Matthew Golden Speed Rating

Can someone at EA please share the logic behind Matthew Golden’s speed rating? 

Him & Maxwell Hairston ran the same 40time, yet Golden is a 91speed while Hairston is a 96speed..?

Even if you take away that comparison, he should still be at least a 94, 95spd. A 4.29 does not equate 91!!?? He’s the fastest packer receiver yet has the lowest rating. 

The logic is confusing for multiple reasons. Surely someone at EA understands the frustration and can get back to us. Thanks. 
 
Please do not use “game speed” as a deterrent for Golden. I live in Lex KY- where Hairston went to school. If game speed was the logic, he wouldn’t be a 96.

    Agreed I've watched them ruin packers players ratings for years. They have they're favorites.

    I believe it's because the player raitings adjusters hate the packers. 

     

    Why did the Smith bros get a 2 point lower raiting when they went to the packers years ago. 

    Not a game played but they adjusted their starting raiting lower once they joined the pavers. 

    They will probably do the same with parsons.

    91 is just too slow. If game speed is so respected Hairston wouldn’t be a 96 considering he’s a rookie and hadnt touched the field yet. As I mentioned before, if we’re using college game speed, there isn’t enough plays, if any, where Hairston looks like a 96speed. I’m from KY I’ve watched dozens of UK games in person and on tv. Love the kid but EAs logic is flawed on this one 

  • The 40yard dash isn't everything. Especially in the case of Golden. Just watch his tape in College and you see him multiple getting caught when he had the ball and had only free field in front of him. That's why also everybody was surprised that he ran the fastest 40 yard dash in this years Combine. Because his speed on the field wasn't that fast. I was also wondered that they only gave him 91 and not 93 or 94 but also said before the ratings, that I hope that he doesnt get 96+ speed. 
    But they gave him 97 acceleration because he is quick from the release.

    I would love them to address this low rating

    Don't compare QB Jordan Love's ratings to Caleb Williams of the Bears either, you won't like it.
