A DB with 99 speed and not pressing should not get beat on a streak?? right??

If I play my outside DBs with 99 speed in Man, I understand if I dont press, I can get beat on slants, crossers, etc - its the compromise I make to not give up the big play deep

But I never imagined in 100 years, I would still get beat on straight streak routes if I dont press, but give cushion

Might as well press everytime, if even with cushion, I still get beat deep

We are reaching the point of the game where all stats are close to being mid to high 90s and they all play the same. You're right though but the game is awful

In theory a lot of it depends on COD, reaction time , acceleration, Play rec....a DB with 99 speed shouldn't get beaten in a straight up footrace by a card with lower speed...but coverage is different. I've seen slower NFL players beat faster ones on streaks ...if the DB doesn't immediately clear his hips and burst into a full sprint, it's possible , sure....but if play rec is high, COD is high, accel is high, etc...then yeah, that's just Madden for you.

It depends on the COD, Coverage Stat, and Release + RR of the WR you're up against.

People sleep so heavy on awareness

Awareness is generally a rating that affects offense. The equivalent on defense is play rec. That's why on offensive cards when you do a quick comparison AWR is there and when you compare Defensive cards PRC is there

It's also AWR vs PRC

This is absolutely false. Awareness is a universal stat. The strategy card film study for cornerbacks is solely an awareness boost. Main reason I have Charles Woodson at a boosted 99 awareness. But to each their own. Champion ranked 4 seasons running. Always room to improve tho

It was Deion CB that got beat by Deion WR

Awareness on all new cards is pretty much over 90

Yeah 90 on itself at this point is trash. 95 minimum. 99 preferred.

His AWR and his PRC is 91

In theory, Yes, and in a game code correctly your assumption should be correct. However this is madden ultimate team 25 created by Electronic Arts EA, so, NO! a 99 speed player not pressing should be beaten and MOSSED by a 5'10 94 speed player!
