Obviously 40 =/= Speed since A.J. Green is slower than DeAndre Hopkins.
Deeply, terribly disappointed that I cannot even FATHOM HOW ONE COULD THINK IN SUCH A WAY. Quite melodramatic over a single tiny point in a 0-99 scale that you yourself can edit and in the big scheme of things doesn't change much about both the player nor his effectiveness as a whole.
A nice way to not nitpick is to complain about their methodology of rating as a whole or the lack of transparency in the methodology, or perhaps about the lack of effective line interaction where stunting and looping would work as they do in real life versus just making a mess of the trenches and giving the QB all the time in the world to complete a pass, or perhaps that there should be a more involved pass rush system involving a variety of moves (with the offensive lineman having ratings that reflect their effectiveness at resisting those moves) so that you can set up certain moves with other moves, or perhaps making players be good at particular routes as opposed to all routes being treated equally by route running, or really any amount of gameplay or ratings-related thing that isn't "how is X slower than Y by 1 point even though he ran this once at a contrived exhibition of physical abilities?" Big picture stuff, gameplay things, not a particular rating on a player being a point or two too low.
Also, like I've said before, I am not bothered by a single speed point being lower than I think it should be because there are players that have been and will continue to be shafted by ratings because the person rating the player thinks they need to maintain some legacy of competence (85 OVR Peyton Manning) or because they cannot accurately represent the variety of issues that can make a QB or offense perform badly and penalize some players (Philip Rivers/Marcus Mariota/Teddy Bridgewater) but not others (Aaron Rodgers)

SPD in Madden is 40 time, adjusted by age regression (as has been discussed in this very thread after our last interaction) so yes, SPD = 40 time.
The issue is whether they modify speed based on "game speed" and/or age regression. And how maybe AJ Green might already be affected by the regression, which makes little sense. Would u agree with that?
Your second point is ridiculous imo, so because there PLENTY of big things Madden does not do well or lacks then it should not be possible to complain about other issues? Sorry but you don't get to decide what is big enough to complain about. Ratings run gameplay so ratings inconsistencies actually have an impact on the most important aspect of the game.
It is deeply disappointing indeed that they switch over from the Ratings Czar, and even go as far as looking at FBG for ratings, and we still sit here looks at wonky physical ratings. Besides, the part of the post you were quoting (deeply disappointing, can't fathom) was not even related to the one point SPD differential but rather using things like "game speed" to modify ratings. Reading.
I agree at large with your last point about not harping too much on ratings as things will to some degree be subjective or even legacy based. My original post only referred to why two relatively young players have a somewhat illogical SPD rating.
