Player speed parity scale

[PsychedelicTrip]

I've been experimenting with this slider. I've currently got it set at 25 with the Heisman sliders I'm using and it's like playing a brand new game. The animations and player movements are way better. After multiple games I haven't seen anymore bad pursuit angles. Defensive players react and attack to the ball. I might try going lower, to see how the game plays at 20, but right now 25 is absolutely amazing. I can share the sliders I'm using if anyone wants to try them out.

From my perspective PSPS affects all the other sliders in game. CPU QB will scramble, he'll throw bad passes, he'll throw balls out of bounds, Wrs will drop passes without contact, etc. Nothing egregious, the gameplay feels natural. Hard to explain. Experience it for yourself.

I use 25 as well. I play on varsity and only just call plays for defense. I agree it unlocks alot of gameplay. For me there are certain plays on offense that just never work because the defense was too fast to the edge. Things like outside zone runs would never work. The return game plays alot better, much more dynamic. QB Scrambling is also big and just QB run game in particular. Basically, it makes players playing in space exciting like it should be as in real life. Without it, you have Defensive lineman running everything down

Re: Player speed parity scale

Do you use any sliders on varsity or just change the speed parity?

I haven't played anything but All American and Heisman, haven't tried speed scale at 25 on All American. 90% of my games have been on Heisman and I think that's where I'll be staying.

You can try it on Varsity, just lower the scale to 25.

Same for CPU and Human

QB - 8
Pass block - 32
WR - 40
Run Block - 55
Fumbles - 22
Reaction time - 95
Int - 38
Pass Cov - 95
Tackling - 35

FG power - 25
FG Acc - 30
Punt power - 60
Punt Acc - 100
Kickoff - 75

Injuries - 55
Fatigue - 74
Speed Threshold - 25

12 min quarter, 12 sec accelerated clock

Penalties
Offside 70
False Start 85
Holding 53
Face mask 85
DPI 99
Block in the back 55

I'm still experimenting with FGs not sure the power slider even works. On short FGs from a hash with a sharp angle I've seen the CPU miss alot of those but at the same time they are hitting a high percentage Tage of 50+ yard FGs.

Penalties are lower than the average. Be careful with holding. If you raise it they call holding on a high percentage of outside runs. To the point that those plays are not even worth calling. If you want more Penalties I recommend increasing false starts and offsides. You'll still get the occasional holding 1 or 2 a game, but it's not stupid high.

Run block was also an interesting one. I noticed outside zone getting stuffed everytime when I had it too low. I went into practice mode and played with it until outside zone would work. It also is not making inside zone overpowered but if you play a light box it goes as expected.

I'm having a blast with these

Re: Player speed parity scale

Does this slow the game down a lot?

No. The speed threshold just increases the difference between say a 90 speed WR and a 60 speed DT. If you increase the threshold there's not as much difference in speed.

So basically EA doesn't know how to calibrate the motion on its own game.

I am going to give this a try because right now I am ready to quit this game.
The reason is because what is the point of trying to make the playoffs if the CPU is virtually unstoppable for large stretches of the game.

I played the Miami FSU game in my dynasty and could not stop FSU at all. My DB's would drop back in zone and still get burned by deep passes. I would think that increasing the speed parity would stop that but I think you are on to something. They don't have the game calibrated right in the first place.

Reducing the PSPS might be the answer because I am not insane enough to think that the sliders are going to all work in a perfect rhythm anyways. I discovered that playing the NHL series. The sliders don't work in numerical rhythm like we all think.

25 might be the zero point where everything works in perfect order. I am willing to try it. Otherwise I have wasted 70$.

I play on All American and from my perspective that is just as tough as Heisman.

I thought the passing game on AA and Heisman was just too overpowered. Varsity allowed for defense

I want to use these to see if they work.

How is the QB play with the accuracy at 8?

It's great. You get inaccuracy. Lower rated QBs will struggle more against good defenses and on the road. You get variability. A good example with my Rice QB who is an 80 overall Junior.

I played SMU at home, rivalry game. SMU is a better team for sure. It turned into a shootout. He threw for 400+ and we won in overtime 40-37. The SMU QB also had a great game, he was an 88 overall.

Then we played a slightly lower rated UH team on the road. Another rivalry game. Nothing worked, they shut us down. I think he threw for around 200 and had a pick. We lost 17-3. UH QB had about 270.

I've seen good QBs struggle and mediocre QBs have great games. The variability game to game is great.

That might be the solution to the QB problem. I can deal with good CPU play but even the best QB has to adjust to coverage.

Increasing the pass coverage to 95 should help. I am willing to give this a try.

Tighter coverage and less accuracy should stop the overpowering pass game.

As long as my DB's are reacting to the WR movements then I am all for it. They take bad angles and then react too slow. 95 reaction time also seems like a good idea as well.
