What are thoughts on Speed Parity this year?

What are you folks using for speed parity (the old threshold from 15) this year?

Re: What are thoughts on Speed Parity this year?

I did some initial testing on this earlier tonight. At 100, acceleration ratings are essentially nullified, so it isn't particularly realistic. At 0, there is a lot more separation between fast and slow players. Near default isn't too bad frankly....I am going to look at ranges somewhere between 45-55.

It does look like something within a normal range of 45-55 will suffice this year. No drastic changes like last year (0 or 100)...

Re: What are thoughts on Speed Parity this year?

I am using 0 again and want true separation from elite speed and average to below average speed.

I think this year it is really working far better than last year. Speed kills and you will get explosive plays from explosive players.

As you should.

It makes double coverage, spy, and defensive adjustments part of the puzzle and the chess game. I am really digging the speed ratings and the threshold this year has it pretty on point.

Zero for me.

Re: What are thoughts on Speed Parity this year?

I see both sides of the discussion.

I agree that speed isn't the only thing that's important in football so I can support increasing it.

On the flip side, in some situations speed IS a major factor so I can see lowering it.

To that end, I just leave it at 50.

Either way, the speed threshold slider seems to have a HUGE impact on the game.

Re: What are thoughts on Speed Parity this year?

what cautions me away from lowering it and making faster players get more separation is the fact that rookies come in with jacked speed ratings, much higher then the default rated roster. I feel that lowering it will magnify that. I leave mine at 50 and have no complaints.
