Which speed setting is the best in Madden NFL 10?

[Bumble14]

I'm torn on this question because I like/dislike certain aspects of both speeds. In the end I voted Slow.

Normal
+ Love the human pass rush
+ The running game feels great, and you really have to follow your blocks
- Feel DB's recover too quickly from being beat to intercept or bat passes down
- the CPU pass rush feels cheap as human controlled O-linemen seem to miss too many easy pass blocks- even with top notch teams like the Pats.

Slow
+ Love the pass protection I get and am able to move in the pocket
+ Stud receivers who get a step on the defender are gone- makes the deep ball feel more realistic- no superhuman DB's
- Against another human, the pass protection gets a bit rediculous
-There is the tendency to outrun your blockers pretty quickly for some reason

Overall Slow won out becuase it gives you more time to think, especially when throwing the deep ball. I think Slow is perfect against the CPU and some Human opponents (prevents some cheesing), but there definitely should be the option to play with Normal against others. I liked the idea of giving users the chance to play in "Slow" and "Normal" lobbies.

Slow feels so much better than the other options.

Wow another poll, funny we didn't have these polls when the speed was set to normal. Slow vote for me, and my reasons?

1. I like the feel
2. Less people flying out of bounds with initial catch animation footsteps cause on slow you can steer them after the catch near the sidelines better.
3. No zig zaging down the field on kickoff returns, I returned alot of them like that on normal.
4. Takes a little longer for your running back to set up the screen, or make it to the flats.
5.Gives the defense a better chance to stop the slants.
6. Deep ball takes more precision, and timing.
7. Bump and run coverage really slows down WR's
8. Slows down people who like to hike the ball and run immediately to the outside and throw on the run.

Maybe my last post about this subject... bask in it

either normal or fast. Slow is waaaay too easy. Not to mention not even a high school game moves that slow in real life. Things are fast in the NFL, you have to react quickly so slow is unrealistic.

When I first got the game, I rocked on normal but changed the speed differential all the way down to 0, which shows the most diff. between fast and slow players then one day I switched the speed to slow, keeping the same differential setting - I didn't notice the diff. so I kept it on slow.

Now, if EA could JUST patch these 2 sliders into NCAA 10 I would be ECSTATIC and maybe I will keep my NCAA 10.

Its called preference my friend. No one has to explain/justify anything.
