    Too much speed in draft classes

    I have felt that for the last 2 years, there is way too many fast guys in the draft classes and rookie FAs every year. It gets to the point where guys in my online franchise just draft 99 speed players, and sign undrafted FAs that are 98, 99 speed. Each year it seems like there are at least 8-10 of them.

    The problem here is two fold in my opinion:

    1- too many top rated speed guys coming out every year
    2- speed remains to be the only rating that really matters.

    Anyone else seeing this?

    This year?? I haven't noticed this.. Most guys are slow as crap.. To the point where 75 percent of the class is useless because who wants a 75-80 speed cb or wr.

        If anything, I've noticed everyone, especially secondary players, are extremely slow.

            This, picked up one of the top rated CB's with an early pick to find out later that he has 80 speed?! Are you kidding me? He may be ok if i sim since all his other attributes are decent, but I play all my games. He would get torched every time if i use him.

              when you think about it...there should be, im sure you can find speed just about anywhere if you're an NFL franchise.... but you need more than speed IRL

                I think we need less guys with high 90s speed and low 70s acceleration

                  How is the Raiders franchise supposed to draft if there is no speed?

                    Too much speed in draft classes

                    Yeah, gotta agree with all these other guys. Sorry to the OP. I can NEVER find any speed in the draft. There's usually only 2 RBs with SPD over 90 which just always kills me. I personally think EVERY RB should have 90+. That's what these guys do, they RUN! I know there are some beasts and I don't expect ironhead heyward or Jerome Bettis to be 90+, but really, this is where the speed should start. Maybe 85+. Especially, after starting my franchise with atl and Jackson who they gave an 82??!! An 82??!! I know he's a big dude. Thank u for the truck and stiff arm (which don't do much next gen IMO), but he's faster than 82. At 82, he can NEVER get to the edge. But, I digress. For me, there are far too many slow WRs, cbs, and RBs in madden. And, don't get me wrong, I don't want speed to be the only thing in madden, but I'm pretty sure if u ask any scout or gm what they look for at any position, and speed will be pretty high on that list.
