Is the idea basically just
+ acceleration, - catch
vs.
- acceleration, + catch
?
I would probably need to ramp up drops somewhat to make the +catch end of the scale worthwhile if that's the case.
I would venture to GUESS that it would affect vision. Perhaps it would penalize the closest defender's vision by a certain small percentage (based on slider position) and increase the receiver's vision by the same factor, making the defender make a possible "bad read" on where the receiver plans to go after making the catch, and letting the receiver possibly make a "great read" on where the defender is once he catches the pass quickly, and go the other way...
It wouldn't do TOO MUCH that way to make someone with this slider positioning impossible to tackle, but it would give him a slightly better chance at making that big play, which seems to be elusive in GLB at the moment, unless it's just a speed/outran sort of thing.
