Add more time...... Teams milking the clock in the first half is not competitive. Its cheap. Add more time or something

    EA has used quarter lengths from 6 min to 3 min for Ranked games over the 23 years of online play, as well as various options for tempo (Chew Clock, No Huddle, Normal, Accelerated Clock, etc.).  

    While I share your pain when people milk the clock, you could stop them by getting the ball back for your offense.  Whether that's via good defense that forces a punt, a turnover on downs, a turnover, or whatever FOOTBALL means are at your fingertips to take control of the clock away from your opponent.  

    Simply put, OFFENSE controls the clock.  If you want control of the clock, stay on offense.  Extend your drives.  Control the clock, so your opponent can't.  

    The Qtr length has been 4-min for long enough that I don't think it will change again given the dataset over the years...  The only thing left is for you to step your defensive game up so the clock is on your team OR get better at scoring quickly so the clock isn't a factor.
