Does additional THP have any affect on release?

With GS + higher THP seems like it might be getting the ball out faster than I'm used to even on QBs with better release. Curious if it's just in my head.

It's possible, but that's not my understanding on how it works. EA isn't very transparent on this stuff so most of what we find out comes from community testing.

I believe the release time is set based on the QB's release type. More THP doesn't speed that up. THP does increase ball velocity and max air distances for a QB..

I believe that Gunslinger only affects how fast the ball moves in-air, not how fast the release happens. Same with Throw power, it affects how deep the ball can go, not the release. MUT.GG shows the release type for every QB item in MUT (Slinger 1 is the best release type)

Interesting, thanks guys. Must be imagining it then.

Gunslinger has the following description:

Passers with this ability have faster passing animations and increased velocity on bullet passes.

I'm certain that it speeds up the release as well as adds ball velocity. It makes QBs with medium or even bad releases much more usable. It doesn't seem to have as much of an impact on the QBs with the Slinger 1 release because it's already so fast. I'm able to get away with just Pass Lead Elite on Marino since his base release is really good.
