Speed ratings in madden FLAWED...

[juggalotusx]

I have working on creating updated rosters for madden this year and just ran into a huge flaw in the speed ratings of players.
After going threw and finding 40 times of about 15 players, I saw that only about 2 were close to being correct.
They have players that ran a 430 slower than players that ran a 456, How in the heck does this work.
I understand players get slower with age but this was not the case this was players only a couple years into the leauge.
Example Lions Mike thomas ran a 430 40 time his speed in madden 93 with acc 94
Brandon tate of the bengals ran a 456 40 time his speed a 95 with acc 93
How does this work, who creates the ratings and where does he get his info or does he just guess? Both players in the leauge same amount of years 3.
I saw this with multiple players and that was just WRs.

I also Cant stand how they bring up a persons route running just to bring up the ovrall.
Shady mcCoy a 83 Route runner, I think not....

The 40 is a measure of acceration, not speed.
Overall rating doesn't matter.

ok so thomas should still have a better acc than tate not just a 1 point differance, right?
Also if thats the case everyones speed should be lower than there acc cause when you get to full speed you slow down from getting tired"stamina" right.
So then you will never go faster then when you first start running at full acc.

Lol yea I noticed this as well, I can't remember any off the top of my head but I found the amount of dudes with 1 consistency and like 3 confidence unusual. Some of the consistency ones were blatantly asinine, I just wish I remember whom I noticed first that made me do a double take

Thomas ran a 4.30 yes, but Tate didn't run at the combine as he was coming off of a knee injury. He didn't run at his pro day in 2009 either. The best verifiable time NFLDS reported was a 4.52.
