I was kinda talking about something like this in a different thread. What I've been doing is looking for a WR with "a RB build" who has good speed, acceleration, and agility. Then I change him to RB right after the draft. I just took a guy in the 1st rd, 6'1" 220 lbs. I think he was an 80 OVR, 89 speed, 96 agility, 97 accel. The speed isn't there like I would want it to be but he is superstar development so I'll build his speed up. The important part is he has the acceleration. He dropped to a 75 OVR when moved to RB. I'll have him built up quickly.

Re: Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in
The last season i turned a WR into a rb, but pre-combine these guys dont look too spectacular. Meanwhile i found a HB with A elusiveness, B+ Juke and B+ Trucking that shows "Speed Back" so i really dont know what to expect and if i should draft him or wait another season for that true 97 Spd WR conversion.Comment

Re: Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in
Looking at it now though, I guess there aren't a whole lot of speed RBs in the NFL anyway. This past combine Langford ran the fastest 40 with 4.42 (which translated to 92 speed). Only 2 others ran faster than 4.5 (and only by .02 and .01 of a second). I suppose the draft classes aren't terrible at looking like an actual NFL draft. Hopefully my first draft was a bit of a fluke and I'll find some faster guys in this one.
EDIT: Here's a chart to help anyone looking for a speed back

Re: Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in
This is my concern with moving a WR to RB to get a speed back. Feels like exploiting the game. I don't want to draft a WR to move to HB because you don't typically see that happen in the NFL. Some guys will make the switch, but they were usually already a RB/WR type in college. I have thought of moving Cordaralle Patterson to RB (I believe you mentioned this in another thread) but I hope that I can find a faster RB in the draft than his 90 speed. Tavon Austin is another I thought of moving, but he is so small it's not really realistic. I may move him to RB to use him like a Dexter McCluster (but line him up in the slot a lot more). Still debating

It's clearly an unfair advantage over the CPU if you move WR's with 95+ speed to HB.SOS Madden League (PS4) | League Archives

You didn't name an elite speed guy who was moved to HB. If anything, the elite speed guys all move to WR.SOS Madden League (PS4) | League Archives

Re: Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in
Is it exploiting the game or simply finding a workout for the game's inefficiency? The game never gives you a fast RB, so this seems like a workaround.
Not sure if I would/will do this, but to each their own.Comment

Re: Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in
I wouldn't say it's an inefficiency. It was a deliberate game design. Now we can sit here and say we want to see a few speed backs in the draft...and I would agree. Of course I'd love to come across the 95 spd/acc/agi guy who is a freak and runs through the league. By design that player isn't in the draft pool for Madden 16.
To me it's an exploit if you are giving yourself an advantage that the CPU can never equal. Sure they can draft that player away from you, but he'll never be a HB like you would make him. Unless you actually control all the teams and give the CPU a few elite speed guys then yes, you are exploiting the game by gaining an unfair advantage.
With that said: I don't care if anybody does it. It's your game so do what you please. Rush for 3,000 yards a season and 50 TD's. Do whatever makes you happy.SOS Madden League (PS4) | League Archives

Re: Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in
How many elite speed backs have there been in the league? I feel like most of those guys are great 3rd down backs/returners or like ND (you gotta change that name) said, they get moved to WR.

Is awareness the attribute governing your rookie qbs random errant passes? Or is it something elseComment

Chris Johnson is the only one that comes to mind. He ran a ridiculous 40 and then for 2,000 yards.SOS Madden League (PS4) | League Archives

Re: Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in
Does Jamaal Charles count as one?
The Real issue in my opinion is, in this madden a 4.3 = 97 speed
While Clinton Portis and and Laron Landry had a race in training camp to prove who was the fastest player on the Skins a while back and CP won with a 4.33 but we will never see a rookie rb with even 94 spd in the draft on this gameComment

Re: Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in
I do solo franchises. To me, it's fun to build my teams how I see fit. I love realism, but this game doesn't have it. Never has, never will. I see a lot of posts on here where people are way too over the top in attempting to simulate real football. It is a game, it plays like a game, and that's all it really is to me.Comment

Re: Madden 16 CFM Draft: Biggest Freaks/Studs/Gems in
Not a fan of how you quote me then talk about how people go over the top to simulate real football.
I'm not changing WR to HB because I think it's a cheap tactic, not because it isn't sim. If you want to, go ahead. Play the game as you see fit. If you get more enjoyment by making the change then go for it man.
