I want on RB to have a quick initial burst, but I don't care much for open field speed.
Is quickness correlated to acceleration, or is speed?

no one knows. But testing proves quickness is a factor. Seems to be mostly speed though. Nobody really knows.

they're both factors in acceleration.

Quickness = acceleration
sprinting = top end speed

nope

quickness = ability to change direction quickly

that's the description, to say quickness = acceleration is just false.

this, sprinting primary, quickness secondary

theoretical Sprinting is the acceleration factor in a direct line

practical Quickness reduces speed loss when not running in a straigth line, also awareness skills improves pathing to target

in general people think quickness is acceleration cause it powers first step but no real proof

Sounds like quickness might affect speed lost in certain actions. Sprinting in a straight line (it seems) has a speed then moving around lowers your acceleration. I have not tested this, though. That is just what I'm gathering from this discussion.

galithor and i awhile back were testing the effect of quickness on combine scores and quickness was a tiny factor for the 40-yard dash. But it's mainly sprinting. Weather or not the combine is just a cosmetic tool or some hint at the actual game factors, no one knows. But I've been using it as a start for further testing, and quickness in my opinion gets you going. Generally traits and abilities are give aways as well, and 1st step is powered by quickness. Just sayn'.

Quick Inital burst from a stop = SA First Step.

sounds around right i know footwork is like the breaks really useful for db tracking down others.

Quickness mentions turning in it's tooltip so everyone thinks that's what you need for turning, but really footwork is the secret sauce to change direction smoothly. But if you lack quickness, it'll take longer to get back to sprinting.

Yep....
Footwork is for strafing, back pedaling and turning
Quickness is for acceleration
Speed is for top end speed
