Do stats really not matter after 90?

I understand if the animations change the most at the thresholds, but is there really no difference at all between 90 MCV and 99 MCV? I just find that hard to believe.  
Like what’s the point of all these new players if their stats are all above 90? Except for traits  and intangibles.  

Is 99 block shedding the same as 90? Theres just no way. 

It seems like the source of this information simply classified 90+ as “elite” but that could just mean the top class of animations, and there’s still a difference in “block shed success  %” between 90 and 99.

If not, then I almost have 0 reason to upgrade my team from here on out, except for more speed. Surely it can’t be this way

It would also mean strategy items are pretty much useless. With a legendary strategy item that boosts all DB’s, the only boost you’re likely to get is a SS crossing the 90 MCV threshold or something.  
But most of them would be utterly useless.

Yeah it can’t be because I know for a fact that there’s a difference between 90 and 99 throw accuracy

There's a difference, just not a huge one like with thresholds that change animations as far as I know.

Makes sense. A lot of ppl here were saying there is no difference though.

There is minimal difference.

All physical stats (Speed, Accel, Strength, etc. Don't have a threshold.

Mostly stats dictate what abilities and traits will get discounted

Speed is such an overrated stat and you know this when low gold's hang with fast 90+ cards on defense. But EA knows people pay out the nose for speed in this game.

90 to 94 pretty much the same and 95 to 99 same
