Madden NFL 16 Player Ratings - Top 5 Running Backs

In fact, you can actually use the splits to REPLACE all three of these ratings and force the users to look at the splits to determine the type of player they want. Do you want the Jammal Charles with elite STA and elite SPD but who accelerates slowly, or do you want the quick twitch with elite ACC but lower SPD and STA. That is what I would love to see in this game.

Here, here!!!

The "Explosive" player doesn't exist because this methodology is not part of game currently (maybe in M17).

"Hit The Hole" should be the mindset when thinking about RB's at this level.
Barry Sanders wasn't fast, but when he planted his foot, he "EXPLODED" through holes/creases.

There's an "Initiate Contact" Trait (1-3 if I remember correctly) that is hidden to the gamer (along with some others) I wish we were given access to.

The more I look at Madden ratings, the more I wish they'd just throw the entire system out and start over. It's all one big mess and I don't think football realism can be achieved with this current system.

Where on earth did you get that 4.44 for Lacy? He didn't run at the combine and only had a 4.64 at his pro day.

In their defense, Demarco and Dez were going to clean out as much of the Dallas' free cap space as possible. If you could keep only one of them, Dez was the one. Dallas still has a great offensive line, so I don't expect their run game to just fall off the face of the earth or anything.

Gameplay wise, you will not see a difference between Lynch's 85 SPD and Murry's 89 SPD. They're both in the 80's, with Murry 1pt away from 90. When he hits 90, then you'll see a difference gameplay wise (dependent on Stamina rating) during runs.

This is 100% not correct for the SPD and ACC ratings, and I have proven it. A while back CM Hooe made me some cutups of players with different speed and acceleration ratings to quantify the exact amount of acceleration and speed displayed in the game. A difference of one point for the SPD or ACC attribute did result in a different time for their splits (I counted frames for every 5 yards). It may work like that for other attributes, it I can assure you that for SPD and ACC, the 1 point does make a difference in straight line speed.

Lets see how long Demarco stays up there now that he's not playing behind football's greatest offensive line. He carried the ball 400 times last year. Terrell Davis, Jamal Anderson, Jamal Lewis, Shaun Alexander territory, and none of them had the injury history DeMarco has. Plus playing in the uptempo offense compared to the Cowboys's ball control. But I understand being up there for his production last year... but the odds are not in his favor of staying. But thanks Philly for over-paying for what will ultimately be Dallas's trash.

You might be in the minority of Cowboy fans that think that way. Multiple film watchers have said for the yards that DeMarco got behind that line, he still could've gotten way more. Even the remaining running backs on the Dallas roster last year have gone on the record to say the same. Plus he had well over 400 touches last year. Recent running backs like Terrell Davis, Jamal Anderson, Jamal Lewis, Shaun Alexander, Adrian Peterson, Arian Foster, Alfred Morris, Maurice Jones-Drew, Michael Turner, Chris Johnson, Thomas Jones... all of which had 350+ touches NEVER returned to form. You have to look back to Emmitt Smith to see a back that was productive the following year. Emmitt did it for two years, then was never the same. And NONE of these guys have the injury history of Murray. If their wrong, I don't want to be right.

Not to mention Murray is the same age in which #22 became an average runner for the rest of his career.
