Sim Quarter length

[blueduke]

I am currently in a season using 11 minute quarters. In games that are simmed, what is a sim quarter length that will bring realistic stats?

5 mins seems good. the tackles and passing stats get screwed tho.

theres like 10 qb's with 4000+ yards passing.

4 minutes per quarter gives you the average number of plays run per game.

I play 12 minute quarters and sim on 4 ,minute quarters. Works great for the correct number of plays compared to the real NFL.

I compared last years leaders in the individual categories to the leaders in 2k4 this is what I got

NFL Stat Leaders last year

Yards Passing

K Collins 4073
Culpepper 3853
Farve 3658
Brooks 3572

ESPN 2k4

Manning 4394
Warner 4066
Bledsoe 4049
Culpepper 4011
McNabb 4010

Warner Culpepper and McNabb were all injured last year so no telling if they could throw for 4000.

Rushing
NFL Leading Rushers

R. Williams 1853
LT 1683
P. Holmes 1615
C. Portis 1508

ESPN 2k4
R. Williams 1442
F. Taylor 1363
T. Henry 1354
C. Portis 1336

Pretty Close missing about 20 to 30 attempts off the actual carry attempts.

NFL LEaders
WR Receptions
Harrison 143 record breaking season
Ward 112
Moss 106
Moulds 100

ESPN 2k4
Harrison 90
Toomer 90
Price 81
Ward 80

Harrison won't put up 143 again but I think these numbers are off a little cause the Pass attempts are off by like 8 or 10

Now the whole reason for 4 mins was the crazy tackles being put up.

NFL Tackle Leaders

Thomas 156
Urlacher 152
Fletcher 149

ESPN 2k4
Spikes 195-27 AST= 168
N. Wayne 179-16 AST= 163
Arrington 179-27 AST= 162

Not as bad as the 200 or 300 hundred I heard about
