How long are your quarters and how are your players comparing to the rest of the leag

The 153 would be all plays: Offensive Plays, plus Punts, PAT Attempts, Kickoffs, etc.

Those plays are offensive snaps only it appears. I just picked a couple of random teams off the list and then went and looked at their average rush attempts and pass attempts per game and they were all within 1.0 of the total plays per game. Considering all teams pretty much punt between 3-5 times per game, for it to match within 1 seems like it may be excluding punts at the very least.

I haven't yet tested, but last year I tried to get as many plays per game as the simmed stats, rather than NFL, although they were pretty close. In general, simming seasons resulted almost exactly 120 offensive plays per game (sometimes 119). I got pretty close with 10 min. no accel. clock. But i had a very high completion percentage, as did the CPU. There are more incomplete passes this year, it seems. So I'm thinking I may go down to 8 or 9 minute quarters, no accelerated clock. But I haven't experimented yet.

Sounds like your problem is more that you and the cpu rarely have to punt the ball and are scoring nearly every drive. Find a way to increase 3 and outs and punts and your stats will be a lot more realistic. You may need to use house rules to limit yourself which sucks.

Yeah. I hate house rules. I just had a great game against the Raiders. 12 min acc clock 15 sec and I lost 28-24 on default all madden. Only change I made was changing the speed parity to 95. I’m going to roll with this. I had two defensive stops in the 4th Qtr but my offense just couldn’t score to win it in the end. IMG_1043.jpg

Now these stats might be a little high but I can live with it.

I’ve been running 15 mins 14 run off.

Suprisingly I’ve done a fantastic job at keeping everything from getting wonky.

Plays are ranging from 65-76 plays per team

I was super impressed in 2 games I’ve held the cpu to 13 points or less.



Punt the ball, make them punt the ball. My only house rule typically is play as they would play in real life. If I have a 10 point lead and ball in my territory 4th & short and I know I could cheese a freebie first down to extend drive. Coaches aren’t doing that. Punt the ball play field position and control momentum.

Long winded but 15 mins w 14 run off work well. And I actually try to build methodical drives. Each drive I have a goal of atleast 8 plays.

Unless the stars align pre- snap and maybe a play I called looks like big shot vs coverage.

12 and 15 is perfect imo

I also try to have long ball controlling drives. I wish the AI would operate this way and try to establish the run a bit more.

Also switching to 95 speed threshold made a huge difference and I won’t be going back. Fast players are still fast but they aren’t breaking wide open like before. I loved it.
