1 Second left in the game...Can't call a TO

[TN - BRAVES FAN]

I was down 1 TD, and I had 2 time outs left, with 1 second on the clock on and was tackled at the 1 yard line...The game wouldn't let me call a time out...so I ended up losing the game...Why wouldn't it let me? Is there a rule for clock run off, or is this a glitch in the game?

I don't know if this is it but according to the new rules you must have 3 seconds on the clock to run a play.

Why do people post completely inaccurate information, passing it off as fact?

You must have 3 seconds on the clock to SPIKE THE BALL. You can call a timeout or run a play with 1 or 2 seconds.

I've had the happen on multiple occasions ( not the exact scenario) where I have had timeouts but for whatever reason the game wouldn't let me call them with the button. It would let me win the menu however. Looks to be a random glitch.

I hate it when people are complete dicks without sighting a source. But yes this seems to be correct.

I have had that happen to me before. I got tackled with 4 seconds left and I kept pressing the Time Out button but it wouldn't call a timeout so I pressed pause with 1 sec left and selected time out from the menu and it gave me the timeout. Ever since then, if it is under 30 seconds I automatically press pause and call a timeout from that screen. I don't have an explanation as to why it happens other than it is a glitch.

I do the exact same thing, I have had that happen once and ever since then I do the pause & timeout as well.

I'm wondering if behind the scenes the game clock is actually at like 0.1-0.4 seconds and the logic of the game clock rounds down to 0 seconds remaining even though it displays 1 full second left, thus not allowing the user to call timeout. Seems odd it would do that but with EA you never know...

Right after I saw this thread, I played a game where I had gotten a first down with one second left in the half and was trying to call a timeout and it actually didn't even let me do it in the pause menu. I hit select over and over, and then before getting set went to the pause menu and the timeout button was grayed out.

Wasn't an issue for that particular game, but thought it was really strange.

Maybe you weren't considered "down" yet? For example, after a play I'll sometimes want to see the replay, but it won't allow me to select replay yet. I go back to the game, allow a second or two to go by & then I can select replay at that point. Maybe a similar situation?

That doesn't work. I've tried it. The option is greyed out, despite my team having 3 timeouts remaining.
