A facet of Madden 2004 that I really liked was how the clock would speed up as the players went from the huddle to the line of scrimmage. To me it allowed for more realistic clock management without standing around. Is this going to be in ESPN this year?

Actually, this would DETRACT from realistic clock management. The clock does not all of a sudden change pace in the NFL just because you are walking from the huddle to the LOS. Why should it be so in an NFL video game?

That's not really what it did. All it did was run the play clock down to 20 quickly before you break the huddle(if you called the play with more than 20 seconds on the play clock), except in the last 2 minutes or so of the half. So that way, a realistic amount of time could be run off the clock between plays without the player having to sit around and wait for it to run off.

But that is how long a real NFL game is supposed to last. This is why I play 5-minute Regular Season, 10-minute Playoffs and a 15-minute Super Bowl. Regular Season games take me about an hour each. Playoffs are about an hour and a half since they should be more involved, and then my Super Bowl is about 2 to 2.5 hours to make it as close to a real Super Bowl as possible.

Obviously you're interested in getting the real time and playing time as similar as possible. What an accelerated clock does is get the number of snaps as close to real as possible. Neither way is less realistic than the other.

Re: Speed up clock

Vader, it IS more like the NFL than playing on 5 minute quarters because in the NFL, the plays are relayed from the Off. Coordinator to a sideline guy to the QB who calls the play in the huddle etc. Plays are rarely snapped with less than 10 seconds on the clock and every game somebody will usually get at least one delay a game (if you are the Rams a lot more). The accellerated clock would be a cool option for those that like it and it would more accurately simulate game situations. If there is 3:00 left in the third quarter and you are down 14 in the NFL, its not that big a deal. Its a pretty big deal in 5 minute quarters on a video game as your play calling would be very different.

You don't have to use it if you don't want to. Not everyone has the time to play a 2.5 hour game.

OH..MY..DEAR..LORD!

I..I..just..I can't even laugh. I want to but I'm so stunned I can't. If someone ran into my house right now and destroyed everything I wouldn't even know it. I'm just sitting wondering how the hell is this possible. I think I'm paralyzed for at least this day.
