Petition to get the accelerated clock in the final 2 minutes via patch

[bonannogiovanni]

Dear Madden Developers, is it possible to emulate NCAA 11 clock acceleration before the end of the halves? Whenever the offense huddles, the clock eats 10 seconds, which justifies a no huddle or a timeout: leaving it the way it is the huddle is even quicker than a no huddle, and good bye simulation.....

Thanks for your attention anyway.

I totally agree. I see why accelerated clock doesn't operate in the final 2 min of each half. But make us suffer for going to the huddle instead of running a no-huddle offense if we make that decision.

Cosign... this would be great.

Unfortunately I don't see it happening. EA actually asked us for a poll on the accelerated clock before Madden 10, and a full-game clock won by a wide margin. Clearly they have their own reasons not too, though I couldn't say what they are.

Signed. Been wanting an accelerated clock for end of halves since the beginning of acc clock.

I remember that poll but was it specifically for the last 2 minutes of halves?

Nope... don't agree. I like that the final minutes slow down some. Adds to the experience for me.

I understand the end of game "excitement" but it's still ridiculous. At the moment the last 2 minutes are played far longer percentage wise than the rest of the game.

There is no 2 minute warning, in Madden it's actually about a 4-6 minute warning. And the CPU is in hurry up mode all that time. I can take a realistic amount of time but I can't force the CPU to do so.

Besides, why not make it optional?

Absolutely agree, I'd love this addition.

You could say with all the stoppages in real life football that a 2 minute warning turns into more like a 10min warning.

I personally like that it slows down and the final 2min you can take advantage of every second you get, you are not getting 10-25seconds runoff automatically.
