Oneback's Sliders

I've always wondered, how does the player speed threshold really affect how the game plays?

I mean, I play on 35 and don't really see any issues. On 55 do you see DT's tackling HB's from behind or anything like that? I also play on slow, does the game speed affect how the sliders work?

An explanation would be appreciated!

I loved your slider set last year and really want to give this one a shot, I'm just weary of high speed threshold numbers.

These sliders are still really early in development. and I am still playing around with everything. Just wanted to get feedback as I move forward.

I have updated the first post with where I am at now. I am feeling pretty good about the User sliders, I still need to test the CPU sliders more.

I tried you original ones in two games. I like the fact both were relatively low scoring games (16-14, 30-20) but I held both teams to under 175 yards. One of those teams were Georgia, which shouldn't have been held that low. It's a good start.

I have updated the first post, I think I am getting really close. If you are testing these sliders please give feedback.

Here is a Kansas State at Nebraska (me) game:

There were 3 sacks for both teams as well.

I was just reminded about the speed conversion chart over on Utopia so I did a bit more testing with the player speed threshold rating.

I took Florida WR Chris Rainey (96 speed, 98 acceleration) and HB Mack Brown (90 speed, 98 acceleration) who according to the speed conversion chart would run a 4.3 and a 4.42. Some quick math tells me Brown would cover 38.91 yards in the amount of time it would take Rainey to cover 40.

So I lined them both up at the 40 yard line, hot routed both to streaks so they would run straight down the field and then watched instant replay right on the goal line to get the results. After a few tries it looks as though a speed threshold rating of 15 will get the best results.

I think I may start using your sliders in my online dynasty now. After I play a game today ill post stats!

This game was played on a wet field and once I saw Bama's recievers slipping all over the place and them having problems throwing the ball because of this I started to focus heavily on shutting down their running game. My rushing stats are inflated because of a run by WR Niles Paul on a WR quick out of Ace - Normal where once the defense lined up I knew it was going to atleast go for a big gain. I however did not have Helu for the second half. I was down most of the game, however I was able to scrap and claw my way to a lead with 38 seconds left in the game.

I have updated the sliders as well.
