Took me about 2 hours total. At times it would download fast and I would make a lot of progress then it would shut down to barely moving.

I agree..which leads me to think only way "kind of" around this is 32 control.

It hasn't been.. Which is why I think people who wait 2 days will be let down.

I have a feeling you're right. Unless EA is just being incompetent or ignoring it on purpose. They're basically saying people can start leagues or continue leagues they started based on what Rex tweeted. No response at all to those who asked about the speed issue. If a Roster update will correct it, then they should tweet this out before people start their leagues. So the fact that they're not telling people might mean you are correct. Either way, no direct mention of it just isnt right on EA's part.

What I am gathering from this is the biggest issue is the speed ratings of rookies (not overly concerned with this) and regression of left tackles when simming? Basically if we play every game it will prevent most of the regression with the left tackles?

For your team, not other teams.

Unless something has changed or I misunderstood how events transpired in my personal experience, CPU teams are able to make adjustments to their depth chart in-season for reasons beyond injury.

In my Madden NFL 15 franchise, for example, the CPU Titans used three different quarterbacks in my first season - Zach Mettenberger, Scott Tolzien (via trade), and Charlie Whitehurst. All of them eventually saw their OVR rating decrease due to poor performance (which caused low Confidence), leading to the CPU trying a different option.

I admittedly have no idea if this is still a thing in Madden NFL 16.

Did a quick CFM test to confirm that the LT sacks given up is still an issue.
