what is accelerrated clock precisely, for a noob

[dashowstopper77]

been playign madden for years and i have a vague understanding of what it means. But just for understanding if i put o na 15 minute game and accellerated clock of 20 seconds does that means theres only only 3 seconds per minute equaling a 45 second game? im very confused

It causes the play clock to run down since on madden it takes less time to pick plays than in the real world thus causing a realistic snap with the play clock under 10 seconds.


The whole point to using this is to lengthen the quarters causing more realistic stats and a more realistic game overall.

7 minute quarters with accelrated clock should provide pretty realistic results.

I beg to differ. I consider "realistic" to be 120-125 plays per game...I don't see how you'd reach that total with 7 minutes quarters much less 7 minute quarters with the accelerated clock.

I'm thinking 15 minutes with either :20 or :25 acceleration along with bumped up offensive penalty sliders may do the trick.

Exactly what I am going to be doing.

Accelerated Clock is the single best feature if you follow time of possession in football (which is a big part of real football.....please read this NCAA team!).

It basically allows you to play full 15 minute quarters while have the play clock run off time after you pick your play speeding up the time that in real life players are running onto the field, the qb is makign the call in the huddle.

If you don't know what it is and like the game I wouldn't worry about it. But for us simheads it is a very very very important feature. Again I hope the NCAA crew reads this.

On a podcast I heard recently they explained that 7 min Quarters and the excelerated clock would give you accurate stats.
