Great feature that saves time.

Yes they could, but they wouldn't bother doing it from qtr 1. I have no issues with 4rth qtr or even 3rd. But 1 and 2 it should not be avail.

Why? I like to control clock and possession. I don't consider it to be cheesing.

I LOVE chew clock in the game itself, just NOT online. I realize the time would be the same whether he wore it down himself or whether he used chew clock, but he never started running the clock down UNTIL he turned on chew clock in the 2nd quarter. My point is it makes it easier for a cheeser to waste the clock to 1 second on every play and makes them more inclined to do that then they normally would.

If you want to do that at the end of the game, fine, but all game...hell no. And if you can't play 5 minute online games without the feature on, then why the hell are you even playing online? The games dont take THAT long.

Nothing wrong with controlling the clock. But online vs a human. Do it yourself. Don't be lazy. Why should you get free time off the clock?...answer:YOU SHOULDN'T.

All I can say is that I had one of my most exciting games on '10 involving the chew clock feature. Up 10-7 in an online game in the fourth, I ran out nearly the entire fourth quarter with this surprisingly (to me at least) highly rated RB from UConn. I had a major decision to make on 4th and 1 at my opponent's 42-ish with under two minutes left. I faked the punt, got the first and kneeled my way to sweet victory!

Yes, I know no one probably cares about the details, but it just goes to show how ball control offense using this feature can sometimes win (or lose) you tight games like the one I had. I'm loving it!

It REALLY pissed me off because he got up 14-0 with cheese tactics before I got a lucky break on a fumble recovery and interception to tie it up at 14-all...felt like I was back in it, then he starts running his usual cheese offense, runs the play clock down to one every time AND has chew clock on taking off about 10 seconds each snap. Really killed me at the end of the first half and end of the game when I kept it close and needed to get the ball back and he just ran the clock down with this crap. I try to keep cool when playing video game football but this game really sent me through the roof. I didn't even realize chew clock was an option on the playcall screen until this but I figure once a lot of people notice it, it's going to become very abused. I realize you can return the favor to the person doing it, but then the game just becomes ridiculous and no fun.

No doubt it had to suck playing someone like that, but the chew clock feature is great. Look at it this way, you would have had to sit there for all that extra time while he just sat and ran it down to 0.

BTW, isn't the whole 'sportsmanship' thing supposed to put a limit on how bad the cheesing gets? Or is that only when you both use your showdown schools?
