It has a set value of average (likely 88). At 50 all players are at their default + whatever boost/penlaty your difficulty level applies. When you decrease the threshold it measures the difference between each player against that norm and effectively increases the gap by a multiple. For instance: LB speed is 88: 88-88 stays the same RB speed is 95: 95-88 = 7, now with threshold at 0 it multiples 7 X 1.5 giving 10 it then adds 10 to 95 giving a new speed to that player of 105. Now the running back is much much faster than the LB. The reason the slider doesn't help the deep ball is because: CB speed 94: 94-88 = 6 X 1.5 = 9 WR speed 95: 95-88 = 7 X 1.5 = 10 There is now still a negligible difference between the WR and CB. Things get wonkey on Madden level difficulty because it applies a bonus. CPU CB speed 94 + 5 -88 = 11 X 1.5 = 17 HUM WR speed 95 - 5 -88 = 2 X 1.5 = 3 Now the CPU CB has a speed advantage over the WR and thus computer defense looks better with threshold lower.

So are you suggesting to use all-pro then? For more accurate control over the sliders?

I guess I tend to think that all madden is the only way for veteran players. Perhaps I need to reconsider?

Great thread btw
