Yea I stand corrected too. I couldn't quite remember where the stock rosters stood. I am cool with all of it, just happy I can finally start my CFM. 81 to 86 speed boosts are pretty good, I am hoping people were not expecting speeds to go up to 90 or so.....

Yeah, countering the rookie WR speeds was part of the intent. I felt it was the best option we had available to us to narrow the gap between rookie WR's and veteran DB's. Also community feedback was pretty consistent about some of these guys speeds being way off base, so hopefully you guys are happy with the changes.

I loaded the out-of-the-box roster, sorted CB's by age, took photos of all CB's 30 and up, then loaded the Updated roster, and compared.
Here are the SPD changes for players 30 and Up (several players from the original roster are not on the Update, at least not at CB anymore):
T Newman 0
L Mathis +3
C Tillman +4
B Grimes +5
T Williams +1
T Jennings 0
J Joseph 0
A Cromartie 0
A Jones 0
D Hall 0
B Browner +5
C Williams 0
Z Bowman 0
M Jenkins 0
L McKelvin 0
T Brown 0
W Gay +3
A Ball +3
J Wilson 0
L Hall 0
R Island 0
R Marshall 0
G Toler 0

Big thanks to Rex & Company for allowing Miami's default roster to have no FB!

Best roster update ever on that fact alone!

Thank you Rex! Great job on these rosters

It's kinda freaky looking at the injury list.

Yeah, I was just gonna say, the Grimes one jumped out at me immediately since he was at like an 80-81. I'm thankful they did this at least.
