    accelerated clock in offline franchise?

    So I want to start my Bears franchise...15 minute qtrs with accelerated clock to 12 seconds...but I can't find the option to do so.

    I have it set to 12 seconds in the main menu options, but it does not work in my franchise....and I can't seem to find the option anywhere.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks!

      nope....that wasn't it. It works in Exhibition but not in Franchise.

      Even with a saved profile when I start the Franchise it's default quarter length is 5 minutes...so I don't know what is going on.

        I have the same issue I have mine set to 14 seconds on the run off but it is at 20 in franchise mode. There is no option to set it in franchise mode which is ridiculous and it doesn't appear to carry over.

          I was just about to post that this is what's going on. I wanted mine set to 15 seconds....so i figured it wasn't working. But you're right. It's 20 seconds and you can't change it.

            I just had it confirmed that it 20 second auto run off by default and no way to change it. This comes from Bill Abner who got it from Josh Looman.

            Unbelievable isn't the word I would choose for this. Really no tester of community day guy say this and thought that's not going to be good?

              it is pretty ridiculous that they give you the option to customize the run off but not for franchise. Isn't the accelerated clock pretty much used in franchise mode anyway, unbelievable!

                thank god I haven't purchased this game yet.

                I used 2000 MS points I had off a card for this "season pass"....I'm planning on using it as a rental system....and it's already worth it.

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

                    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.

                              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.
