1 Second left in the game...Can't call a TO

[TN - BRAVES FAN]

I was down 1 TD, and I had 2 time outs left, with 1 second on the clock on and was tackled at the 1 yard line...The game wouldn't let me call a time out...so I ended up losing the game...Why wouldn't it let me? Is there a rule for clock run off, or is this a glitch in the game?

I don't know if this is it but according to the new rules you must have 3 seconds on the clock to run a play.

Why do people post completely inaccurate information, passing it off as fact?

You must have 3 seconds on the clock to SPIKE THE BALL. You can call a timeout or run a play with 1 or 2 seconds.

I've had the happen on multiple occasions ( not the exact scenario) where I have had timeouts but for whatever reason the game wouldn't let me call them with the button. It would let me win the menu however. Looks to be a random glitch.

I hate it when people are complete dicks without sighting a source. But yes this seems to be correct.

I have had that happen to me before. I got tackled with 4 seconds left and I kept pressing the Time Out button but it wouldn't call a timeout so I pressed pause with 1 sec left and selected time out from the menu and it gave me the timeout. Ever since then, if it is under 30 seconds I automatically press pause and call a timeout from that screen. I don't have an explanation as to why it happens other than it is a glitch.

I do the exact same thing, I have had that happen once and ever since then I do the pause & timeout as well.

I'm wondering if behind the scenes the game clock is actually at like 0.1-0.4 seconds and the logic of the game clock rounds down to 0 seconds remaining even though it displays 1 full second left, thus not allowing the user to call timeout. Seems odd it would do that but with EA you never know...
