I really can't remember any other game that had clock management so bad. Basically all close games i can win because CPU will never call time out and let the time pass by. I'm not being picky here, just really basic clock management is really bad.

Re: CPU Clock managment Wrost of the series?
Yeah, this is something that they really need to fix in a patch, its ridiculous how bad it is. Once in a while the CPU will get it right, but far to often they manage the clock poorly and give themselves no chance at all to win.
Outside of this issue, Im enjoying the game. I quit buying Madden several yrs ago, due to how bad the game had gotten. But decided to take the chance on 20, and overall Im pleased, but the CPU clock management at end of the half and end of game is horrible. Im no video game maker, but I have a hard time believing the devs cant fix this in a patch.Everyone who exalts themselves will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted- Luke14-11

Re: CPU Clock managment Wrost of the series?
While CPU clock management and play calling has been "shaky" in the past, this year it's terrible at the end of the game. While I understand this game is mostly designed and thereby tested for "head-to-head play", it's time for this to be addressed.Comment

Re: CPU Clock managment Wrost of the series?
It is almost a game killer for me. I don't have 20 yet and am waiting to see if this, along with other legacy issues, gets addressed. However, in 19 it is just as bad. Brain dead CPU at end of half and game.
It is embarrassing that they have not fixed this for the past few iterations of the game. It does show that they don't put much, if any, time in testing human vs cpu games during their alpha and beta test cycle.
This is just a series of if-then-else statements based on pretty simple criteria. It should be very easy for them to update and patch. Why they don't or won't...I'll never know.

Every edition of this game has been gosh-awful. Even if the cpu calls timeouts, it is only under 2 minutes. I have to agree with Capa, it is 2019 for goodness sakes, about time to get this right.Comment

CPU threw a pass on first down leading me with less than two minutes to go in the game instead of kneeling.Comment

Re: CPU Clock managment Wrost of the series?
I think it is not that bad, at least for me not the worse I've seen. Where I do see an improvement is that the clock has a small run-off (8 to 13 sec I believe) in between plays when either you or the CPU is running a hurry-up offense under two minutes.
This for me was an improvement as in past Maddens the CPU was able to set-up and snap the ball almost immediately after the previous play was blown dead. This drove me crazy because the computer would end up running probably 10-12 plays inside the last 2min which was completely unrealistic.
So yes, still poor clock management, but also a bit of improvement here and there.Comment

I'm talking about being down by 2 points with 20sec left tackled at the 20yd line and having 2 time outs and letting the clock run and losing the game. I have never seen this type of scenarios before.English, is not my first language.Comment

I believe that this 12 run off which i love since otherwise the clock would be a mess since they removed the walking to the LOS is guilty of these scenarios. I'm not talking of scenarios like the one below, which sucks but at the same time are a bit more complex.

Puzzling, since the CPU defense usually manages the game correctly and uses time outs appropriately.Last edited by edgevoice; 08-31-2019, 07:53 AM.Comment
