But really, I love the feature. A+.

I am sorry but it does not make the game more like actual football. Richrod cant say ok boys we are going to turn on Chew clock in QTR one and let the playclock auto take time away. They run it theirself. That is realism.

You can turn it on from there. Dunno why it's only available when you have the ball...

Because the offense controls the clock. Not the defense.

If i was trying to call a time out sure I'd buy that...But it is turning on a feature, it isn't like I'm adding or subtracting time. It should be in the options before you begin the game.

You are thinking of a flat out accelerated clock. that is not what chew clock is. Its offense only time warp. And the feature auto subtracts time.

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 hope that they either patch the game so that the sportsmanship rating will be in effect in every online game, or that they do that next year. Having the game add and subtract points for the way a player goes about his buisiness online is great, as long as it doesn't get stupid and nail ppl for going for it on 4th down in the 3rd if you're down by 20+ points...If they can nail it down to situational play, that would certainly be revolutionary and save those of us who play football AS football a great deal of grief.

On a separate note, I don't understand why the chew clock feature is not working for the CPU teams. Unless that's by design, in which case, why ?

Teams run the clock down to :01 from the first play to the last play of the game. Like someone else said. If chew clock wasn't in the game you would be bitching because someone wasted your time by running the clock down every play. I personally don't like sitting at the LOS for 20 seconds while I milk the clock. Chew Clock allows me to run my ball control offense and not get bored in between plays. It's a nice trade off for the game not having players entering and exiting the field in between play calls.
