Playing Longer Quarters Equals Better Sim Experience?

[TarHeelPhenom]

It sounds like it n order to get the best sim experience, it's best to play longer quarters. That has to mean accelerated clock is in too right? To play 15 minute quarters with a regular play clock would take forever, as well as scoring would be out of hand.

Im looking forward to seeing how the game plays fresh out of the box for about a month, and then I'll be getting into sliders etc. Hopefully we'll have even more to play around with to tune the game towards the best sim experience

I would assume any options in Madden like accelerated clock, play call limits and cool downs, etc. are all going to be in CFB25.

I can't play for less than 15 minute quarters in football no more than I could play a 5 inning baseball game, so the key for me is to get the difficulty level and all sliders dialed in just right. Though a great thing about college football is it isn't unrealistic to go unbeaten and dominating your opponents in the process whereas in baseball if I won 75% of my games, I would quit the season and start again with a harder sliders setting. I'm also not opposed to accelerated clocks but I usually don't mind playing Madden with accelerated clocks OFF, if I have time to play a drawn out game.

With Madden, I do 90% Spectator Mode and 10% actually playing. So, I've always done 15 minute quarters with accelerated clock set at 12 seconds. I see myself playing the college game a whole lot more than I did Madden, and I want to play 15 minute quarters. So, having the accelerated clock feature will be key.

I mean it kind of makes sense that the closer you play to realistic quarter lengths, the more sim/real life the game would be, right ?

I don’t think this is anything alarming.

Not the intention of the post.

I've always felt that as long as you get the right amount of plays per game it doesn't matter what the quarter length or if accelerated clock is on or off.

Cant wait to see what you come up with!

Yes I would like to think it would but I also wouldnt overdue it.

I am going to start with 8 minute quarters and see if thats close to realistic, thats what im aiming for. The Wear and Tear system adds an interesting dynamic to this, I heard longer quarters affect players more than shorter quarters so thats something to keep in mind.

Exactly my thought. If we have @jkits on sliders we will definitely get the most realistic simulation college football experience that this game can provide.

Re: Playing Longer Quarters Equals Better Sim Experience?

This statement really interests me. I have always worried that if I played a full game, the final score I would score 80-100 points. If it is true that you get more balanced play with full quarters I am definitely going to be trying that.

Re: Playing Longer Quarters Equals Better Sim Experience?

I'm curious as well.

Been quite a while since I played NCAA or Madden - but I used to play 7 or 8 min qtrs with accelerated clock and I got a realistic number of plays in. I know nothing about play call limits and cool downs... not familiar with them... might need to google.

That's what I do. 10 minute quarters gets you in the 140 -- 150 total plays area (kickoffs, punts, field goals, runs, and passes for both teams). Last year's Oregon -- Liberty game had 138 plays, which is the lowest number of plays in the NY6 / playoffs last season. I believe Ole Miss -- Pen State had the most plays (164).

Re: Playing Longer Quarters Equals Better Sim Experience?

This past Madden I did 11 min quarters with some version of accelerated clock that I found from this site.

The latest madden (not sure how new) had a awesome setting where you can pick the max amount of times you can call a play (play limit). It also had a cool down so a certain amount of plays had to be called before you could call it again. People can still abuse it in a online setting if they want as similar plays can be found in other formations. It was useful for me offline especially on defense.

I'm curious as well.

Re: Playing Longer Quarters Equals Better Sim Experience?

In Madden I was getting realistic scores and statistics using 14 minute quarters with accelerated playclock that goes down to 20 seconds. I'll use that as a baseline when I start EASCF but I'll definitely be adjusting it to fit college pace.
