Well clearly. But you play the game differently. 35 seconds in madden a person can easily get off 4, and 5 or 6 plays with no time outs and not getting oob or spiking is very doable. In real life? A team would be hard pressed to even get a 3rd play off. And if they do happen to get a 20-30 yard gain, forget about a 3rd play.

What does acc clock really get us with it not on under 2 min? Wow a longer game clock, and more of that time ticks off after calling a play (assuming it is running.) I can play 8 min quarters with it off and I see no difference. Oh wow TOP is a little closer to realism. Big deal, it still isn't perfect because to get realistic play counts we have to go with 12 min or so because so many plays can be executed when under 2 min. Sounds pretty worthless to me.

I think you are missing the point. I wasn't complaining I couldn't stop them. I was just stating a scenario of how not having the acc. clock under 2 minutes is anything but realistic, and isnt realism what everyone here is looking for? I still have to stop them I had no idea

I agree of the body frames of which the players you were talking about, but unless there helmets are popping off in madden 10, unless they have some sort of hair thats supposed to be sticking out I wouldn't care if all the players were bald underneath.

You can't the short haired people anyway, but if helmets were popping off then I would care about hair detail. I only care if they have dreads or just long hair in general sticking out the back of the helmet.

LOL. I didn't miss the point. This isn't rocket science. I knew what you meant, and I understand your gripe with the play count issue. But as I've stated, it's not an issue for me... I haven't seen this brought up but once or twice in different spots, and I'd think if it were considered a major problem OS would be the first place to have a lot of talk about it. Even in this thread, I think a few people who are major hardcores don't consider it an issue. I'm not saying your view is not valid, because if it is an issue for you then it's certainly valid.

To be honest, with 35 seconds left I rarely allow the CPU to get off more than 3 plays, and I have to strongly disagree with you that getting off 3 or 4 is uncommon in that situation. It's actually very common, as it happens all the time in real life and there are too many examples to list... it simply depends on the outcome of the plays. You can get 3 or 4 incompletions in 35 seconds and still have plenty of time left, this happens a lot.

Another situation I've seen is a team making a few completions and using the sidelines well, and I've seen combinations of that with at least one spike. They may not have won but they were able to reel off a number of plays. It happens often enough.

In Madden, if a team is pinned back deep, I can purposely allow a medium-long. Even if they call no-huddle they won't have much time left after that completion. I may allow one or two more and by then the game is over unless they had at least 2 timeouts, but the CPU manages time poorly so I rarely see them with more than 1 at this point. I give up just enough to keep the clock running. I usually get the stop here, that's how I win most of my close games...

I have an awful lot of experience with the late game situation because probably 90%+ of my games come down to those situations for some reason be it vs. CPU or Human. I just don't see this the same way because it's not an issue for me... What can I tell ya

Ian, if you're still watching this one... I wanted to drop a few more ideas of some on/off's:

*Hitcam on/off

*Breakaway cam on/off

*In-game replay music on/off: I love NFL Films music but sometimes I get tired of hearing it during user replays. I'd really like to be able to load-in my own music in this spot as well as other spots (custom soundtracks!!!).
