As these younger players mover on in their careers, their physical tools diminish and they begin to play more with their positional skills. I'm not saying this concept is accurate to real life, but this is what they are attempting to do with the speed ratings this year.

How do you know that's what they are doing? When did anyone from EA say this?

No one came outright and said it, but I (and it appears this person as well) think that its the most likely scenario given what we know so far as fact.

1. Speed has been reworked this year to be based off 40 times and age

2. There is a new regression model for speed

3. Based off the ratings release, younger guys are obviously faster than veterans. Also, veterans have higher intangibles across the board.

Those above facts combined with some 40 time comparisons make his statement that you quoted the most likely outcome in my opinion.

Or maybe I am just very optimistic.

Did they pull these ratings out of a hat? They have to fix this mess with the 1st roster update.

Shields is fast is i dont know what but i think Rodgers Cromartie is the fastest cb. Jackson said thats the only cb in the league that can run step for step with him and he might be a step faster. He was a 98 last year now he's a 91.

Without the top speed Shields is a avg at best corner. His speed helps him make up for allot.

Cobb is not elite with out being super quick.

Players lose speed from injury's not age.

I like the speed ratings. Needed a wider range and more variety for a while.

It would have been fine if they scaled all the speed ratings down equally in a sensible manner, but they stole speed and acc from players that rely on it and left it for players that don't deserve it on this new scale.

Add to that the fact that speed has ALWAYS been the dominant attribute in Madden, and you are going to have CFM's where the users are taking fresh, speedy rookies over much better, almost equally young veterans because the speeds just aren't comparable. Its going to make any competitive CFM's ridiculous really quickly.

Yeah....the ratings definitely werent scaled well....but I dont know about "left for players who dont deserve it" part.

If the logic that was mentioned earlier was indeed used, seems fine to me. I know I'm not as fast at 30 than 22.
