99 Zone Threshold?

I just wanted to comment that I bought Dawkins yesterday and have him at 99 zone with read and react and he is all over the place.  He got 4 picks one game in WL.  I have never noticed a player as much as him and I have had NTL, Atwater and a few other good defensive players.  I could be wrong and it could be a fluke but it seems to me like there is possibly a 99 threshold.

My reed is only player on my team with 99 zone and he gets the most INT’s. Could be because he’s a strong safety though and a lot of people try to throw posts when he is in a deep blue and he jumps it EVERY time

That's how things should work, but they don't. 91 zone = 99 zone sadly.

People the key word is "react" 

91zone react/break for ball exact same time as 99 zone HOWEVER 99 zone allow your player to be in better position when covering your zone. You are more likely to be at the right spot to make a play. That could be the difference between swapping the ball or pick6.

This game is all about animation and I am 100% certain 99zone will give you better animation than 91zone.

It is interesting that they stopped all the super powers for MUT Heroes at 98....

Could just be Dawkins. I have Reed and Dawkins at saftey and NTL, Woodson and Renfro at my CBs. Dawkins is everywhere. Him and Woodson make huge plays for me. I run Tier 5 R&R so they all have 99zone

People have been obsessed with these thresholds ever since they were announced but imo the thresholds are overrated. You will have the same peeps swearing by the thresholds but then they complain that 89 zone plays the same as 91.

 99 def plays better. They break even faster and have better chance at knocking the ball loose..  91 is the beginning of the threshold 99 is the best at that threshold

I'm glad he is playing great for you. He hasn't been a huge factor for me, I upgraded from tier 4 ET3 and didn't notice any difference. Except when I user him of course, he is fast.

 i wouldn't call it a fluke. he's obviously a baller, you are just putting him in the right spot and right now he's making the plays

I have Seat Taylor and Rod Woodson both to 99 zone and they still get beat on routes

91-99 Play the same, I have Dawkins T5 Physical Front and have had 4 int games with him, 99 zone looks nice but doesn't play any better

MTrugby14

it would have to be new, I don't think there is. speed, accel, traits may be what you're noticing

There is no difference between 91 and 99 zone from my experience
