Quarter Length

What's the consensus on what quarter length produces the more realistic stats? I tend to call me plays pretty fast.

Re: Quarter Length

I use 9, but I take my time on both offense and defense.

6-7 would probably be best if you call your plays pretty quickly.

Re: Quarter Length

Yeah on the 360 I use 9 and can get about 25-32 passes and 20-30 runs. That also accounts for the fact that on almost every play the CPU runs the play closk tounder 10 seconds before the snap.

Re: Quarter Length

I'm on current gen and if you turn off the automatic replay 7-minute quarters work just fine. Buster Davis (my IP at LB) is 3rd in the ACC in tackling. I mention this because tackling is normally a stat the suffers. He's got about 39 tackles through 7 games and the leader has 43...I think!

Re: Quarter Length

If you take your time on offense and defense, 9 minutes will get you about 60 plays per game. 10 minutes will get you 70, but I always have high scoring games with 10 minute quarters so I've stuck with 9.

The real ncaa average is 70 plays.

Re: Quarter Length

if i play 7 mins i can get a realistic amount of plays in (360) b/c i call plays fast...but i usually just play 6 mins b/c 7 min games seem to take forever..with 6 min quarters i get prob about 15-20 less plays, but i enjoy myself and thats all that matters

Re: Quarter Length

I play 4 minute quarters and get about 40-50 plays in unless I'm beating the crap out of a team then I don't get hardly any plays in b/c I score so quickly. I have been scoring between 21-56 points a game on heisman mode with 4 minute quarters. I'm thinking about bumping it up to 5 minute quarters but I don't wanna see 98-84 scores.
