Devin Hester 99 speed?

[maddenps2]

Probably cause each year a player loses speed.

Doesnt just happen to him, happens to Reggie Bush and everyone else who has a 100 rating. Manning comes to mind too, i guess the 100 point doesnt really mean anything.

Tight Hamstring?

That neglects the whole point of being rated 100.

Even though it's just one point, decline shouldn't happen as soon as the franchise starts with no simming or playing at all.

Once again, no big deal. Just find it funny how EA promoted the 100 rating and as soon as you start it drops to 99.

maybe they just used 100 to say HEY they are 100 guys... but they went back to the 0 99 rating when the true game starts..

When you start franchise, the game takes all the teams' players ratings and recalculate the overall rating. So they are also an 83 in Play Now, the 67 is just what EA thinks of the team.

if that's true, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why would EA ever think that would be a good idea?

I'm pretty sure that they picked up some decent free agents......not because they recalculate everything.
