The very bottom option is labeled Coaching Adjustments. From the playcalling screen, back out to the “main” menu. If the game is especially tight, you can use coaching adjustments to decrease the chance of a fumble. In a close game if you're leading, it's often better to run the clock and punt than risk stopping the clock with a questionable deep pass. Look for open receivers even if you have to take a loss on the play. However, because throwing an incomplete pass will stop the clock and make your job harder, you'll want to be sure you can complete it. If it's 3rd and 5 or more, or if you just want to mix up your playcalling, you may want to give a pass a try. The problem with calling nothing but running plays is that the defense will expect it. Whatever you do, do not run out of bounds. That way you have plenty of grass between yourself and the sideline.
For example, if you're on the left hash mark, run right if you're on the right hash mark, run left. If you have a speedy runningback, you can call plays to the left or right, but try to run to the open side of the field to give yourself more room. Running up the middle is “safe” but you usually won't get too many yards out of it. The basic strategy is to call nothing but running plays. Your goal here is to burn as much time as possible to force the defense into a position of no chance to come back. This is the best position to be in: you control the ball and the clock. The proper way to manage the clock at the end of the game will depend on whether you're on offense or defense, and whether you're leading or trailing in score.
