    I HATE the chew clock feature!

    I hate the chew clock feature especially online. Someone can get up 7 or 14 points in the 2nd qtr and turn that crap on. There should be a lock on it until the game is completely out of reach. if you are down 21 with less than two and a half minutes, then it would be ok to make the game go by faster, but if you are only down 10 with the whole fourth quarter to go, the chew clock should not be allowed to turn on. Would you guys say that this is Cheesing? I understand that in real football teams run down the 40 second play clock and snap it at one, but 20 seconds does not magically come off the clock while the play clock doesnt move. It would be more acceptable if the chew clock feature ran down the game time and the play clock at an accelerated rate, that would be fine instead of sitting there for 15-20 seconds waiting on the clock to go to one or two seconds. Say you are winning and want to run down the time, there is 1:24 seconds on the game clock and you choose your play with 20 seconds on the play clock. The chew clock should take the game clock AND the play clock down 12 seconds so that when you break the huddle you have 8 seconds to snap the ball and the game clock is now at 1:12. Just my thought. Also while i am ranting (ha ha) they need to tweek the aggresive strip ball strategy. It shouldnt give you a personal foul everytime you takle someone. Other than that i LOVE this game and i think ea did a great job and it looks really great.

    Obviously, you don't know much about the chew clock feature. It DOES run down the play clock to :12 left. It doesn't somehow magically take more than :25 off the game clock, no matter what only :25 comes off the game clock. It can't be cheesing, it's smart football, if you're up in the 4th quarter then why not run as much clock off as you can?

        it is cheesing when used by a guy who got the lead doing cheese oriented stuff- its another way to rub it in your face

          Why does it matter? Its the same thing as somebody waiting manually to snap the ball...instead, it just makes the game go faster...

          I could wait to snap it until the clock is at 1 every time and not use chew clock; and make the opponent and myself wait. Or, I could use chew clock and it does the same thing but goes faster.

            Bottom line:

            If someone wants to run the clock down every time they can do it, and they don't need the "chew clock" feature to do it.

                  ok i stand corrected the play clock does run down. I thought that it didnt. my bad, hey at least i can admit when i am mistaken, but i still think that it should only be allowed to be turned on after about the midway point through the fourth quarter.

                    if my play clock is running down its because I need that time to read a defense and do all the video game audibleing and hot routing etc i always alter before snap and it takes time

                      I understand being upset when you're on defense and the offense snaps it earlier than you want because you want to read the offense and see what they're doing. But it doesn't work the other way around.

                        are right, someone could do it manually, but all i have heard about the past three months is how ea put gimmicks into games and stuff that isnt in "real life" football, well in real life football a team does not run the clock all the way down until the fourth quarter. I think that you should get that sportsmanship points if you use it correctly and it should dock points if you turn it on unnecessarily. I am just saying that people want this game to be as close to real life as possible and that feature being allowed to be misused is contradictory to real life football

                          The cpu doesn't turn it on until late in the 4th. If you're playing against a person, they don't HAVE to play "real" football. So you really should stop complaining about that because it won't do you any good. And again, even if this feature wasn't in the game, somebody (real person) could do this to you just by manually doing it....

                            How do you turn it on or off?

                              Already answered above, if not this page than the page before it. Same thread though.
