Need help deciding on who to start please!

I’m just not finding it very easy to determine who to start based solely on Attributes.

 For example, many choose to start 95 OVR Reggie Bush instead of 97 OVR Isaac Brown/Jordan Baugh/etc. This decision can‘t just come down to +1 or+2 better Rating in whatever relevant Attribute like Speed, Carrying, Break Tackle, etc. I’m looking for help understanding the appropriate way to compare players effectively, so without further ado:

• Does a +2 Speed rating offer that significant of an advantage at skill positions like QB/RB/WR/CB ? 
- If so, what particular ratings should hold the most weight when comparing players?

• How important is a players‘ frame to their success in CUT? 

— Will a small, light RB who’s 5’7” - 170lbs with the same stats as one whose 6’3” - 235lbs function differently? How and why?

- Same with both Offensive and Defensive Lineman and their ability to successfully block/defend, or LB with varying degrees of size and Hit Power? Any others to consider?

• I just don’t get why a 94 OVR Cam Ward is in the same conversation as 97 ANYONE quite frankly it doesn’t make sense, and I’m exaggerating these examples but realistically the stats at which to compare are MUCH closer and harder to gauge.

Abilities is the answer to your question Reggie gets Gold Shifty. Speed boost when you cut some times. It's well worth 1 or 2 ovr. 

Speed is the most important attribute alone. It does take a well rounded card to be that elite card however. Your "budget" cards as people call them are almost always someone with the Speed of the elite cards but lack in multiple other categories. 

Cam ward is still used as his Release (so getting rid of the ball) is by far the best in the game. Being able to hold onto the ball for another .25 seconds is huge to some people. 

Stature is taken into consideration in what animations you get so short answer is yes the size of your players matter. However the amount it matters is a pretty big debate. Height and jump make a huge difference for a WR and CB.

From my experience, a 5’11 175 wr runs the same as a 6’5 230 wr. haven’t tested extensively but I have a feeling that speeds vary more for positions rather than overall frame of the player

Don't forget DDA bud

Speed is super important on defense especially your backs. cause you never play them and they gotta not get cooked by themselves. And if you gotta play your dbs 4-5 yards back so they don’t get cooked you’ll expose yourself to the run, and if you safties are slow they be slow to close in and get burnt deep. COD is big on your user so you can move to the play. Height and weight don’t matter as much as they used to in older MUTs but obviously the bigger the better on defense. Cause they can have the same tackle and stuff stats but if you have a 170 lb Deion and a 210 6’3 corner the bigger ones gonna tackle better cause of momentum and stopping power. I’ve always thought some RBs just run funky and normally it’s the bigger the weirder but some big backs have ran well for me. but like the post above shifty does play a big part. But if you’re bigger theyll break more tackles and not get wear and teared as much. So it’s really up to what you prefer. WR though you always want to big cause you always want to be able to go up and get it and I don’t really notice a run differenvr between big and small receivers but my scheme my receivers aren’t really getting that much YAC so idk if it’s just me. MAKE SURE YOUR GUY GETS WORKHORSE. Its a make or break ability in the game and if thy ey touch the ball or make plays a lot they need it. My DLine all use it cause they get torn up without it. They recent made it easier to get so that should be on everyone but I’m not 100% sure. Hope this helps, sorry for yapping

you should consider to make a theme team and scheme team based on the offense u run. So whatever playbook u use get players that match that scheme I wouldn't worry about defense too much because a lot of positions are lacking on defense, but u should make an offensive scheme team.

at this point in the game theme teams yea scheme team no… we are at 97 speed cards no reason to waste coins/limit players to get to 99 speed when we are about to get 98 speed base
