With his size and strength numbers he will be a threat to pick up more yards in the game then in real life

I too hate many of madden's ratings, but Winston's speed is one of the least I'm concerned with on that list.

Very good observation. I was about to say the same thing - they are nearly identical in how they tested. The problem is that they should have both been closer to a SPD of 60 than 73.

Very surprised that nobody has started an internet petition for this yet. I thought that was the millennial thing to do these days.

Speed had literally like nothing to do with that clip lol.

He actually ran quite a bit out of the pocket or when scrambling, in college though sacks go as "negative" runs against his yardage so it skews what he actually did when extending plays and isn't really all that fair.

And he was sacked a lot last year.

Edit: Sorry, hadn't read the second page yet and saw that this was already addressed.

When was the last time a qb came into the league as a first rounder with a speed under 70? It's becoming a more speed position it seems.

This is not a test.

is that why they rated marion barber a 90 speed in madden 07?

# 49 Godgers12 @ 07/21/15 02:18 AM

Mariota's rating has confirmed I'm using the Titans in one of my online CFM's. But does anyone know what DGB is rated?

# 50 fmw32 @ 07/21/15 05:57 AM

Winston should be at least an 83

Cannot wait to play with Beasley.

# 52 georgiafan @ 07/21/15 08:46 AM

Will we be getting more ratings today? bc on the ea sports page it had a lot of stuff to come that was blacked out/

# 53 NDAlum @ 07/21/15 08:47 AM

It's possible but there's been nothing posted to = certainty.

# 54 ApolloKids @ 07/21/15 09:07 AM

Screenshots of just the back of players means no face scans.

# 55 Step2001 @ 07/21/15 09:12 AM

If they've done injuries right, within CFM, Gurley should not be fully healthy until year 2 of Franchise mode. Rehab on the knee takes a full year or more.....
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.....I know Peterson recovered quickly & I believe Rice (though he tore it again) did to, but who else?

There are 22 boxes in all and there are 23 working days between yesterday and the date that Madden becomes available on EA Access.

I can't see them trickling data once EA Access goes live as public for all intents and purposes at that point, so the trickle needs to finish by then. If this is correct it looks like we can expect/guess information to be released every week day, with one exception (probably the day before EA Access launch).

I do not work for EA and I do not have inside information. However, based on what we know this would make sense.

Based on what? I don't think he's automatically better or as good as Eli Manning, Carson Palmer, and Ryan Tannehill

# 58 fmw32 @ 07/21/15 12:27 PM

Based off what he did in college, based off his arm strength, his mobility, and athleticism. He's already better than Tannehill.

um, what?

on no planet is Winston more athletic or more mobile than Tannehill.

# 60 fmw32 @ 07/21/15 12:35 PM

I didn't say he was more athletic than Tannehill I said he was a better quarterback. I don't know about you but I'd rather have Winston than Tannehill hands down
