Amount of plays simmed CFM games?!

[AshTray]

So I have an offline 32 team CFM and the simmed games in the mode are consistently giving both teams a combined total of 90-105 plays per game. I'm pretty sure that number should be more like 120-135 give or take. I have no problems getting the right amount of snaps in games I play, but this is going to definitely hurt realistic league stats over the course of the franchise.... any help?

i dont sim but i use 9 min qtrs with no run off, i get between 110 and 135 per game, but ill check cpu vs cpu

I've tried messing with sliders and time settings before simming games... always seem to get average of 90-100 plays a game... wondering if everyone else is getting the same

I've been working on Frosty edits to improve SimStats so have had a chance to get under the hood.

OP is right - the SimStat engine generates less plays per game then there should be - I make it around 58 plays per team, which is 4 to 5 too few.

It is fixable in Frosty by changing the values for PlayTime - I have changed the spotball max/min times to get around 62.5 plays a game per team each.

Not an option for non PC users though.

Once I get my final set of edits I will be trying to contact Clint and give him my recommended settings.

Through some minimal testing I'm noticing 110 to be the average per simmed game. Anywhere from 105-115 usually. 50-60 plays per team.

In a default 6 minute quarters/20 sec runoff game there was a total of 72 plays. In a 24 minute game, 72 plays is 3 plays per minute. To add to this, in just over 10 minutes of T.O.P. I had 31 plays in my test game. So 3 plays per minute seems accurate. Knowing this...

6 minute Qtrs/24 minutes - 72 total plays/36 per team

8 minute Qtrs/32 minutes - 96 total plays/48 per team

9 minute Qtrs/36 minutes - 108 total plays/54 per team

10 minute Qtrs/40 minutes - 120 total plays/60 per team

So if the average simmed game has around 105-115 total plays, 9 minute quarters would appear to be the closest. Remember this is with a 20 second runoff.

Are all of these assuming there’s a 20 second acc play clock?

Yes, all with a 20 second runoff

Were you running supersim from within a game?

Changing the quarter length from Settings makes no difference to the season wide number of plays which are generated when running an entire season.

I just ran another test (using SABO's latest mod v1.1) - the number of plays (pass attempts, rush attempts & sacks) added up to 30,125 plays.

That works out at 941 a team or 58.8 a game. This is 4 plays a game too low.

AFAIK the only way to fix this is via Frosty. Or the devs of course.
