QB Speed in Franchise is slow (not equal to other positions)

Summarize your bug QB speed is inaccurate. It is impossible to create a fast qb that scrambles and runs qb runs similar to Lamar Jackson in real life or college football (i.e. Army or Navy). I created a QB that is 99 speed, 99 Agility, 99 COD, 99 Acceleration, and I can't get out of the back field on qb runs. When I do I'm chased down by LBs and D-Linemen. I also tried changing my min speed slider and this did not work either. PLEASE make QB speed function the same as WR, RB, CBs etc... QBs like Fields and Lamar are fast regardless of position, let us create players that are fast as well.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a qb and try and run with him.
What happens when the bug occurs? The QB is slow, gets tackled from behind consistently, and struggles to make it out of the pocket when scrambling because 300 lbs linemen with 72 speed are faster than a qb with 90 speed.
What do you expect to see? speed ratings to be equal regardless of position. Also the Escape Artist is extremely difficult to activate in game when the qb is running so slow.

No further explanation is needed. The QB speed is clearly off and needs fixed. Running from the qb position should be no different than a pitch to a HB as far as speed. If the QB and HB speed/acceleration rating is the same, they should move the same speed.

  • I have the issue on PS4 with Lamar Jackson makes no sense. 

    Can this please be looked at, works fine in training but a game a issue. I love franchise mode (offline) so please have a look as I just got the game 

  • Same deal with me, it’s frustrating and I haven’t seen them address it publicly

  • @krwitt0605 Did they fix your problem yet? I'm having the same issue. My QB is at 99 speed and Acceleration but is moving slower than Tom Brady
  • It's pretty easy to see EA is giving up on madden 23. How do you still let this bug occur this far after launch? This is a clear mistake on their part and they did not get the functionality correct (which should have been caught in UAT testing, if game devs still do that). It basically makes quite a few playbooks ineffective because they rely on qb runs fairly heavily. EA is most likely too focused on their "make or break madden game" next year, which I will not be buying as I already spent enough money on this hunk of junk. This doesn't even go to mention the other issues which make face of the Franchise unplayable for anything other than a QB and that is sometimes a stretch.
