I think 45 is the best. Nothing to much but so little difference.

Desean Jackson catches him like he was chasing you or me, jesus o_O

Looked like threshold would have to be set at -50 to get that result.

I totally disagree - i had it at 40 and Sam Bradford (73 speed) was stride for stride with Ed Reed (93 speed) after a pick. You can't tell me that is right. 25 seems to be right

Wow, I've never seen anything like that and I use 50 threshold.

What game speed, out of curiosity? I think that's got to be part of the discussion.

That was on slow game speed. reed got round the corner at the 50 with bradford chasing and he stayed about 3 yards behind him all the way to the end zone. the gap stayed exactly the same

Wow, that's messed up.

Though, I always think something other than SPD governs some of these plays.

Even on 50 threshold, 93 should pull away from 73. Something like that shouldn't happen until like 90-100 threshold I would have thought.

This is an easy one. This speed threshold is a feature that should NOT even be in the game. It should be default at zero and unable to be changed. Fast players SHOULD ALWAYS be faster than slow players.... this is a no brainer and not really even up for debate. I mean... there is no slider for qb accuracy threshold... that makes Peyton Manning and Jason Campbell have the same accuracy. there is no tackle threshold that makes johnny lee higgins able to truck anyone in the game, be it brian urlacher or william gay... How can anyone be in favor of anything other than zero here? I don't think "well my dbs are getting beat by faster wide recievers... I want them to get beat but not by as much as realistically possible so I put the threshold on 75 so I can keep up with them no matter what" is a valid arguement. turning the threshold up breaks the game and creates glitches. I use the vike in my chise and we have arguably the slowest set of dbs in the game. my thresh is on zero, and ya know what I do to not get beat by legitimately faster recievers? I play off the reciever when applicable or I press the **** out of em with chris cook and ced griffin. and If I get beat I suck it up and know it's because I effed up calling my defense. anyone who claims to want realistic game play and also claims to use the threshold onanything other than zero is silly.
