Is there a reason why they didnt change it back?

I could undertand it if Ncaa 2006 was this way but heck it has 5 min ranked games online,why not Madden?Funny thing is Ncaa has a shorter play clock meaning you cant run clock like you can on Madden 2006..If anything Ncaa should be 4 min and Madden 5 minutes :rolleyes:

I never seen one person on any message board saying change it to 4 min games..But last year I seen a TON saying change it back to 5 min and they ignore us?

ya 4 min is good. 5min is just to long. I wanna play at least 3 games a night, and if it was 5mins, then I could prolly only get 2 in.

I usually get one game in... but get disconnected by halftime and get the loss... the rest of the night is my crying with a bottle of Jack and a Disney movie.

Why dont they give us the option to make 4,5 or 6 minutes ranked like in Madden 2003..Dont do the 1,2,3 minutes so guys can play 40 games a day though.Just a thought.

5 minute quarters is alot better than 4 if you ask me, i prefer 6 personally.

the key is playing against guys you know who are str8 ballers though.

i wish we had an option too.

Last year when they changed it to 4 min. I didn't like it at all at first... but after I started playing on 4 min quarters I liked it much better. I agree with most people... 5 minutes is just too long.

Yeah he tried to run away from the "hammers" and he still ended up getting "hammered".

They should give you the option and just give you fewer rank points for shorter games.

i just finished one hell of a game with dankbuds and i wish it was longer than 5 minutes.

IMHO,I prefer 5 min. because it's easy to :rolleyes: run the clock in 4 min. games after taking the lead.The games go way too fast.I would really like them to change it back to 5 min.

If you choose to you can play what ever length game you want. I play 6 7 min games all the time. They just have to be unranked.
