How Long Are Your Quarters?

[hioh631]

In previous seasons I would play 9 min quarters. I haven't played this year's enough to know what I'll end up settling on.

If you play on simulation, you pretty much have to play 12 min quarters to get realistic stats. So I usually play 12.

After playing a bunch of games, I realized 8 minute quarters yield the most realistic results because the pace of the game results in about 80-90 FGA's for each team, which is the same as games in real life.

12 minute quarters produce very high scores. Sure, you're scoring 120 points, but is it impressive when it takes you 110 field goal attempts to reach it?

Re: How Long Are Your Quarters?

All of you guys who say you are getting 120 points a game, are you playing on simulation or default, because I have been playing 12 min simulation games and have gotten no where near that in any of the games I have played.

I score around 80-110ish depending on who I play against and my strategy.. I play on superstar with custom sliders

I meant to say I play 8 minute quarters, and my sliders are basically a mix between sim and default.. I take the things I like from each of them and what seems to be the most realistic to me

What's the main difference between Simulation and Default? I looked at the sliders for Simulation and I noticed only a few things were tweaked such as 3 Point success, close and inside shot success, and others.

There isn't a ton of difference, mostly defensive and game play sliders such as the amount of contact and fouls and what not

8 min is perfect for me. Takes about 45 min. 12 is too long in the video game world.

Online Quick Match has a pretty fast pace, and even then with 5 minute quarters most scores are in the 60s or 70s. If they were 8 minute quarters, those games would be in the 90s and 100s, and that's with shooting a high percentage and playing with a fast pace. So 8 mins is most realistic.

45 Mins Max I'd say. 32 mins of actual game time, and if you include free throws and timeouts the game should be over within 40-45 minutes.

How are your sliders with 8 minute quarters? I have 3 point difficulty at 42 and mid range at 48. Changed some other things but I can't remember.

Re: How Long Are Your Quarters?

If I play solo I usually do 12 minutes. If I am playing with friends over LIVE we usually do 5.

I play on Sim sliders and All Star difficulty and scoring is fine.

Re: How Long Are Your Quarters?

Hey RD28....
What sliders are you using ? I know you stated that you use your own..... you mind sharing?

not at all. here u go

ALL-STAR 12 Min
simulation/custom
(The numbers are for both CPU and user unless noted)
inside shot 45
close shot 45
mid range 47
3pt 49 (cpu 48)
layup 50
dunk in traffic frequency 35
dunk in traffic success 50
pass accuracy 50
alley oop 50
contact shot success 45

Defense
Help Defense 55


ATTRIBUTES
Player Speed 47
offensive rebounding 40
defensive rebounding 60
fatigue 56

this is my base right now. ill probably will be tweaking the rebounding sliders soon.

on default everything is on 50. on Simulation the sliders are tweaked to resemble a more real life game. the contact sliders are pushed up 100, the foul sliders are bumped up as well to get fouls. and like u mentioned, the offensive sliders are brought down a little as well.

basically default is a mixture of arcade and sim.
