Perhaps because some coaches sometimes tend to set aside a certain period for playing. If that period might suddenly need to grow 50% longer - because of Overtime - it would make it a lot more difficult to fit matches in.
I've never come across any league that used OT for regular matches. |

I tried this game but strangely it seemed to contain no stalling or fouling. This confused me, so I had to stop playing. |

I didn't read through the 8 pages to see what was mentioned, so this has already probably been stated.
Stalling, just like excessive fouling or crowd pushing, is part of the game and is used as a standard tactic with some coaches and not used with others.
If you use stalling to tie the game, fine. If you stall for 6 turns to win and not let the opponent have a chance, not cool. If you stall when you have a 11-4 advantage to make the game go faster, yay. It all depends on the coach and the situation. Tournaments, and games, can be won or lost by stalling, but so can respect. But hey, as long as we love each other it's all good, right? |

your statements were fine until this point right here
where in the rules does it say that i have to give my opponent a chance to beat me?
basically what you're saying, is all the work that i do through a game, outplaying a coach, running better strategies, field position, etc...i should just throw out the window, and hand my opponent the ball, just to give them a chance to even the game up, or possibly beat me?..
are you insane?
sportsmanship only goes so far....being a good sport does *NOT* mean that you have to hand over control to your opponent and let them beat you....*WRONG*....
if my opponent is smart enough to take the ball from me when i'm stalling, good for them, i'll be a good sport about it, and not whine, and take it like a man....but you must be out of your freaking mind if you think i'm just going to *GIVE* the ball to someone "just to be nice about it"....

the real question behind all these questions is finally... shall i play worse when my opponent or oppontens team is not strong enough to mess with me?
...and if i do, will it not be frustrating to see how he lucks me away? |

I think all players should keep one thing in mind:
The goal of defense is to prevent your opponent from scoring.
One example of a good defense: Taking the ball away from your opponent.
Another example of a good defense: Preventing them from advancing the ball.
A third example of a good defense: Preventing them from getting the ball.
Knocking the ball carrier down?
A good solid line of blockers that cannot be pushed through?
Keeping control of the ball and preventing your opponent from getting the ball from you?
All are perfectly good defense.
Stalling is not "lame". A successful stall is a good defense.
Example 4 of a good defense: Killing all the opposing players. But for some reason, that makes people more upset, and no one seems to like a dirty player. It's just defense folks, that's all. |

I try to beat up my opponent IF he chooses to stall
Seriously, I try to prevent the opportunity to stall and when I can't I try to rip apart his team to a) convince him to score, already or b) weaken his team if play will continue after
Stalling's not so bad for a turn or two to make it harder for me to score, but I get particularly annoyed if my opponent could probably score again before the half is ove but would still rather sit around and settle for 1 TD.
It's even worse when they've beaten me up to the point where I dont even try to fight them off and they still decide to stall... and foul my players who aren't even getting up... doesn't happen much, but it's miserable and can set a team back by a huge degree. |
