Official S2 Start and Announcements

That's a good idea, take the speed cap off of interior rushers but limit their weight to about the 280 range.

You have to cap the speed though. If I'm not mistaken, the way the sim regards speed is regardless of weight or height. So a 90 speed DT will be exactly as fast as a 90 speed CB. There might be some RNG, and slight differences with Agility affecting it but overall that's pretty much how it works. So having a DT at 100 speed is just very unrealistic and if you made a 100 speed 280 lb DT it would be way too overpowered.

Reading the forum in the sim they were having problems with people converting 90+ speed CBs into edge rushers and them just dominating. So the developer added weight as a factor so these tiny 170 lb CBs would just get crushed by a lineman. As it stands now in order to be effective in the sim as a pass rusher, according to the wolverine studios forums, you need to weigh around 265 lbs. This shows me that the developer created some kind of momentum factor that's a product of weight and speed. So if we uncapped the speed stat for DTs it would create an imbalanced player with a far too dominant momentum factor.
