When I was playing around with the JVN calculator I was trying to get them as wide as possible. The limiting factor, though, was that the two speeds that we wanted for the end game were 17fps and 12.72fps, which put limit on how much i could work the speeds while still keeping it realistic. I guess I was just focusing on the speeds needed for this game and not the wide array that there could have been.
