Most realistic quarter setting ?

[dubvcrazy]

It seems that when I play on 8 minute quarters that the scores are way too high (ie. just played Marshall with WVU and won 73-57 with 8 minutes) but the play count is more realistic. But on 7 minute quarters scores are more realistic and play count isnt. I'm getting ready to try out 7 minute quarters with fast game speed, to maybe get more snaps in. Just wondering which quarter setting everyone uses and which one everyone thinks is the most realistic. Thanks!

I'm playing 9 min quarters with Fist's Varsity set. My last two games have been a 9-6 loss and a 31-27 loss.

9 minutes gives me correct number of snaps.

Have to agree with previous 2 posters. I play 9 as well. Lowest scoring game was 17-16, highest was 52-45. Good mix.

Maybe it's just where I play with WVU in dynasty and Big 12 teams just dont have defenses. Score to my most recent game was 66-55. Lowest scoring game I've had was 41-37.

Yep...9 minutes here also. It gives me anywhere between 118 to 140 snaps, depending on the type of opponent I'm playing. I've had 17-7 games, and I've had 42-40 games.

9 minute quarters????? How do you not score 100 pts routinely???

6 minute quarters for me

I think 42-40 and a recent 57-31 loss are my highest scoring games and there were by far anomalies. I play balanced on offense and do not run any no-huddle, so maybe that's the difference.

Here are my game play settings:


Gameplay Difficulty Level: Heisman

Quarter Length: 9 minutes

Gameplay Speed: Normal

Gameplay Sliders: CPU QB Accuracy, WR Catching, RB Ability, Rush Defense, Pass Coverage and Tackling all turned up to 80. HUM Interceptions turned down to 25.

Penalty Sliders: Offsides turned down to 25, False Start turned down to 40, Holding turned up to 55, Facemask turned down to 10, Clipping turned up to 60, Roughing the Passer turned down to 10, and Roughing the Kicker turned down to 10. Everything else set to default.

These are my game results from this past season (yr 2, UAB):
