    5 Minute Quarters or More?

    I just got the game a week ago and started playing standard 5 minute quarters as I always have with Madden or NCAA. But for some reason this year, it feels like the game goes by pretty fast. I get between 30-35 offensive plays per game. Is this usual for 5 minute quarters? Anyone have some good suggestions for realistic stats and a game that takes on average an hour or so?
    Thanks!

    Try 10-12 minutes, I play 12 and seem to get a good number of plays, and a good stats.

      How much accelerated clock do you use?

        Down to 20 seconds which is a low as it goes.

          No its not. You can set it anywhere from 10-25 sec runoff.

            Yeh but it only runs down to 20 seconds left on the playclock. Even if you want it to run down to 15 seconds left, it only runs down to 20 seconds left.

              There is only the restriction of the runoff in offline franchises which is weird...

                I like 6 minutes with 20 seconds run-off. Enjoy 7 minutes with 20 seconds run-off.

                  Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Is the 20 second run off the default setting?

                    He should have said "You will see Kurt Warner come out of retirement. That's about it."

                      12 min quarters w/ 20 sec accelerated clock gives you a pretty realistic # of plays.

                        Yeh that gives you good numbers. Or I should say it gives me good numbers, it might change from person to person depending on how you play.

                          Just played two games with 7 minute quarters and got between 40-50 plays each game which is perfect for me and the game itself didn't take as long as I thought.
