7 day sims are perfect in my opinion. Simming a week at a time allows you to stop on a natural ending point (calendar week),

Longer sims make it harder to utilize the disabled list effectively.

The pace may be slower than other leagues use but one thing it has done for the USBA as it has helped foster a lot of involvement in writing articles and allowing team owners to contribute regular "columns" for the enjoyment of everyone in the league. When you sim 15 days (or more) at once, time is passing so quickly in the league that writing articles and team reports almost becomes pointless since they become very dated within a few days (by the next sim). It’s worked great in the USBA and has helped it become the most active online league I have ever seen in regards to articles and columns from the team owners.
