End of Game Knee Downs

[Godgers12]

This may seem kind of small and insignificant. But when there is 30 seconds left in the game and you call a knee down, and your opponent is out of timeouts, I would really wish it would cut to a scene of the teams converging on the field for hand shakes ect. And end the game, instead of having to wait half a minute for the clock to hit zero.

Right on. There is zero emotion on that field, and the models are lifeless. EA needs a producer on Madden that wants to make what we see on TV and at real games happen in their game.

That sounds like a good idea but only if there's an option to toggle it. I don't think any part of the game should be automatically cut off before the clock hits zero unless the user explicitly allowed it to happen. But I get what you're saying, that last 34 seconds is pointless to the majority of players.

It's an extra nuance that could be implemented but I doubt it'll ever happen.

I do not agree with you, people want the game as realistic as possible, this is what happens in real life.

The truth is that what happens is that teams have a choice. The offensive team could either run a play, kneel it again, or just walk away. They virtually always choose to just stand up and mingle on the field. They are not, however, required to do so.

The truest to life option would be to give the user the same choice.

They should do what they do in NCAA....if you have the ball under two minutes you should have the choice to run down the clock, how hard can it be to implement, it had always driven me crazy in madden

[bdeezy89]

Agree, they should give you a choice depending on the scenario. Like a blowout or if it's impossible for the other team to comeback then you can press a button to end the game early

I'd rather nor see what that'd look like with the current engine. It'd be a robotic, clumsy mess.
