The problem that EA has made, is that it seems like sometimes, ratings are relative, while other times, they're absolute values.
A DE that is a speed freak should be a 85 spd, while the rest are at 70s and 80s. If he's at a 90 spd, he should be just as fast as that 90 spd RB.
Or, if he's going to be a "90 spd @ DE" which is slower than a "90 spd @ CB" ... tell us, and keep it that way.
Players definitely play quicker depending on size, and I'm not the only one that noticed it this season by the looks of it.
That's fine, but irrelevant to this conversation for the most part. We're going on ratings. Holliday doesn't have a * beside his 99 spd, saying that he's actually a sprint champion, and plays faster than that. If thats the case, do what Madden did with Hester, and make him a 100 speed.
