why

Why does it take 22 seconds for my guys to hurry up and spike the ball? I got tackled out of bounds and well the clock kept running. Held in O and after my guys walk around in circles for 22 seconds they lineup and the game ends. Awesome! yes i held in x after i held in O to speed them up.

And who is the powder guy on every teams sidelines. He looks white and sick not sure how he got left in the game.

And why can linebackers pick the ball off better then cb's and safeties?? I played against the raiders. D Mason had one on one with a linebacker, did a slant over the middle. Mason has 2-3 yards on him and this clown LB jump 5 yards and reaches and picks it off. But yet when ed reed has a ball hit him in the face mask 3 times, just doesn't make sense.

I agree that this is somewhat of an issue.

After a long play down the field, is it actually quicker to go to the playcall screen and pick a play quickly then it is to rush to the line and spike it.

That definitely shouldn't be the case.

Re: why

I will try and get a picture. If you click on the nfl2k5/madden link on here where they compare halftime shows. Before you click on the madden halftime show. You can see him on one knee on the sideline.

Re: why

Please don't make those kinds of remarks on this board please. Kids do come on here and read to. But back on topic. I agree. It does take way to long to get back to the line of scrimmage to spike the ball.
