If a player can run in a straight line long enough he will(and should) reach top speed on his own. Player usually have a small burst and/or second gear that they time to get through holes or close out on tackles but there is entirely to much changing direction in football for players to be sprinting all play its just a silly idea by EA devs. to think this is a good idea to have this button.

Instead have it like most games the more you press the analog stick the faster that player moves. Have a button that gives players a quick burst only which helps them get to there top speed once your player is at top speed the burst will be useless. Any jukes, cuts ,or change in direction will have a negative effect on the speed your traveling base on a) the type of juke, cut ,or change of direction and b) that players ratings.

Until every rating counts and there concept of speed changes. Speed will give any player in unfair advantage. Some players like Jahvid Best are a rare combonation of speed and quickness and can cut ,juke ,and/or change directions with little effect on his speed while players like Trindon Holliday(even though his speed translate well to football) who are just speed guys and struggle to change direction and return to top speed as quickly.

The problem isn't the sprint button itself. It's good to have a button to differentiate between a player moving and a player trying to run as fast as he can.

The problems is that runner can make huge cuts while sprinting. That's the part they should fix. A secondary problem is that they can sprint for the entire length of the play (no matter how long the play) without slowing down due to fatigue.

I have played enough games where you can run ,jog ,walk and creep using the analog stick if you wanna slow up ease off the analog stick.

IRL, players dont magically get to full speed at will. it takes time and is based on the individual player.
