Madden's Explanation of ACC and SPD is INCORRECT!

This is proven by the fact that nobody knew it wasn't accurate until you spent hours proving it. It simply does not matter in the overall scheme. Again, I (and the vast majority of gamers) would prefer they spend time making the interactions better and the game playing more smoothly, than trying to get minute details nobody notices to the naked eye perfect.

They only have to fix all of this stuff ONCE. If they did it all correctly the first time, we wouldn't have legacy issues INCLUDING the abnormal rate of player acceleration. If FIFA can get it right, why can't Madden?

How does agility impact the speed at which a player moves? [img]

Read your thread title...

Never judge a thread by its title.

Now I know who is reading the actual content and who is trolling...

I actually understood everything explained and It makes much sense.

Have you ever programmed? Do you have any idea of the complexity of implementing what you say?

The problem is that it takes time and resources. Time and resources that could be used on more pressing issues like WR/DB interaction, OL interaction, adding commish features in franchise mode, addressing bugs and glitches.

Time is not an endless resource nor is money when you are operating within a budget. Any smart business is going to address things that a majority of their consumer base wants versus a small minority. Although what you are claiming has some validity, I don't think it is anywhere near the top of the chart in terms of what resources should be dedicated to. I think the game operates just fine with the slightly inaccurate acceleration models.

As I mentioned, 97% of users knew nothing about it before you posted and, judging by comments, its still a very, very small percentage that still care. I would prefer someone with your skill set and knowledge spend time testing the threshold to see if there is a more realistic setting that we could use. Or testing different attributes to see if some are more important than others.

I just think the time and energy you and some of the other are spending on this when more pertinent issues could be researched is a waste.

BTW, when you name your thread something that claims something is incorrect but then prove how it is actually not incorrect you should probably expect some negative feedback. Especially considering you have stated numerous times since then that the title isn't actually the purpose of the post. Its confusing. Take that for what you will.

I look at acceleration when acquiring offensive and defensive linemen because I figure they get out of their stance quicker. Am I correct?
