I don't see any benefit to a super high speed WR. Anything over 110 isn't really worth it, because it takes a bit to get up to that speed. The higher the agility the quicker top speed is reached, but it still takes time. The only way it's effective is if your QB can throw an accurate Deep Ball. Which right now the Sim sux at that. The QB has to be on the money or the WR would have to stop and wait, killing his advantage, then he gets hammered by the DBs who've caught up. Plus the QB has to have time to deliver it deep, I don't think you ever gonna see the Sim consistently have a QB take a 2 step drop and throw an accurate deep ball, hitting a 110+ speed WR in stride.
Everyone has this vision in their head of a WR blazing down the field and outrunning everyone, and the QB throwing the ball over the top and getting as easy score. It doesn't happen that much in real football and it's not gonna happen that much on GLB. It's already been pretty much proven that a CB with 95 speed and 70ish agility with 8+ in SDC can keep up with ANY Wr in GLB.
*groan*
Any WR?

I've probably got 50 of these in the past 3 seasons.
The problem is inconsistency in WR speed when they have the same attributes. My WR eats 95 speed CB's for breakfast (CB's who outlevel him by 8-10 levels) and I'm getting weary of hearing how impossible it is.
My WR isn't even THAT fast. (115)
If your getting weary, that means you've heard it alot. Because apparently your WR is the exception and not the norm. I'd still like to see the CBs build compared to your WRs build. Of course that's not gonna happen. You say about 50, I'll take your word on that. But this is the kind of stuff that makes this game BS. One WR can do it, but 10 others with almost the same exact builds won't be able too. And of course the guy who's got the one who can, thinks the rest are inept at building are just whinning. This is the stuff that gives all the "X FActor" theories legs. I'm glad you got a stud WR who dominates, but I"d bet there's a ton of WRs with builds almost identical to your guys who don't. If you seriously think you've got something figured out with WRs pm me and I"ll give you a challenge, one that no one has been able to pass. Nononononono. You misunderstand. I don't think other WR builders are inept. There is clearly an invisible (or at least unnoticed) factor that plays into his success. I have no question because I've SEEN Wr's with almost identical builds who struggle mightily in inferior leagues. I believe a LOT of WR's are totally fucked from the get go and IMO it's total bullshit. I've in fact tried and tried to use things that I formerly thought were 'secrets' and when other similar WR's used them they didn't get results.
What I'm saying is that it's not impossible for WR's to run past CB's, and that allegations of such are flat out incorrect and my WR is in fact evidence to this. There needs to be more consistency.
One of the biggest aspects of Hardy's success is the fact that he plays with a great QB who can hit him in stride. He rarely slows down to catch passes. A OC who knows what routes to utilize Speed WR's (fade/corner routes work better than streaks). There are obvious factors but still a factor I have not figured out.
I just get tired of people saying the entire WR/CB aspect is fucked, when the problem is not about WR's and CB's but about WR's and other WR's and the inconsistencies between them.
Sorry if I sounded douchy, but I don't want CB's nerfed. I have 3 of them and my WR doesn't need an advantage over CB's.
I do think WR's need looked at because it's bullshit that guys with the exact same build can post 300 yards a season while my guy pounds out 25 TD's a year.
