I'm playing 12 minute quarters. I've tried 13 to but, from my experience 13 results in too many plays. It normally takes me a little over an hour to complete a game. I should also note that I take my time on offense picking plays, audibling, hot routing, etc. I usually let the play clock run down to about 5-8 seconds before snapping the ball. Well, unless I'm behind, of course. Also, the CPU doesn't really use up that much of the play clock so, a User will almost always have a better TOS than the CPU.

LOL I can see that trades aren't very realistic still. The Cardinals wouldn't trade Campbell straight up for Grant. Nor would they trade a 2nd round pick for him. But, in Madden, they'll trade Campbell and a first! LOL!!!!

R.grant for a 4th sounds fair ..that's what I would go for

Maybe I was just super persuasive

BTW I got that trade by putting Ryan Grant on the block for a DE 80+ or a 2013 1st round pick. I was surprised when I got that offer and saw that the pick was involved too.

Started a franchise as the browns. Won my 1st game vs. The Bengals. I have a real mess at WR. Massaquoi's out for the year and Robiskie out for a another week. I might have to sign a free agent receiver or trade a third or a fourth round pick for one. I plan on taking a rg and a rt in the firdt two rounds of the draft, as that seems like. My teams only big need. I did not make any big trades.
