I have always wanted this sort of thing in Madden. Right now any player can sprint forever. With a speed bar, each player (depending on STAMINA rating) will realistically tire out after sprinting for a long period of time. But, you can't make the bar drain out too fast because an NFL player can run long distances for a little longer than most think. When that player has to take the handoff, bust through the hole, shake a guy and stiff arm another, THEN run 35 more yards for the TD, that is where the bar needs to drain a little faster. Not to where they are running 3mph towards the end, just not a full sprint.

A 99spd player with 99sta should be able to run long distances without getting to drained out. Ofcourse, if you are in practice and run full speed in circles for 5 minutes straight he should be on the floor gasping for air. A guy with 99spd but like 85sta should be able to run fast still, but not as much as before. The stamina should act as the factor for how long the bar lasts. With that 99spd 85sta guy, after running full speed for a while, he should be running 85% of his speed.

Stamina tying into how long you sprint for is a very complicated thing to explain. But it does need to be implemented and also it should be invisible by default, with the option to turn it on.
