this happens alot and it gets annoying. ill be in my 2 minute offence when i have no timeouts left and running no huddles but everytime i get back to the line my players are ready but i have to wait for the defence to get set before i can hike the ball? is there anyway to hike the ball before the defence is set?

People don't like it on this game because it doesn't give them enough time to adjust their defense. It's considered "cheap". I personally don't see an issue here. The only problem I have with the no huddle is the offside glitch. Aside from that, I think it's a viable offensive strategy.

thats basically the point of a no huddle offence so the defence isnt ready...

That's exactly what I thought, but people still see it as cheese. In fact in the "official sim rules" it is only acceptable if you wait about 10 seconds to snap the ball...
It's all bull if you ask me...

^^^ You spelled "allowed" as "aloud"
Sorry, I'm just really picky.

I don't have any problem with a no huddle as long as people don't offside glitch on me. They can't do that in the NFL; running to the LOS and hiking it as fast as you can to get the D offsides.

Ya I don't really have a problem with it but over and over and over all game isn't realistic. The teams that use it in real life don't do it all game they use it in certain situations and even then if you watch they don't just run up to the ball and snap it they go up and make adjustments at the line and usually at least 10secs is gonna run off unless it is under 2minutes then ya they hike it asap. And there is a way to hike it when the D isn't set even if they are offsides so its a glitch if you use it to get a free offsides penalty, but if the Defense changes the play the offense has to wait for them to reset. But it is annoying when only a little bit of time is left (under 2 minutes) and you are trying to hurry up and you have to wait for the defense to set and they take forever, because in real life the offense doesn't have to wait at all.

Offence doesn't wait for defense.
The worst part is when you call a no huddle and your team jogs to the line with no sense of urgency.
Oh and even worse than that is when the defense calls an audible before they are set and the basicislly crawl into position and your stuck waiting and watching the clock tick away.

The thing I find funny is that all these people still think the No Huddle and Hurry Up are the same thing. That is always the first excuse people who abuse the Hurry Up don't seem to understand. At least with this game they let the D get set, but the No Huddle teams run in the NFL don't sprint to the line they still take their time. They just don't stop and huddle, they go to the line and stand in position until the play is called. I can't believe how no one understands this difference. Watch the Colts play their next game when Peyton goes no huddle you don't see him sprint to the line, he would be to tired after the first quarter to play the rest of the game.

Inside two minutes in the 4th quarter me offense needs to be sprinting to get into position and should not have to wait for the defense.
I don't give a damn if you call it no huddle or hurry up. As long as it is performed with some sort of urgency inside the 2 minute drill.

Agreed, but the Hurry Up and No Huddle are 2 different things. But inside 2 minutes yes I think there should be more urgency.

i understand the difference but when you are in a 2 minute drill with no time outs and need to spike the ball or get a play off you have to wait for the defence to get back to the line and get set. and if the other player calls audibles that makes me have to wait even longer so that gets me a little ****ed off because you have a chance to put up 7 or 3 points before half time or a game winning drive in the 4th but you cant because you have to wait for the defence. i think as long as the offence is set i dont give a crap if the defence is still at the other side of the field im gona hike the ball i need to get my play off and dont you all remember that rule defence always has to be ready.
