In my dynasty we've created a system to adjust speed ratings.
We simply take a known 40 time and what year the player is ...
Clocked Time Class Deduction
4.25 and below = 99 l Freshman - minus 2
4.26 -4.28 = 98 l Freshman(RS) or Soph - minus 1
4.29 - 4.31= 97 l Soph (RS) Junior - no deduction
4.32 - 4.34= 96 l Junior(RS) or Senior - no deduction
every .02 and so on
4.38-4.40= 94
4.50 -4.52=90
4.59-4.61=87
4.68-4.70 = 84
EX.
Jeff Demps Jr. (Fl Gators) clocked at 4.23 and 4.25 = 99 speed ( no argument there )
LaMichael James (Ore Ducks) clocked at a 4.38 = he has a 97 on the game (problem = should be 94 as a Soph (RS) we dont deduct = 94 Speed )
DeMarco Murray (Ok Sooners) clocked @ 4.35 = he has an 82 (WTF = should be 95 speed and as a senior no deductions so 95 speed)
we adjust both ways to be fair - as SPEED heavy as the game is it also SCREWS some true speedsters out there (Murray (OU), R. Williams (VT),T.Taylor (VT), J. Locker (UW))
This system helps to lower and raise speed to be fair.
EA has players like C. Byndom (CB from Tx Longhorns) who is a true freshman, who's fastest time clocked is 4.45 but he has 97 speed ... the entire FSU linebacker squad runs 4.45s should they be in the high 90s too? We just don't think so. C. Byndom's 4.45 would equal a 92 but a 90 as a freshman deducts 2 - training will build his speed to where it needs to be (around 92 or so) but definitely not a 97+.
We also take a deduction for the bigger the athlete is ... like we said FSU, MIAMI, UF all have those 6'4 235+lb linebackers running 4.4s ... so in addition to the class deductions if the player is are over 225 also deduct 2 rating pts. This is to say take a player like Nigel Bradham (FSU LB) who runs a 4.48 from getting a 91 speed and placing that at a 89.
