That's one of our elusives. Underdogs is on the right track. Remember, first step is important in the perception of speed.
Tea has a TON of SAs. I'm positive on that; his rushing bar is the same as mine at Level 25. Based on that, I'm calling about 75/75 with capped vision and a crapload of SAs. 9 Cut, 7 Head Fake and 8 First step. Something insane like that.

How is that perception?
I'm flabbergasted. Really? A perosn will be faster in the first five yards with First Step. Or at least that is the assumption. But what I said was he will look noticeably, suprisingly fast. Come on, use your head. I know he will really be faster. But how much faster does someone look if they instantly are moving at speed 70 as opposed to taking a second to get to speed 70.
It is a noticeable difference. The person going fast first will continue to look faster just because of the perceoption.
I understand it is a difficult concept, perceiving something that is true (ie, the initially faster rb actually looking faster), but what I'm saying is that when first step goes off players look faster than they actually are because the speed change is sudden and noticeable.
You ever work in a restaurant? They dim the house lights at night slowly over time because it is less noticeable (perceivable) than if they cut the lights to mood setting in one hit. It's like that.
Larry means that someone with First Step will hit their peak speed faster, so they look faster. so a RB(1), who has 70 speed and a point in first step will not TECHNICALLY be faster than RB(2), who has 70 speed and no point in first step. but RB(1) will get to the peak speed faster than RB(2).
and because of that tiny bit of push, RB(1) will always be a step ahead of RB(2).
Think of First Step as giving the RB a little extra acceleration.
Think of Mario Kart. the big Karts were always faster than the little karts, but because the little karts had so much more acceleration, they were off the line faster than the big karts.
If the karts had equal speed but one kart had more acceleration, the kart with more acceleration would obviously get to the max speed faster and maintain that speed ahead of the other kart.
Also, if a big kart hit a banana, it would spin out and take a looong time to speed up again.
if a little kart hit a banana, it would spin out, but it would speed up right away.
We can apply this to RBs too. If a big fast RB is hit by a defender but breaks a tackle, it will take some time to pick up speed again. A RB with First Step will take LESS TIME to speed up after the hit.
But LarryB, sweety, those are not nearly comparable things. Especially when you're dealing with a dot traveling across a field with lines for reference.
But I do appreciate you trying to bring cognitive science in to this.
PS A dot with first step does not only appear to be faster, it is faster.

Seriously? What a douche. They are comparable things. In fact, they are directly comparable. Not even proportional. Directly friggi' comparable.
Now, your tone insinuates you're talking down to me. Please be sure to read what I've typed before you formulate a response, especially a response where you talk down to me. I've typed, very specifically, that I know he actually is traveling faster. What the heck is so hard for everyone to comprehend about that point? I know he is going faster. But that fact is made strikingly more noticeable because he is instantly going faster.
I'll understand if you don't fully comprehend my point (Just ask Bukowski, it seems to be pretty chronic), but don't attempt to talk down to me or in any way cheapen my statement because you don't quite get it.
