I'm playing with 8 now..after trying 5,6,7...I get pretty close to the 120 play range..however some games are lower due to the TOP by the CPU Team.

10min....i wanna increase the Quarter lengths so i can produce more tcks for my Defense but i don't want to inflate Offensive Production

Playing with 10 minute quarters, simming with 5. It seams as though we have the same problem as last year when simming on quarters greater than 5.

For everyone's benefit, I have included same key stats for a typical game based on the 2002-2003 season.

I also use this data as a general guideline when adjusting sliders.

Data is from the ESPN statistical site.

Plays Per Game: 63.61

Rushing (Per Team)

Passing (Per Team)

Completion %: 59.65%
Yards Per Attempt: 6.28
Yards Per Game: 212.23

Defense (Per Team)
Interceptions Per Game: 1.03
Sacks Per Game: 2.29

Thanks for the info.

I'll be using 9 minutes playing..and 4 minutes simming. And then will try to match it to the data.
