On NFL 2k3, I played at 8 minute quarters, but simmed the other games at 5-minute quarters. This has been the recommended length (5 min) to sim games, according to Sega's own website. The sim engine was based on 5 minute quarters.

I am a 2k fan through and through. No better football game on the market. BUT...Madden's sim engine is just about perfect, no matter what length of quarter you play. This is one area I sincerely hope ESPN gets right this year. You should not have to adjust simmed quarter length to get accurate stats.
