15 min quarters - Simmed through 3 - Unrealistic stats?

[joejccva]

I'm trying to get as realistic as I can in my games with the stats, and I'm looking for some feedback as to if I should always play 15 min quarters simming the first half and possibly also 3rd quarter or if I should play 10 min quarters.

The BOLD stat is the one I'm thinking is a bit unrealistic, but i guess it COULD be correct. I know it was against the Browns (sorry Browns fans), but still.

Created coach of Dallas Cowboys, Used default playbooks.

Thats it. I appreciate all your input on this game, and your thoughts on if I should keep 15 min quarters, and just sim through 2 of them or 3 of them, etc...or lower quarters to 10 and play the game?

Thanks!

I don't see it as unrealistic at all. 9 receptions for 192 yards is 21.3 yards per catch. So Owens went deep all day. So what?

I guess it's pretty damn realistic lol....I think I found the perfect settings. This was a pretty rough game and McNabb made some incredible passes. Westbrook made a diving catch one 1 play....awesome.

Yeah, I'd like to know also. A dumb question, but why are sliders in this game if all we do is coach?

Your first game against the Browns was likely the result of Cleveland's horrid secondary. I played a Coach Now game as the Browns and Chad Pennington went up and down the field on me like he was Montana. Their defense is really really bad.
