Can you play 12 minute quarters without being frustrated out of your mind?

This basically means how shooting happy the CPU is.

So will I cry playing the game looking at the CPU shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot with the play clock almost always in the 15-20 range (or a bit less but too high anyway)?

Unlike ESPN, in Live they actually look for the open man & pass the ball around pretty realistic.. I played 8 minutes on starter & got great stats, minus my 11 blocks which can be reduced via sliders.. On all star, 12 minute quarters seems like a must for me to get 80-100 points..

play on all star with pareds slider brilliance & you'll get a great sim experience..

hmm... points aren't really the thing that defines if you play realistically. Field goal attempts is the most important stat in basketball games. Everything else is negotiable but FGs attempted by the CPU HAS to be right. It has to be in the range of 75-85. This stat is so directly connected to everything that happens in a game (points, rebounds, everything).

Can I get the CPU to shoot the right number of shots with pared's or somebody else's sliders playing 12 minute quarters?

I'll play a game with 12 minute quarters & see how many FG attemps the CPU takes.. I will be playing on all star using a modified version of pared sliders..

The CPU usally doesn't shoot with less than 10 seconds of the clock, so at least the 14.

I actually think ball movement is one of the things espn does better than live.
Looks like real b-ball.

You tested the 12 minute q game, koolbubba?

I'm in the minority cause I feel rushed if I play anything under 11 minute quarters. Everything just feels so much better when you play "real" games.

Anybody else got anything about being able to play 12 minutes quarters?

No, the CPU will work the clock.

I use 10 mins qrtrs. 11 and 12 are just WAY too high, IMO. FGA's per team are spot on.
