What do you all think of how JDB decided to make speed relative? I'm looking at the fastest guys in the league at each position and it seems pretty interesting to me. I think I like it, but I'm gonna have to get used to what is super fast for each position.

But on a side note, I finally know who the fastest three people on my team are. And it ain't pretty lol:

Fastest is my number 2 rb Pino at 92.

Next fastest is a tie between my stud WLB Hernandez and........ My punter Gifford????????? They are 88 speed smh.

So does that mean Gifford can rotate punting and gunner duties? XD

I think I'm probably in the minority, but I really liked the way it was before. I used to check the weight of players before drafting them, knowing that a guy that is 10lbs lighter would be a little bit quicker. I like speed...

My guys are still pretty fast I think. My RB is 87, my WR's are 88 and 90, and my QB is a shocking 91! Oh, if only QB's were still running the ball!

I'm happy with my D, my top 2 CB's are 91 and 86... my dline starters are 86, 79, 78, and 75. My starting LB's are 89, 88, and 77.

Let's not talk about my Oline...

Wouldn't it be easier now? I mean, before like eyeball, I would look at speed and then weight. Now all you need to do is look at speed and it tells it all. Right? Am I missing some special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, on a sesame seed bun???

Only difference now is that speed meter can increase and decrease depending on the gaining or losing of weight

it's actually going to be much easier, the only problem is getting used to the new format and figuring out how the new numbers translate to play. I think it will be better for sure

what you see will always be the accurate reflection of that player with everyone else. I forgot the onions.

i'm curious to see the speed change with weight cause i have yet to see that part. I haven't really checked in on it in mfn 1 to see if that's the case but i would assume it changes and is reflected for everyone to see on the player card

It is easier, yes, but not everything has to be easy. I like the idea of not knowing exactly what a player's speed is. I think knowing the exact number kind of dumbs it down a bit. Part of the joy for me is not knowing everything about the game, having that unknown quality to try to figure out. I don't know, maybe I'm crazy... like I said, I am in the minority I'm sure... Heh!
