If you use the Ask Corso feature and do minimal adjustments, go with 7

If you pick your own plays and do a normal rate of pre play adjustments go with 8-9.

I use 8 minute quarters. I originally started off with 15 minute quarters, but after my very first game in my dynasty where I ended up rushing for close to 300 yards and passing for over 500, I decided 8 minutes was more realistic.

Now it takes most of the game to put out about a little over 200 yards using multiple backs and I generally pass the ball about 180 to 260 yards a game depending on game conditions.

9 minute quarters should give you between 130-145 plays depending on # of runs, adjustments, etc.

I was using 8 minutes, but was only getting about 120-125 and that is just short of the # of plays I wanted and what the simulation engine produces in dynasty mode.

8 to 9 is what I've been using. Depending on how long you take to snap the ball. Taking my time and not snapping early = 9 minutes. Just wish the CPU would take a few more seconds off clock...
