When it comes to speed, are there any (proven) factors that can play a part in how fast a player is? For example, will a RB with 50 speed be as fast as an OT with 50 speed, assuming all other attributes are the same? Now lets say that OT is a 80 pounds heavier than the RB, will he be able to keep up with him in a sprint or will the weight play a factor?

Common sense would dictate that the OT wouldnt be able to keep up, however in GLB all attributes are common and shared by all so you would think that two identical builds regardless of the position or weight/body should have the same amount of speed. Not a theory, just a question and if anyone can show proof either way or share any thoughts it would be appreciated.

thanks....guess I missed that. Curious as to how much the weight factor is. Im guessing it's one of those formulas that only the developers would know.

A bit sounds like very not noticeably minimal to me

It is a factor...the best way to see the difference is to put the players on special teams and see who wins the race down the field. The heavier players are a bit slower.

Here's a theory that I believe to be true. Str helps your in game speed too.

Flame away!

I believe it plays a small role on speed too. I believe confidence also does too.

I would bet money that con affects acceleration anyway.

Agility is a huge factor in acceleration, IIRC.

This.

Agility is the "forgotten" skill!!! Nothing is more maddening as a recruiter than to run into a level 30 or so LB with 80ish speed and 35 agility...Heck, they'd be faster, for all "football" purposes anyway, with 68 speed and 61 agility.

I'm not convinced that speed is at all noticeably different on a player with 68 strength than a player with 48 strength, all else equal.

Confidence, IMO, does play a role, but only so far as the player has SAs like First Step or if the player activates a "situational" SAs that give speed or agility bonues like Blitz, Return Spec., or Closing Speed.

Only time will tell the extent of the "weight factor".

I don't think agility effects acceleration. I used to, but just watch kickoff team and you will see it really doesn't.

kickoffs? pfft. Everyone gets a running start regardless.
