15 minute quarters with 25 sec accelerated clock

[Deegeezy]

I got the game 4 days early and all I was doing was testing sliders and clock time and 15/25 I got the best results

100% agreed.... 15/25 is the way to go. Guaranteed to get between 118-130 every single game.

here's a recap of my game vs the Ravens with said settings on 15 min /25 AC

First Quarter

Ravens start the game with a drive to my 40, a sack kills the drive and they punt. Bengals drive to midfield, forced to punt. Ravens score 7 on this drive (11 plays, 74 yards 5:27) highlighted by a 40 yard strike to Mason and 15 yard facemask penalty by Rivers, Flacco to Clayton from 10 yards out. Bengals get a first down on 3 plays, ball on own 37 and that's the quarter.

7-0 Ravens

-So far, nothing like the high scoring game in Cleveland last week where it was 21-7 Browns at the quarter. Which is typical of a Bengals/Browns game anyways.


Second Quarter

Bengals score 2 minutes into the quarter, Palmer hits Ochocinco for 52 yards on a slant where Reed pinched in for the INT, but I managed to get into front of him with CJ and then went untouched. (7 plays, 72 yards, 2:51) 7-7. Ravens starting to drive, but McGahee fumbles on his own 41, Bengals recover. Ravens challenge and it's overturned. Ravens continue to march and get a FG after being stopped inside the 5 on 3rd and 3. (11 plays 54 yards 6:21 - Also they had 4 plays for about 15 yards and 1-2 minutes prior to the fumble which wasn't included in that total) 10-7 Ravens. Bengals get stopped at the Raven 45 after a promising drive was stopped by a dropped pass, punt and touchback. Ravens try to run 3 times and come up inches short, punt returned to CIN 46, 1 minute to go in half. Interception at Ravens 36 by Foxworth. Flacco throws up a hail mary that's intercepted by Crocker. Halftime.

Tough to score against the Ravens, that was a slick play to Ochocinco but outside of that I've not been able to do much.

Halftime Stats

Flacco 12/15 143yds 1/1
Palmer 8/14 125yds 1/1

McGahee 19 - 71yds
Watson 6 - 11yds
Benson 3 - 10yds

Henry 3- 32yds
Mason 3- 52yds
Clayon 3 - 42yds 1TD
Ochocinco 2 - 74yds 1TD


Third Quarter

Bengals start off on their 27. 3 Rushes by Benson - 9 yards and Punt. Ravens start on their 25. Ravens scratch and claw into the Redzone, but Flacco's 3rd down run falls short and they settle for 3. (13 Plays 63 yards 7:06) 13-7 Ravens. Touchback, Bengals start on the 20. Bengals get one first down via the run but a diving swat by Washington and pressure by Lewis force a punt. Ravens start on their 38. Heap with a 34 yard catch and McGahee punishing away, Ravens at the Bengals 9, 3rd and 1 at the end of the quarter.

13-7 Ravens

About to abandon the run entirely, can't sustain drives with it and passing has been tough enough. Need a stop here!

Fourth Quarter


McGahee gets stuffed by inches and is hurt on the play, FG is just wide from 30 yards out. Bengals start on the 20. Bengals drive the field and take the lead on a 2 yard TD pass to Utecht. A dropped INT by Reed ended up being costly here, it was easy and he should have had it. (11 plays, 80 yards 7:04). Bengals lead 14-13 with 8 minutes to go. Ravens get just inside the 50 but a big stop on 3rd down by Rivers on a screen play (me!) and they have to punt...touchback 5 minutes left. A pass interference keeps the drive alive after a 3rd down incompletion..another first via Watson on the ground and the Bengals are chewing clock. Opened my mouth too soon, Watson loses a fumble and the Ravens recover on the Bengal 42. Flacco hits Heap from 19 yards out, TD Ravens. (4 plays 36 yards 1:36). Go for two but fail on a run. Bengals have 3 timeouts, 1:26 to go from their 31. Ed Reed with the INT at the Bengal 41, didn't see him lurking underneath. 3 runs and 3 timeouts shuts down the Ravens but a 50 yard FG makes the lead 22-14 with 1:00 to go. Big pass to Henry for 50 yards down the sidelines to the Ravens 5 with just 20 seconds to go, Bengals hurry to the line and get off a quick play, TD pass to Ochocinco in the flats. Palmer tries to hit Coles on a quick slant for two, the ball is there but it's broken up by Foxworth and that's the ball game.

Ravens 22 - Bengals 20.

Another game where I feel that the CPU passing game gained a few too many yards easily despite me being the shitty Bengals. The CPU has had very high completion percentages against me with Quinn and Flacco. Gonna look at correcting this. Probably going to make it a lil bit tougher for me to gain yards through the air too. The CPU has very very few drops at this point, just 1 in both the CLE and BAL games. That should help my issues as well by increasing that a touch. I'm getting 3-6 drops a game which is fine with me.

Either way it wasn't like the Cleveland game and was more of a struggle to score, which was nice.


Flacco 22/29 301yd 2/1
Palmer 18/30 262yd 3/2

McGahee 32 - 108yd
Benson 13 - 35yd
Watson 10 - 21yd

Clayton 5 - 68yd 1TD
Henry 4 - 71yd
Ochocinco - 4 - 91yd 2TD
Mason 4 - 66yd
Heap 3 - 78yd 1TD


I'm going to boost both pass rushes as I should be amongst the most sacked in the league and more pressure against the CPU QB should reduce some passing yard totals and probably lower scoring a touch too which I'd like. That's really my biggest concern at this point but most other facets of the game seem to be working. I should have been sacked, it was the Ravens after all, though I was probably hit 5-7 times when throwing and was rushed most of the time.




I'll update again when I'm deeper into my season and have a few more games at similar settings. Gonna make some small changes now and ride them out for 4-5 games.


Hopefully this helps you guys get some good games yourself.
