here's my take on 40s. they are great to use to measure if a guy falls in one of these categories.

REALLY slow---slow---below avg.---avg.---above avg.---fast---HOLY SH*T!!!


you can tell if a guy falls in one of these categories using a 40, b/c you won't run a fast 40 unless you fast. BUT, you can't soley use a 40 to say a guy is faster than another. EX: someone who runs a 4.3 and someone who runs a 4.4. the 4.4 guy could be faster in pads, and just suck at gettting a good 40 jump. the 40 technique is what seperates a 4.5 and a 4.3 or 4.4. all im saying is that if EA is basing speed soley off of 40s like the OP said(i think), than that is wrong. you need to say, ok this guy runs a 4.4 and this guy runs a 4.35. lets look at some tape. and not just that, a 40 is mainly acceleration, not speed. top end speed doesn't= great speed. so if i were to make a created player with 99 speed, and 0 acceleration, he should be useless. but ppl would see 99 speed and not look at acceleration. my point is i'd rather have a guy with 98 acceleration and 93 speed, then 95 speed and 90 acceleration. the point is people look at speed so much and i think the key is a combination of speed and acceleration. then if you are looking at a RB, CB, or WR.....agility helps
