Scaled Speed Not Making any Sense...

There are also 35 DE's over 80 speed or greater.

There are PLENTY of examples but I’ll leave the comparison to perhaps just a few- WR -Ted Ginn Jr. (4.28, 40, age 30)-88 speed 91 acc vs MLB-Bobby Wagner(4.46, 40, age 25)- 88 speed 91 acc So my stance is not that Wagner isn’t rated correctly but wrather why is Ted Ginn rated so low. Some players games are directly related to their speeds, they’re best utilized in space, and in the return game. And he’s still regarded as one of the more dynamic returners in the league, aside from most primes being between the ages of 25-32 I’m just not seeing a reason for such a drastic decline in speed formerly (97). If you guys have examples please share them, I’m not aking for a return to 97 as maybe he’s lost some speed which I’d wager as minimal, so considering the scaled back ratings 92-94 seems fair. Thoughts…?

My thought is Ted Ginn Jr. is not rated correctly, he should be 99 speed.

Whatever was done to the speed, it has helped to improve game play, IMO...

As long as Speed is still the master rating in the game for skill positions, Ginn should not be a 99, he isn't even good enough to start in the NFL...But with a speed of 99 he would start in Madden, most likely..

Then that should have been addressed instead imo

So the issue is with Madden is how do you replicate this in their game? It truly is a two-edge sword with this issue.

HaHa yes it takes someone who played collage ball or higher to get this! From high school to collage the game got faster ! And i never played pro but from what hear gets way faster and you can see it from star rookies that was super fast in collage but there mind cant keep up ! I had teammates that were track fast and we was like wow . But on the field you would never guess the same guy ran a 4.4 he just made slow decision ! this is why Rice was so good that man just anticipated and cut fast he looked like he was flying out there !
