This isn’t about turning up the difficulty—it’s about realism. This set creates:

• 15-minute quarters

• Full CPU vs CPU gameplay

🧢 Why This Slider Set Works for Franchise GMs

Most slider sets use shorter quarters, which skew stats after simming games. This approach requires watching every game, so the engine generates stat lines that feel right, year after year. Ideal for users wanting a true league experience—not arcade play.
