So this year instead of playing straight online games, I made a vow to try the other game modes out!
Started with Superstar, I have a pretty cool QB and it's fun. Not as addicting as MLB 08 Superstar Mode, but it's cool!
For Franchise, what settings do you guys use to get real stats? I played a few preseason games messing with the clock time (5 - 7 minutes) and am having some trouble getting realistic stats. How much time per quarter do you Franchise Veterans all use?

6 or 7 minutes. Depends on how much u care about stats, 7 would be best, but the one i'm playing is 6. I'm in the Super Bowl against the Colts with a 12-4 record on all madden level with the Saints. The only stat category that bothered me was running offense. I split time between McCallister and Bush, neither got even close to 1000 yards. Probably averaged around 70-80 between them per game. Other than that the stats are realistic, even tackling is good compared to earlier maddens. Brees had over 3000 yards passing, and Colston had the 3rd most catches in the league. Most of my games were around 20 pts average per team. Realistic scores for the most part. funny thing is i was 4-4 then won the rest. Little bit of a learning curve i guess. Anyways, I would play 7 min quarters if u could still save in game, but since u cant i go 6. That way if it decides to freeze up in camera flying mode, I don't have to replay such a long game. You should really be able to save in game, i've had to start a few over b/c of freeze i guess i've been playing franchise since madden 95, tho it may have just been a season back then, can't really remember. I played some madden before that, but it was so unrealistic scoring wise, that i played super tecmo bowl seasons before 95 Man, I can still hear that injury music. Tragic, but I still love that song. Good luck. I'd say 6 is fine, unless you want 1500 yards rushing, then maybe u need 8 Although maybe with a good offensive line, and a bit more focus on the running game I think i could hit 1000. My run offense has been far better of late.

I play 6 mins and i have about 1200 yards rushing, but thats because its hard 7 mins gives you more accurate stats, i just hate playing that long...

Heh what team did you have? Just curious. If it was the niners and gore got all your carries I can definitely see 1200 That dude's insane on 09.

Cool! Thanks for the advice. I think I'll do 7 minute quarters then.
I just didn't want to get halfway through the year and half to restart or something due to the stats.
