Haven't really looked at this yet.

I want to thank Bill for these because they play much much better.

Going to give them a shot now, thanks. Will post results when done.

In my testing I've found that Player Min Speed Threshold set at 50 is unrealistic. No way a 88 speed saftey should be running down the 97 speed of Jamaal Charles. I've got it set at 35 right now and after 2 games it seems pretty good. Guys that should not be caught by slower defenders are not getting caught. Definetly changes the way you play D against some teams, got to keep Chis Johnson contained, once he's get free, bye bye...

I'd like to get some input from others on this particular slider.

Thanks.

I don't think the player speed should reflect the actual NFL player. It wouldn't be fair in a video game if Devin Hester had his real speed. I've set it to 35 TH and I'm pretty much walking down the field with Hester cross routes. He can't be covered with the 35 TH. In my case since I use the Bears, I'd probably have to pump it up a little just to balance the game or else I go undefeated in my franchise and win it all.

So I just played Packers (Me) vs Cowboys. I'm not an expert Madden player nor am I really bad. I would rate myself as average to slightly above average I suppose.

Packers 31, Cowboys 14
Total offense: P: 336 C:313
Rushing: P: 80 C: 88
Passing: P: 256 C: 225

Turn overs: P: 0 C: 3 (1 fumble, 1 ints)

Rodgers: 17-24 240 2 TDs 0 INTs
Grant: 17 rushes 76 yards, 1 td (Broke 1 56 yard td run so actually avg only 1.25 ypc without that long rush. Was pretty tough going, Cpu broke blocks very easily and closed running lanes before I could reach them.)

Romo: 14-34 262 2 tds 1 int
Jones 11 rushes 52 yards and Barber 5 rushes for 17 yards.

Total of around 95 total plays run between the two teams.

Also, tons of injuries during the game. 2 players were hurt and out for the game while 4-5 were injured for different periods of time.

Edit, I think I'm going to try these sliders on using a rushing team like the Vikings and see if that makes a difference.

I just played a quarter using the bears with a 35 TH and Hester isn't as deadly as I thought on the cross patterns, its a go route that he really shines. If the db hesitates at all, there is no catching up. But isn't that realistic? Hester is one of the fastest players in the NFL. I'll have to play more using these sliders to really decide if 35 is too fast.

Then again, you might be better than I am. I think TH is up to the player.

After a few more games I'm finding TH at 35 to be a bit to low. I'm getting free and running away iwth J. Charles. I'm going to set it at 41 for a couple games, and see the results. Of course the rest of my sliders are not the same a Mike's, so that's a factor as well.

Also it makes a difference who I'm playing. Set at 35 against the cowboys and Packers I was held to under 100 Yds for the game. Against the Titans I had over 200.
