Am I the a****?

Yeah most of the time I see it is with X factor running backs, sometimes 2 of them…  cringe is  a good word for it.  Feels like they’re mad desperate for a win…

And it’s usually a combo of things… like you said: running with 2 X-Factor backs and then on defense, running DB Fire or Over Storm Brave (just blitzing all out). I face palm each time

I start running the clock in the 1st! LMAO

It’s obviously situational and depends on your scheme but I have quite literally never heard any team or players complain about that in my life. Only some madden players seems to whine about it.
 

Most coaches I’ve had have instilled in me the fact that clock control and time of possession is key within a ground and pound offense. It limits the opponents opportunities, wears down their defense, and saves your defenses energy. Whether you realize some teams purposely chew clock or not, they do as long as their run game is productive. Just off the top of my head Jim Harbaugh‘s 49ers/Wolverines and Belichick’s Patriots are great examples.

Yeah as a 49er fan I’ve never seen him run down the clock at the start of the 3rd qtr.  Also I think a lot of people confuse madden as a game and the nfl as a profession where millions of dollars are at stake  including your job… 

i think we all know what you’re talking about controlling the clock and keeping the ball in your hands vs the opponents, but no nfl HC  is going to make there fans  watch the clock go down to 1-5 seconds every play to make this happen.  They use efficiency, strategy and gamelan.  The run clock button  is a cheesy way to accomplish that, imo.

 But that’s why I asked to see what this community thinks

Fr, not to mention the field goal  blocking glitch… is it too much to ask for a good original non YouTube copied game??? 
 

reminds me of a family member that used to basically always say, when playing games “character, honor, and social kindness doesn’t matter. it’s the norm to be an ahole  to other people as long as it’s  online” and “it’s ALL about winning “

dude completely changed my view on society😆😆

Well you didn’t specify down to 1-5 seconds. You said running the clock. That being said, some teams absolutely will run the clock down to 5 seconds if the situation benefits them. They line up late and don’t just sit in formation for 20 seconds so you probably don’t notice on TV.
 

I highly doubt any NFL coach is thinking about the fans thoughts on how he runs his offense so long as it is successful and the right decision for the team.

is running the clock in a close game  in the 3rd qtr strategy or a simp move?

 You would think a football game would have more  Honorable players but I feel this game has more shortcut/cheesers than any other online community…..

So you are saying.....Honorable players are the ones that purposely give YOU extra chances for YOU to beat them.

I get it now!  I forgot... "Everyone gets a ribbon."

Turn the Scoreboard off. We don't want know what the score is, We are all winners!

Bro I’m literally talking about the run clock option starting in the 3rd in a close game… 

 idc if they’re running the clock with 2-3 minutes left in the 4th and they’re trying to keep the last possession.

idc if they’re running the the clock starting in the 3rd up by two possessions  WITH the ball

 just talking about  people who have no faith in their defense or passing ability  and run the clock starting in the 3rd and usually with 1 or 2 X factor running backs

The object is to win. Whatever it takes.
