Yeah the average amount of plays that each team get per game is usually around 60-65. You usually get around 80-90. Some of that is due to the poor clock management of the CPU but they been getting close to 55-65 plays a game on you also. The total amount of plays per game combined for both teams in the NFL is around 120-130. You probably need to drop your game clock down another minute. I don't know why you won't play with the accelerated clock. It kind of helps balance the games out. Then you can play with the game clock higher anywhere around 13-15 minutes depending on where you have it at..
