M25 Budget Beasts (very shocking)

When I was looking through the M25 players, i sorted through speed and there is a lot of really speedy guys with high speed and low overall. For example, I found a really good 86 SPD WR Xavier Worthy (tied for fastest wr in the game) as a 75 OVR. I also saw 85 SPD MLB Bolton at 80 OVR. I haven't seen madden do this yet but it's very interesting and I will definitely pick some of those cards up. Who would you guys get as budget beasts?

Yeah there are a crazy amount of 83 budget mlb's. Also saw a dt with 82 speed, great as an qb spy.

Speed mean nothing (Mut 16 perriman legend) was mean something   I have 99 Boldin 99 speed 99 acc run slow

You're comparing an endgame card to a day 1 card, speed does matter

This is one of the best posts / threads I've seen in a minute.  For anyone wondering OP's search results, here is what he referenced.  All Reveals, sorted by Speed.

This is without a doubt how I'll be attempting to build my Day 1 squad.  My goal is to try and remain patient, start collecting coins and cranking through the various Solo Challenges and whatever little content exists in the Pre-season Field Pass, before things start to get cooking on Thursday.  I expect that is when we'll receive our Rookie Premiers, although i have yet to hear a peep about any of that content.  Hopefully we'll find out RP stuff Wednesday evening.

Thank you for showing everyone how to do it! hopefully I could get a good start to the year with all of my pre-order content and all of that stuff. I also did all of my RPS so hopefully I get those ASAP!

That’s really bizarre that Nick Bolton is randomly the 2nd fastest guy in the game. Faster than all the DBs etc. Guy is gonna be on a lot of teams early! Chiefs TT might be very popular early

Sadly some of these won’t be budget items. I bet that worth will actually cost a fair amount because his speed is so high even if his overall isn’t.

is it just me or are defensive players way faster than offense? DTs with 82 speed and breece hall with 79 speed for example

I don't think it's you.  Kind of bizarre how these ratings were approached.  The Devin Hester pre-order freebie (Hall of Fame promo?) at 84 SPD is the odd man out, there's a whole heck of a lot of receivers and skill position players that are stuck at or around ~80 speed.  At least we won't have to worry too terribly much about mobile QBs to start the year, Lamar Jackson i think is the only QB that's above 80.  I'm so sick of trying to defend the roll-out pass nonsense, especially the sideline throws that count as a completion no matter what.  However, i'm concerned that the under center roll-out glitch is going to become my worst nightmare before we're through with this M25 madness.

Madden used to have 75 ovr players with 95+ speed like 5 years ago 

Been a while since I've seen guys this good though

well since there is multiple OLB that are faster than all qbs you should be able to use a 0 yard curl flat and then just send as soon as they rollout to defend that

Troy Andersen can cover some ground. But seeing some of these early prices fora 72 is kinda crazy
