I know that its WAY early to even know what the sliders will be...but what will be the time limit to NFL... will it be 8 minutes just like hockey!!!!
Re: another Question 8 min? well there are 4 qrts instead of 3 periods. I think lat said 5min but i'm not 100% sure
From previous 2k series football 7min was about what could provide some realistic rushing and passing stats but did not come anywhere close to the real field goal or punting stats. That was at Pro difficulty before which is probably what Season 1 will have to be based on and maybe go to All-Pro for Season 2 depending on the game play anyways.
I know with my Madden PC leagues, we use 7 or 8 minute quarters and that generally yields about 60 plays for each team (which is around the NFL average). I think the first season might only be 5min quarters though, and not sure on the sliders either. Latdogg will have to look at that stuff, but there will be a few weeks of practice for us to get a feel for the game before anything concrete is setup.
