40 yard dash ratings

[Mitch-Oilers]

To help coaches relate "real-life" 40 yard dash times to our FBPRO SP ratings, I put together an experiment in the play editor. Here's are the results:

Player A - 84 SP 86 AC 91 AG 66 ST 91 EN 95 IN 95 DI
Player B - 80 SP 86 AC 91 AG 66 ST 91 EN 95 IN 95 DI
Player C - 76 SP 96 AC 91 AG 66 ST 91 EN 95 IN 95 DI
Player D - 71 SP 96 AC 91 AG 66 ST 91 EN 95 IN 95 DI

40 yard dash times:

Player A - 4.20 (84 SP)
Player B - 4.40 (80 SP)
Player C - 4.70 (76 SP)
Player D - 5.00 (71 SP)

I have a typo in the Player C and D ratings. The AC should be 86 for both players.

Did you check the times with both SP and AC adjusted? I only ask because the fathers of the PNFL seemed to say changing both affected the time. Would be interesting to see

[Mitch-Oilers]

I only adjusted the SP rating. All the other ratings stayed the same.

How did you conduct this test? Did you create a player where the player just runs down field 40 yards? How did you time that run accurately, down to the tenth of a second

@Dean

- I created a play in the PE that had both slot WR run 40 yards straight up the field

- I edited the player's ratings as shown in my previous post

- I ran the play several times focused on one of the players using a stopwatch to clock the times

- I averaged out the times for the player to come up with their time

- I rounded the averages for simplicity

[Dean-Atlanta]

You were manually timing them with a stopwatch? What is the reaction time to licking that, and what is the margin of error of such a test?

[Mitch-Oilers]

- yes
- I don't know
- try it yourself
