Iconic Tyreek Hill - massive problem
I have a 424 Tyreek Hill matched up against a 211 Byron Jones. He has literally more than double the speed rating, but Jones runs step-for-step with him down the field. Please explain why speed is ev...

In the past speed was the king off all attributes, so top players would stack their team with the fastest players to drop hail marys non-stop to win. If you didn't have any CBs that kept up in speed, you weren't able to stop it. This caused the game to be very one dimensional because everyone only sought out players with higher speed.
Other factors play into it like acceleration and agility when you cut. Even in real life though, Tyreek can run fly routes and still be defended step by step from the defender. He'll still burn them most of the time but it's not like he's unstoppable. For a game, you still have to factor in enjoyment by balancing certain items so they don't cause extreme unfair advantages.

If there is a way you can capture some clips of that and post them here that can help, I'm not seeing others bring this up though.
This continues to be a MASSIVE issue, the game is broken, possibly beyond repair.
A 142 speed Jordan Poyer just accelerated away from my 318 speed Tyreek Hill after picking off a pass.
@EA_Blueberry you MUST do something about this appalling sim, it is flat out unplayable in its present form. I have no issue with Tyreek very rarely getting deep on a defender who is sitting 15 yards off him at the snap and playing a deep zone, that is how you defend deep threats, but he should then be able to run a quick hitch and that player has NO chance of making a play on the ball.
It is also the buggiest game I have ever seen in my life, and the user experience is terrible. The devs have learned nothing from previous years, nor from this year's complaints.
If speed is so overpowered that it has been completely nerfed, why even make it a stat? What is the point?
Also, the release notes say that differential in overall won't affect the way your player plays, but that is quite simply a lie. Ignoring the obvious change in speed depending on who you're playing (which should not be ignored, because getting familiar with how quickly your player runs a route or gets to the point of attack on a run is a key part of learning how to play the game better), my QB routinely throws appalling passes straight to the D when playing opponents who massively outrank me, yet almost never throws passes which are particularly off target when I outrank my opponent.
This is another massive issue with the current sim.
One further issue is not capping the level in the 3rd tier of arena. It's nice that you allow the lowbies to play against like opponents, but forcing people who ACTUALLY play regularly to play against people who have obviously spent thousands on the game does the opposite of encourage them to spend any money.
Please take these concerns as far as you can. You know that I've been an active part of this community and want the game to be enjoyable, but it's at the point that I'm just about done with it this year, which makes me sad.
