Reaction Time & Pass Cover Focus Thread
I am starting this thread because, I for one have developed a slight obsession with figuring these two sliders out to perfection. And would like to get a conversation going and tests compared into how many of the slider gurus came to the conclusions they have for these two sliders...
Reason is - I have heard so many variations of how these sliders work from any number of players, for example -
1. Pass reaction lower means faster reaction time.
2. Pass reaction Higher means faster reaction time.
3. Pass cover higher is tighter coverage
4. Reaction Time is used during zone coverage
5. Pass Cover is used during M2M coverage
Myself, any of these slider settings above 80 or below 20 do not seem to show a difference...
I also seem to see that the effect of pass cover and reaction time may be related in that you get overall tighter coverage when reaction time and pass cover is closer together on the slider scale. Thus a reaction time of 70 and a Pass Cover of 45 will be tighter than say a reaction time of 0 and a pass cover of 100..and vice-versa.....
anyway, it seems there are so many theories in so many different threads, and I am so obsessed with finding the true answer that I decided to try and consolidate all the theories and work towards a universal agreement on what these two sliders do...
These 2 sliders, if pinned down, could make it so much easier in setting pass/run blocking, QB acc and WR catch, etc...to reduce sacks and get a better, or more enjoyable gaming experience for each of us.
and I have found that the results in practice is not transferred as well to a real game; seems in practice you want coverage to appear looser as it seems to tighten up in game....I believe EA/Tiburon has made adjustments to player ratings in practice to represent a more casual atmosphere that may be present in practice compared to a game....
I also believe that as you set coverage and reaction based on a specific pass route, like an out route, it makes another route more open; sort of like a rock, paper, scissor thing (and this is while understanding that certain coverage schemes cover better against certain routes than others)....So I am guessing a list of most abused pass routes is needed - I believe drag routes are always open and over used, for example? Where flat routes are generally a waste of time unless you set tackling low enough that it gives you a chance to break away from the first tackler...
Thank you in advance t all who chose to participate and give their theories
