Yeah guys, you can lower the minutes by 1 or two per half or better yet, drop the offensive abilities of both cpu and user a bit.
And for gmac I had the same issue when I first started playing this game. I found that if you hold off turbo you have a less chance of turning the ball over in the paint. You also don't want to be turbo blasting in the paint with a big man. Basically with big men just do your post moves, which many are a few dribbles and that's it. It kind of keeps you honest and forces you to run your offense like in real life.
I'm posting a box score of a game I played yesterday. It was using a slightly modified version of the roster file I have available online for download. This one started with Mizzou taking a huge lead on me in the first half. Then I crept back in going into the half. I took control with a run midway through the 2nd half. Once I went up about 9 or ten I started running clock with about 4 or 3:00 min to go where I would not get into my offense until about the 15-18 second mark. Mizzou scored some late points on FTs and clutch shooting to keep me from blowing them out. Here is the box score:
