Not really. You can use any school to play but your points will only count towards the "favorite" school associated with your profile EDIT: From the dev himself:

. The sportsmanship feature right now is only useful in the lobby where you can see a player's rating on the ID card and differentiate the nice guys from the rest. I wish EA would allow this rating to be seen in online "Play Now" screens, as well as let you sort people in lobbies based on this rating. BTW, anyone noticed the DNF% not showing up in quick match screens?

I agree. The chew clock tactic doesn't take any more time away. It just speeds things up, which is nice. If you play someone using this tactic, I would rather have chew clock on instead of having the opponent snap with one second left on the play clock each time.

At the bottom of your initial offensive playcall screen (the list with ask corso, by formation, by play type..)

IMO, Chew Clock is one of those features that makes the game more like actual football. Teams do this constantly in real life. You get a lead, you protect it by running the football and shortening the game.
If you don't want people to do that to you, you a) can't give them a two score lead and b) when they do start to eat the clock you better score and make them regret it. But really, I love the feature. A+.

Playing offline, it's on the page that has "ask Corso", "By Formation" and all that....It's on the bottom. If you get the ball first you can turn it on right away (as far as I know it's off by default offline) but when you get the ball, just hit (B) or (O) and it will pop you out to that page. You can turn it on from there. Dunno why it's only available when you have the ball...

The point is that the people using chew clock would not do so if they had to run it manually. they are starting it from the get go and using it every possesion.
