Russell, concerning player ratings: Last year the when importing draft classes RBs took a hit on their speed rating. Can you confirm with certainty if its the same this year as last year?

I have no idea

yeah see, thats what i was saying.

Russell were the exterior stadium intro in the build you guys played? All the videos I've seen start after the coin toss or right at the coin toss. If there were in, how did they look?

WHaT??? Online usually gets no love at these events from my perspective man. This really is the first year i've seen any community leaders talk much about online play at all. And in my opinion it's not enough. I want to know MORE about online, not less.

I get your point, just want to make mine that these guys will always leave people thinking they wish they had paid more attention to what they personally liked. I can tell you this, if I do become a community leader (I'm talking to rac about it now) then you will hate me because I'm all about online!

I can answer this for you - the NCAA guy already answered that speed ratings will continue to take a hit because that is subjective to the competition (in other words a super fast guy in college will only be a moderately fast guy in the NFL). Like it or lump it that is just how it is going to be.
