This is my first post so I hope it isn't hitting on something with an active thread. I noticed Trey31's "Madden 3D Models Thread" but I think his goal is a bit more advanced than what I'm looking to do. Also, I have no modding experience so hopefully the way I'm explaining what I'm looking to do doesn't sound foolish.
As the title hints I'm looking to figure out if there's a way to modify the draw distance that character models are rendered using their maximum quality. I've attached a screen shot below of an example of what I'm looking to prevent. The photo shows the ref model switching resolutions as I cross whatever threshold that triggers it zooming in and out. You can also see some of the character models in the background like Raider player 61 using a noticeably lower resolution model.

As it's seeming looking through the files will be a lengthy process for someone with my limited knowledge I'd thought I'd query the experience here. Does any one know which madden file(s) control something like the distance at which the character model resolutions are swapped out? I've played games in the past where it was built into options/settings; but, I didn't see anything simple like that in the madden.ini or settings.db file. I'm crossing my fingers for something simpler than having to edit models individually if that's even possible To this point I've done the basics someone with my limited experience can do which has only been looking through most of the files for ones with interesting titles.
