Can I request that there isn't an on screen clock? Yes I can. Maybe it could appear in the bottom corner for the last 5 minutes of a match or something but otherwise I'm really not a fan of it outside of ironman matches. In real life the wrestlers and the fans are not privy to the amount of time past, so why is it essential for you to in a video game?
Of course, you could add an option to turn it off.
I don't like that in KoC2 it has the time but the announcer says "10 minutes gone" and stuff anyway. I'd rather just have the announcer. Yeah, the wrestlers are given a time in televised, worked matches but this is a video game and the wrestlers don't wear a watch to the ring so they have to gage how long has gone or ask the ref.
First of all their NEEDS to be a clock..second I prefer a REAL TIME clock...third you can give the option for the clock to appear on screen or not (i personally prefer on screen clock).
well i say optional, but if you chose to hide it in matchs you have limited time it'll show from the begining and count back. like a 3 minute submission match that punk had vs hardcore holly. or the beat the clock matchs.
Clock is good optional, I like it for some things, but in XXW I have to cut to certain events mid-match, and that would throw off the clock, so I want it off sometimes too.
Although the graphics wont be photo realistic I think not having an onscreen clock makes it look more real and less like a videogame, except under the circumstances where an on screen clock would appear on television (ten second counts on rumbles, in iron man matches, in beat the clock matches) and with the possibility of it appearing (or maybe some form of audio clock - "5 minutes left") towards the end of a match.
