Is Speed Still King?

Anyone know? I haven’t noticed speed much this year.

EDIT: New Question, Release/Beat press over Speed? And what about route running? Sorry I know it’s a lot of questions but it’s just because the ratings sometimes feel like they don’t matter

Quote from axightly13 >> Flip a coin. It has some effect im sure but But I have seen little improvements across both sides of the ball after I reached 84 Ovl. Team plays the same it seems no matter who is on the field. Im 90 ovl now but my SC team gets as many wins even in H2H when I forget to swap out.

 SC team?

aricbauer

yes, speed is still most important.

The importance of it dwindles as the year goes on. I never put much into the speed of a card. I e had Sherman keep up with guys like hill, and have broken long runs with guys like Gore. There’s more to it than speed.

My 90 + speed corners (Ward, Ramsey) still get beat by guys like OBJ so I don't really know what attributes are important for CBs. Just seems to be a case of getting lucky or not lol

So Release/Beat press over Speed? And what about route running? Sorry I know it’s a lot of questions but it’s just because the ratings sometimes feel like they don’t matter

Matters but not as much as it use to

Qb will go down well befor Hardman beats his press

If you think Hardman and his 94 speed is "not doing anything," then hes not being used correctly. No one can stay with him as he crosses the field.

Yes

Nah . Amazes me the coins spent to get an extra speed or two.  Heck a 87 FO came out today, 100k cause has 94 speed, dude not doing anything. Think speed is all mental to the speed freaks lol
