Half Length Suggestion?

[tomzenns]

I usually play on the default 6 min half but was wondering if anyone would suggest a different half length to get some more "sim" style stats and scoring.

I play 10 mins and i'm pretty sure i've read lots of ppl saying they play 10 mins. You'll probably wan't to put it on slow speed to get the most accurate "sim" stats. I've also tried 15 mins and if you play more "realistic" (midfield controlling possession), you'll prob get real stats too.

I play 10 minutes on world class. It comes out pretty realistic.

Wow! 10 min :| I play 4 or 5 min half at World Class and the results are realistic, sometimes I win with 1-0,2-0,2-1 etc or draw or even lose . But Im just curious what kind of realistic stats are you guys looking for?

I interpret "realistic" stats as 5~15 shots on goal per team. 2~4 yellow cards (ehh, per team and/or total i suppose). And scores that are dependent on the teams playing. I.e. 3-0 or 4-1 is ok if it's an elite team vs. a scrub team, but maybe 1-0, 2-1 for evenly matched teams.

You really can score 2 goals in 8 total minutes all the time? On World Class? Man, I need some lessons! I'm a bit streaky. I've scored 6 goals one game (10 min halfs) then the next game i score 1 or 0. All depends on my competition/(un)luck of the CPU.

I play on 45 minute halves with stoppage time.

It's on you actually, some love to establish the play (10+ mins), some like just to play the game in 4 minutes, and some like me like to play 7-8 minutes per half in legend difficulty. It's pretty realistic if you know how to play FIFA like it should be played.

I took this suggestion (most likely yours) a few month back while I was playing FIFA WC and have not looked back. To me, as I have been learning a more build-up style of play, I find this setting ideal. When I was ignorant to the game the default of 6 minutes would suffice. The games typically involved me sprinting all over the pitch looking for breakaways and have players exhausted in the closing minutes of the match. Not anymore.
