Edit: BTW, I agree that EA should include the option to set the sim quarter length. I don't understand why they don't.

I've been saying that for a while. They've had sim length in the bball games for years, so why not football?

If not that, then at least give me an in-game save for NCAA like they have on Madden. I like realistic stats for my dynasties, but as you said, you have to make the games 1-2 hours long to get realistic stats, and I don't always have that much time to complete a game in one sitting. This is where the in-game save would come in handy. Then I could just come back and finish the game later. As it is, I have to leave the PS2 on if I want to finish my game later, and I hate doing that.

Plus, as you said, it takes forever to complete a season, which is why I end up simming half the games just so I can move on to the next season. I'd love to be able to play every game and still finish a season in a decent amount of time, but as it is right now, that's not possible. I'm either sacrificing time or realism, and I prefer realism. Guess I'm just goofy like that...
