Speed Slider?

[puremvp1]

Where it makes the gap smaller or bigger in terms of faster players to slower players, what do you guys set it at?


Is it fair to keep it at 50?

The lower the slider the bigger difference in speed. I read somewhere that 75 is best. It is all a personal preference, if you want a more offensive arcade feel lower it.

Not true... An arcade game generally has everybody, reguardless of ratings, moving at the same speed... Think about Blitz... Everyone can catch everyone... 50 is fair, I like 25, but that's just me... I up other things to make it a bit more fair though. I just find that it make a big difference in playing or having/drafting corner backs... Not all of them can run with the Randy Moss' of the league, but they can jam like a mutha! So, having the speed dif a bit greater, I feel shows this a bit more...

0 is fair because it doesn't create a hitch in running stride. But if you have it at 0 all of the scores will be inflated.

This thread prompted me to start one in the sliders forum regarding my created team franchise. I can't seem to lose despite being 80 OVR. A matter of fact I have an easier time winning than in my Packers franchise with the exact same sliders. Currently I have the speed threshold at 50 and am wondering if adjusting it will make the games tougher, if so which way should I adjust it? I'm averaging around 40 pts per game and would obviously like to see that drop, but for the most part I am holding the CPU to reasonable scores. Do I just need to adjust the sliders and leave the speed threshold alone?

It's up to you, but I find a lower speed rating makes the game harder if you don't have the right guys... Speed becomes more of an issue to consider unless you play a certain way... Like I said, for ME, I had to adjust things in order to get the game feel the way I think it should be... I've adjusted the DB abilities a littler as well, and things like that so that it's not just a speed kills game either... I like seeing guys like Woodson play guys like Moss 'cause Woodson doesn't run with Moss, he locks him down, which is what he does in real life, but every now and again Moss gets deep and it's up to the safety to make a play and help out. I find it adds need for double teams as well... Otherwise I find that the main DB almost never ever gets burned by guys like Moss, or Fitz. But that's just me...
