Madden 24 Speed Threshold/ Parity instead of Slideritis

[skillz25]

I remember back in Madden 20, one of the key settings was the speed threshold/parity setting. The default was 50, but the Madden developers did an update and recommended changing this to 75. Increasing this number would minimize the gap that a fast player would have against a slow player over a long distance run. Ultimately, this fixed mostly all the issues with animations, players warping, or defenders "magically" lunging to close the gap between WR's who had 3-5 yards separation.

With this one change, I was able to play on the All Madden level with all default sliders except for the speed threshold. I bought Madden 22 and did the same thing.

Now with Madden 24 coming out, I know a lot of people will be going through tons of slider changes to get that "perfect" feel that they are looking for. But before doing so, I STRONGLY recommend to change this one setting first and leaving all other sliders at default. You will be surprised at how this one simple change "fixes" everything.

You're welcome in advance!

Played at 75 in Madden 23 as well as the 24 Beta. That'll definitely be the speed threshold of choice. Having it on default in the Beta made the gameplay way too wide open producing college type scores.

What's the theory on reaction time for defense? Bc I've always thought of a lower reaction time, would cause defense to have more penalties? I've got a love/hate relationship with EASPORTS as many franchise Sim guys for this reason lack of penalties. I'd also love if defensive holding was put back in the game as a slider and had an effect.

Same sentiment here except I use 95. Default 50 is way too wide open for me. A higher threshold aids the defense in many areas which is desperately needed with how imbalanced the game is by default.

I settled on 95 in M23 but for M24 I always go default 50 AM across the board as I never know if they have tuned things properly on default settings.

Re: Madden 24 Speed Threshold/ Parity instead of Slideritis

I've always been confused by the settings.

I play on All Pro and I keep my threshold on 1. Anything higher than even 10, what I see is the AI defenders running step for step with my receivers no matter what. Forget about lobbing a deep pass down the side line, forget about throwing that post route... the AI always wins the match up.

What am I missing?

Oh my!! ...I could never imagine the amount of TD's I could throw the parity at 1.

I have been using 95 for quite some time now with great success, but I will say that I messed with the setting during the M24 beta moving it down to 75 as the cpu was covering my wr's a bit too good...and while it was OKay it just didn't have the same feel as 95 to me...what the issue was was that KP had no zip on the ball...so this led to several passes feeling floaty.

I've tried pretty much all "black magic voodoo" settings, and have found in my experience that 95 is EXACTLY what I'm looking for.

Honestly, if you're unable to hit these routes on any lowered threshold then I'd assume you're either not throwing them vs the proper coverage or you're throwing them late. Throwing late, especially on deeper passes, is a very common thing in the Madden community and is one of the primary reasons people complain about the secondary being too good against deep passes.

Same for me but around 20 to 25. I thought the slider was supposed to be lower, so the faster guys would have the advantage that they should have. The higher number made everyone equal. This is where I've been for the last five years or so.

Yeah I use 35 as I like the better players to stand out more as superstars.

With that being said I recommend leaving it untouched until you play a good amount of games.

There's not much sense in changing anything until you know what needs changed.

Likely it will need updated to what you feel good with but I'd recommend trying default first to ensure it hasn't changed from 23.

The default was 50, but the Madden developers did an update and recommended changing this to 75.

Is there a source link for this?

Re: Madden 24 Speed Threshold/ Parity instead of Slideritis

Sliders came first. Why was a layer added on top of a layer?

No mention of difficulty level. We know All-Madden turns the opponent into a team of HOFrs.

There have been plenty of versions where no balance can be found regardless of the speed setting.

Check the slider page, you'll find tons of zero based sliders over the years, with varying degrees of *outcomes*

I don't think there will ever be a consensus as to what is truly best.

75?! I’ve been playing with 45-48 for the longest time in most maddens. Matt10 and MrHurricane use 48 so I’ve stuck with that and its been cool. Faster players should be faster.

Re: Madden 24 Speed Threshold/ Parity instead of Slideritis

I had it at 95 but on All-Pro the game felt too easy. Moving it to 50 has made it more of a challenge for me. I've also had to adjust running sliders and make my run block 0 or it's just to easy to run.

I wonder if the devs still go by this putting it at 75. I don't understand why they wouldn't default it to their intended setting.

Faster players will remain faster on any threshold setting. Whether you have it to 0, 100, or anything in between, a player with a lower speed rating will never be as fast as someone with a higher rating. All the threshold slider does is set how big the difference is, but even at 100 a 99 speed player will still be faster than a 98 speed player.
