Programmed for 15 min Quareters?

[BadAssHskr]

I'm probably reaching here as i'm only in my 3rd preseason game, which i also have turned down to 6 min quarters to play through them.

Anyhow, i doing so, it really seems like my possessions are kind of few and far between. If i happen to be kicking at the opening of the game, there are times when the cpu has the ball the majority of the first quarter, which eliminates my starters from playing that game.

Then lets assume 3 and out. basically, i'm not having much opportunity to get my offense really going.

I don't need to adjust my sliders, as i'm happy here, and i'm not complaining about the cpu playing me to tough, just seems that the game is playing way fast or something.

Coming from NCAA an 8 min quarter game was my sweet spot, lasted about 1½ hours, and really felt good.

Laying in bed i just got to thinking, is this programmed specifically for a full game? How long is that taking you to play out?

I really don't want to go below 20 sec runoff, however i don't want to be in a 2 hour game each night either.

I play with 15 min quarters with 15 play clock and games last about 1hour to 1.5 hours. If not willing to go below 20 play clock I would say the sweet spot for the right about of plays would be 12-13 min quarters.

Looman seems to think that they get realistic NFL-like stats at 7 min quarters...

I play on 12 minute with 25 sec acc clock takes me around an hr depending if u have long drives like 12 or more plays but if u score pretty fast it seem's like it can drag on forever.

i'm thinking about going from 20 to 25 on my runoff. is that doing anything screwy to T.O.P in the games?

not from what I've seen useally depending on if one teams keeps ball longer TOP is almost around same useally one team will have around 10 other 12 or so.... unless like I said if u have every drive be 12 or more plays then of course one side will be way higher then other.

I do 14 minutes with 11 acc clock and average 124 plays a game. Game also finishes in about 35-40 minutes.

I run 15 min 12 sec runoff and average 120-130 a game
