I am not sure if this is an issue that's big enough to kill a purchase. But to each their own.

Still... Lame... Was this by choice or overlooked?

I'm not really calling the a "purchase killer" per se....but if they overlooked this I'm sure to run into others over the next 3 days.

I'm also just frustrated after the whole NCAA debacle.

So I'm thinking 10 minutes for realistic stats?

Someone brought up a good point, they probably capped it here so they could balance the sim stat engine for franchise.

I guess that will please more people then this will piss off.

One is unrelated and the other is jumping to conclusions a bit. But it's your money, your decision, i am not trying to tell you want to do. Just seemed your post was making it out to be bigger than it is.

Danimal, did Josh say this was by design?

I just played a game 12 minutes on 15 rundown, and had the right # of plays. So I am thinking 11 or 10 minutes with 20 seconds.

BK below is what Bill wrote in another place. I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth so this is all second hand coming to me. I was just saying someone else I was discussing this with thought the balanced stats might be the reason.

I asked Josh Looman about that last week. It's not a franchise option. The accelerated clock is always on and auto runs to 20 seconds.

Josh said "He didn't know why" it wasn't there but will be there for M13.

Thanks Danimal.

I hate to be this guy, because I really want to believe in this team, but REALLY? REALLY? The accelerated clock makes it possible for me to play 15 minute quarters and get realistic stats and T.O.P. I don't want to play 12 minute quarters, it feels cheap to me when I should be able to play 15, you know, like the pro's do.

IMO, this is a mandatory patch. Why give us the option if you don't allow me to use it in the ONLY MODE I PLAY?

Major bummer.

WOW! You can't change the clock runoff time in franchise!?!?!? That is ****** ridiculous! This has got to be a near the top of the list for the first patch.
