In terms of running the clock down and 4th downs.
Well done on your win!
Running the clock down is fine, everyone does it, so don't feel under pressure to throw if you have a lead late in the game. It might seem like it's milking it a bit but that's because the accelerated clock is broken at the minute (resulting in the game clock going in real time as opposed to skipping 20 seconds after each play as long as the ball doesn't go dead) and needs to be fixed with an EA patch which will hopefully be out in the next week or two.
As for your 4th down question, the league rules state that:No going for it on 4th down unless the situation calls for it, some specific examples are;
1) Go for it anytime inside the 10
2) Go for it anytime in Q4 when behind OR inside opposition 40
3) Go for it anytime when 4th and 1 inside opposition 40
4) Go for it only 1 more time in a given game outside of the rules above
Presuming the ball was at midfield, your play would fall into example 4 so technically it was fine to go for it. I think it all depends on the play style of the coach in that position and whether it was actually 4th and 1 or 4th and 2. I'd be conservative near the end of a game and try to pin my opponent back a bit, and if it was 4th and 2 as opposed to 4th and 1 at midfield (a big difference in terms of what decision it would cause real NFL teams to make) I can see why some players wouldn't be too happy about you going for it as in the real life I think 99 out of 100 coaches with a 7 point lead would punt in that position.0 -

Fair enough.
I wasn't sure what way ye played it as he stopped using the timeouts after the first one so I thought maybe ye didn't run the clock.
Ya tbh I can't really remember if it was 4th and 1/2, it may even have been inches as I remember one late passing play came up just short.
I just felt at the time it was worth the tactical risk, he still had decent ground to make up but if I got to 1st at a minimum he was leaving himself with 0 timeouts and about 30secs with a quick stoppage.
I think I was in his half as well as I was near FG range for most of this drive after a long gain on one pass so may well not have relied on rule 4.
If I turned it over, I still had 3 timeouts and time to drive for a FG had he scored a TD.
Oh ya, are the games usually laggy?(my other onlines lagged but I assumed they were all Americans so its understandable)
I dropped a FG short due to the lag which was made worse by my 7 point lead being cut to 0 a play or two after (on the stroke of HT as well).
If it usually lags, it really makes long FGs too difficult0 -
