Acc. Clock and Game Speed

[BamaBruce]

Please tell me there is an option to turn ACC clock off, lol at least for when playing O

I deducted similar things from today's gameplay blog. Accelerated clock is on and is only bypassed by using no-huddle offense.

The point is to get a realistic number of plays in, so it shouldn't matter if the "virtual" time says 15 or 6 minutes. It will just take some testing from us to figure out what the best mix is to produce a realistic amount of plays per game.

This is similar to what I understand accelerated clock to be except that it's only up to 10s instead of giving you options for how much time is skipped. Setting tempo to conservative is chew the clock. Doing this skips the play clock down to about 10s remaining (so it'll skip 25s if you call a play with 35s remaining or it'll skip 1s if you call a play with 11s remaining).

So is it like last year where it's only for the user's use or can both user and cpu use it??

Well, the accelerated clock runs all game long no matter who has the ball. So after every play the play clock will skip down 8-10 seconds and so will the game clock if it is running.

Oh sweet! That's not how it was last year was it??

I guess we can play 15 min quarters. I thought it was just for User, not cpu.

Not necessarily. If you want around 120 plays(average amount for both teams combined IRL) per game, 15 min with a 10 sec runoff would be too long. In order to play 15 min in my madden franchise, I had to have a 20 sec runoff. I'm guessing around 7 or 8 minutes will be the sweet spot for a realistic number of plays in NCAA this year.

Oh whoops. I misread it. I thought it said skip down to 8-10 seconds. Not skip down 8-10 seconds.

That really sucks. I don't know if I'll buy now....

It was 7 or 8 min last year with no clock run off. 10-11 minutes is probably a little closer. It's not 15, but it's better than 7 or 8.
