Clutch players won't help these teams in madden win games all of a sudden. The user behind the sticks will.

Not sure where you have been, but here are a list of events that have occurred since Tebow had his awesome year!

I would remove: All Linemen - not sure how they are clutch Jones Drew Weddle Tebow Woodson (Loved him as a player, but he was barely signed this off-season) Holmes Mannigham Steve Smith Bailey (still decent Cb, but past his prime)

nah you gotta keep steve smith...

No Luck is ridiculous. One of the most clutch seasons ever last year, but Manningham makes it after 1 catch.
Ugh.

Clutch - Tending to be successful in tense or critical situations.

Tim Tebow has 7 4th quarter/OT comebacks/game winning drives in his SHORT career as a STARTER. I think people are blind to their hatred or just don't understand what clutch actually is.

Tebow was HUGELY clutch against Miami. Not only did he score the game saving touchdown, but he ran in the game tying 2pt conversation.

Tebow led the Broncos down the field on a 95 yard touchdown drive against the Jets. Finished off by his 20+ yard touchdown run.

He also had comebacks/game winning drives against Texans, Chargers, Vikings, Bears and the Steelers.

Just because he sat on the bench last season doesn't mean he lost his clutch factor. That is ridiculous to think someone loses his clutch factor sitting on the bench for a season. Tebow has been clutch his entire career. I doubt sitting on the bench one season made him lose his clutch factor. So before you say someone is or isn't clutch. You have to understand what clutch actually is.

If this was last years game I would completely agree, but its not.

What makes him less clutch this year compared to the other year? I doubt he lost his clutch factor in a year... Just because he isn't a starter doesn't mean he isn't clutch. That's what I don't understand about your peoples argument.

When did i say Tim Tebow wasn't clutch? I just don't believe a third string quarterback, who didn't play last year, deserves an attribute on Madden that will make him superior to others when there are other players who actually get PT deserve it and haven't been recognized.

The real issue is how the Clutch rating is activated.

For some reason being down 7 points with 3 minutes remaining doesn't mean clutch players step up but exactly 1 minute later they all of a sudden understand the situation and step up and become godly?

The feature is broken. It should be something that is attributed to a player after a string of clutch performances, used to help teams determine their overall worth to the team.

QBs are way too overpowered when given the clutch rating. It literally affects almost every player on their team for the better. Meanwhile other clutch players are only gradually improved.

Also, having 'clutch' but no 'choke artist' rating imbalances the game. There needs to be an opposite for the same reasons the clutch rating is in the game.

Personally though, I don't believe a trait such as clutch should have such a drastic effect because clutch is attributed to playoff games, OT, final drives, 3rd and 4th downs etc. etc.

To have the clutch rating only activate itself within 2 minutes, it misses the point and is yet another 'gloss' addition that can be used for marketing purposes.
