What game speed gives you the best gameplay?

[ZekeRoberts]

I like Normal just fine, but I see in the Sliders Forum lots of respected names going with Slow. I liked Slow on Madden, but I also didn't think Normal was too fast there. What are the pro/con tradeoffs to the different speeds as they relate to gameplay? (I didn't post this in Sliders Forum because I think the game plays great out of the box, but if this needs to be moved there then so be it).

Slow is perfect for me. It helps you set up your blocking (Auto Sprint Off) and also gives you a split second longer to try to read the play on defense. Normal is good but slow is just a little better for me.

It took me several games to get used to very slow but now Im loving it. The animations are so much more smooth and the passing game feels a lot better.

I tried Slow last night and I really didn't notice that much of a difference... on Normal i feel like you have a pretty short window to zip your pass in to an open receiver and i kinda like that... are you saying passing is easier on very slow?

As of right now, I'm really digging slow. But I can play on normal as well.

I like slow. Actually, I don't feel a whole lot of difference between that and normal but blazoid game speed was one of my biggest gripes about '10, so slow feels just right this year.

I've been using Very Slow. Actually, I've been floating back and forth between Slow and VS.

I don't know why i'm so fascinated with it, but Madden 10 got me hooked.

I think that normal is good, IMO slow is too slow. But to each his own.

With some slider tweaks I have found Slow to be my favorite. Normal wasn't bad but slow seemed to feel the best for my gameplay

Very Slow. It looks so much better when you have extra time to take everything in.

I was actually torn between slow and Normal.....

I'm using slow but normal is very good aswell....i think the game animations are better on slow that is what gave it the small advantage for me.

Fast because its more realistic. The other speeds are slower than real life. Its supposed to be a sim, so its best to have the speed at a sim level.

My testings by players running 40 yards had most players running it around 3.5 seconds or better so obviously fast is not realistic.

Imo fast feels like an arcade game....imo

I didn't expect to like the Slow speed, but I find it better than Normal right now. You have to keep in mind, college is a slow game. It may not seem, but it is. The #1 thing rookies say when they make the transition from NCAA to NFL, is how insanely quicker the NFL is. That's why I'm a fan of using Normal/Fast speeds on Madden, and Slow speed on NCAA.

Plus the NCAA Slow speed seems alot more tuned. I really don't even notice much of a difference from Normal to Slow. It's not like Madden's Slow where it seems like they're running in molasses.
