    Awareness - Any Ideas How It Could Be Used

    Watching the Panthers game I saw Delhomme miss the play clock and get a Delay of Game.

    Then it made me think:

    What if the playclock wasn't shown at all times. Depending on the awareness levels of your QB, a rookie may have a harder time paying attention or something.

    If you are in a big away game or something it will affect your awareness.

    Dunno, just a thought.

    In 5:00 games how often does the playclock become a factor?

    Ideally if accelerated clock is in the game and we can play 15 min quarters then something like this would be interesting. But most delay of game penalties come from the play not being called quick enough from the coaches area (a nasty little secret no one talks about).

      I was saying it in hopes tat Acc Clock would be in 2010...

      I know what you mean about 5:00... Either way, I just want some authentic football.. That means penalties happening to me and the CPU.. Injuries... and Rating Categories that actually mean something...

        THe playclock in madden is 40 seconds. You break the huddle with 39 seconds left....

        Thats ridiculously long in ANY FORM OF REAL FOOTBALL. And is even longer in a video game.

        If they reduced the playclock to 20 seconds, then maybe, or use accelerated clock.

        I can run 10 plays and control the ball for 7.5 minutes, in a game with 5 minute quarters.

          It could work the same way it does for Homefield advantage in NCAA.

          Pre-snap: Some receiver icons blanked out. Controller shaking violently. Audibles and hot routes take longer to call. The routes are wiggling and not static like they are normally.

            Exactly. That would be a good way of doing it.

              Maybe there should be some formula in the game's code that would allow the AWR rating to be a multiplier of other important stats.

              For example, when DE's are closing in on a young QB with low AWR, just how low that AWR rating is could be negatively affecting both THW POW and THW ACC directly ...or vise versa.

              Or, when a great HB jukes a bad MLB with low AWR, that could hurt his TCK and HIT POW ratings. But if it's Ray Lewis and his high AWR, no special moves could lower his TCK, and it would only be a more normal TCK vs. BRK TCK matchup.

                I keep winning mvp after mvp with Tebow and his awareness doesn't progress above 86. Wats up with that. I've had numerous coordinators and head coaches that specialise in adding qb awareness.

                  Excel clock will be in Madden 10. It was ready for 09 but it was too big for the patch or something like that.

                  If they took the time to post develop it for Madden 09 and it was number 1, 2 or 3 requested wishlist item from most published gaming magazines at the release of 09 you know its going to be in there.

                  Im in Vegas so i'd put this feature as making it in as +390. Psst... almost 4 to 1
                  Because I can!

                    Accel clock would be good. Don't have to worry about 39 second playclocks any more.

                    They need an option to enable/disable cpu long snap. I'm sure the majority of casual gamers aren't happy waitiing 10 seconds every play.

                      Especially for 5-6 minute quarters.

                        They should use it as a camera view. If a running back has a high awareness, the camera will be zoomed out farther than a running back with a lower awareness, and therefore making it easier to see all the defensive players on the field. Or the same for quarterbacks, the higher the rating the more field they get to see when throwing the ball.

                          This sounds like a great idea.

                          Although it'll never fly. People have already dismissed the vision cone because it was 'too' hard to use.

                          People love their God's eye view. I don't think this is gonna change.

                            I wasn't a big fan of vision cone just because it wasn't a perfect system. I felt like I was doing 10 things at once with one hand behind my Right Analog Stick.

                            If they could find a way to use Awareness as more than just a Rating that determines OVR I would be pretty happy.

                            Progression in Franchise is key for me. I miss the Madden 2005 performance based progression.

                            I think its lame that you have to be better than the top at your position to progress. I think it should be based on prior performances and what they do for their team. (When new ratings come out, it is always based on how they are doing for their team).

                              No way you take the playclock away in a football game... even if the person you are using has bad awareness. I've seen humans get delay of games on accident, so just leave the playclock alone.
                              fool me once... shame on me.
