04:43 PM - July 30, 2012 by Steve_OS

Voting has begun to determine the fastest quarterback in Madden NFL 13. For the remainder of the week, we'll see polls for throwing power, accuracy and awareness.

The four-week campaign allows fans to vote on attributes like speed, elusiveness, hit power and more. The winner of each vote will be the highest-rated player for that attribute at their position in Madden NFL 13.

Upcoming weeks will focus on running backs, wide receivers and defenders, with the winners in each category announced every Friday. Here is the voting schedule breakdown:

July 30 � Aug 3: Quarterbacks � Speed, Throw Power, Throw Accuracy, Awareness
Aug 6 � 10: Running Backs � Speed, Acceleration, Trucking, Elusiveness
Aug 13 � 17: Wide Receivers & Tight Ends � Speed, Spectacular Catch, Route Running, Agility
Aug 20 � 24: Defense � Speed, Hit Power, Tackling, Man Coverage
Aug 24: Offensive Line, Special Teams and Overall Team Ratings

Not only will each winner receive a boost in their attributes in Madden NFL 13, but they�ll also be immortalized with a special card in Madden Ultimate Team. Fans who collect the cards of every winning player will be able to add them to a collection which will unlock a special Madden Ultimate Team reward in Madden NFL 13.

So the question is... Who should be the fastest QB in Madden NFL 13?

Michael Vick
Robert Griffin III
Terrelle Pryor

In all honesty RG3's and Vick's SPEED

# 42 CoRRuPTMiND93 @ 07/31/12 11:47 AM

In all honesty, I believe that RG3's and Vick's SPEED rating should only be a few points off of each other EX: RG3- 93 speed, Vick - 91, but if we start talking about QUICKNESS, ELUSIVENESS, BALL CARRIER VISION, ACCELERATION all these things I'd give to Mr. Michael Vick. MV is the closest thing i've seen to Barry Sanders when it comes to being able to evade and break loose, he just has that..wiggle.. I disregard Pryor because he really won't get much, if any PT in OAK

Vick should easily be the fastest with 92 speed. RG3 should be about 88 speed and Pryor should have about 85 speed. Thats more spread out than EA's speed though.

There has been no real change to what they were going to give these players anyway. The fans aren't getting to choose the actual numbers or which players are in the voting, just getting to most likely cause an change of +1 or -1 to a few guys in a few different categories. The whole thing is quite innocuous.. If one wants to question their methodology for getting to that starting number for the three individuals they put in the poll, well that's a totally different argument altogether.

However what about in Chris Johnson's case. He is the fastest player in the league. There may be a small debate about it, but he is clearly the fastest running back in the league. So in my opinion it would be an insult to have his speed rating lowered because fans voting for the player they liked more. I mean shoudnt the voting for the cover of Madden be proof in itself. Sure this year they got it right with putting Calvin Johnson on there, however last year Peyton Hillis won because he had alot of supporters, yet he wasnt even one of the top 10 backs in the league.

Vick 97 RGIII 94 Pryor 92 Newton 90. Based on in game speed. And if anyone disagrees with Newton's rating, watch this.

I tried to stay away...I really did...but with this being basically the only place voicing your opinion is even read (other sites are ghost towns), dealing with annoyances and illogical mockery will just have to be worth it.

That said, this is the biggest contradiction yet. EA realizes apparently that player editing of ratings to our liking was not in fact a "little thing," as once considered. This however does not make up for it. Asking random, just anyone (which they should know will include biased and uneducated, casual fans of football) to decide on ratings is a flat out joke.

This absolutely proves two things:

1. Again...User Control for player customization (obviously including ratings) has gotten through to the big cheeses at EA, as it is not a "little thing."

2. There's not going to be a patch/fix for full player editing in Madden 13, or else this whole voting fiasco wouldn't have become an option (because, face it...it does very much seem like trying to smooth over the fact we get no control).

EA screwed up, they know it, they've made their bed and they apparently can't lay in it.

no brainier..Vick is the fastest.

# 48 So Cal @ 08/01/12 12:06 AM

IMO I dont think you can judge RG3 and Pryors game speed until you see it on actual film on in a live game. There are many guys no matter what position that just dont get the speed rating they deserve based on 40 times being different from game speeds. I hold my vote till I see them. When you here how fast RG3 is, but you start hearing Vick is in some of the best shape he has ever been in and even if he lost a step it isnt by much. Pryor is an auto 3rd just by depth chart placement. So unless the three of them are going to meet up for EA and run a 40 yard dash it will stay up for debate.

# 49 Chrisksaint @ 08/01/12 12:14 AM

RG3, Vick is a little slower I feel but more elusive

# 50 bmj2k7 @ 08/01/12 01:43 PM

Vick no question about it

# 51 xMoJox @ 08/01/12 04:47 PM

I'd still go with Vick as fastest, but it's obvious most fans will vote for RGIII just because of all the hype!!

# 52 teebee @ 08/01/12 07:55 PM

Terrelle Pryor isn't even a QB!

# 53 ArK2030 @ 08/01/12 08:01 PM

There's a difference between straight line speed and wiggle, elusiveness and acceleration. In terms of straight line speed I think RGIII and TP are clearly better than Vick. They are both fairly long striders who cover ground very quickly. But they lack the ability to accelerate like Vick, they don't get up to their top speed as quickly (especially TP, though somewhat true regarding RGIII). Vick has the hips that Pryor and Griffin don't and he can make more people miss in space, change direction better.

I think for a speed rating, yeah RGIII and TP should be better. Though the fact is to make the game play in a way that mirrors real life maybe Vick ought to have the fastest rating, due to inherent errors in the game.
