Some players seem to have a higher value for dribble speed than top speed. Does this mean they are faster at dribbling than running? Doesn't seem very likely, so is dribble speed relative to top speed? eg a player with top speed of 75 and dribble speed of 80 can dribble at 80% of 75?

Dribble Speed refers to change of pace on the ball. Diouf's got a very good change of pace. It's on-the-ball acceleration, basically. 
Hope that helps.

I think "acceleration" is all about change of pace on the ball. To me "dribble speed" means the difference in a players pace with or without the ball at his feet. ie a player with DS 99 is virtually as fast dribbling with the ball as they would be without it.Marijuana Iguana said:Dribble Speed refers to change of pace on the ball.

top speed is their max speed w/o a ball
dribble speed is more like a percent
Ex.
Player has the following stats
Top Speed: 83
Dribble speed: 76
That means when they have the ball the fastest they can dribble is 76% of that 83, which is 63.
Make sense?

It does make perfect sense, similar to what I believed.
I think in practice this isn't true, however. I'm pretty sure the change of pace on the ball is what Dribble Speed effects. Konami's description would suggest so as well.
Clearly, if someone has 50 Top Speed, and 99 Dribble Speed, they won't be very quick on the ball, but their change of pace (i.e. Dribble Acceleration - how quickly they get to their top dribbling speed) will be very high.

Dribble speed and accuracy are the key to making room for your attacker. A high balance helps to, otherwise they'll fall over everytime. And to get a shot off in time, a high response is another good stat to have.
Top speed, shot accuracy and attack are important, but there's not much point in trying to take on a defender if the dribble ratings are so low that you'll lose the ball each time.

Ok, will do. The link in my sig is from a thread about 3 months old or so.. So indeed it's probably inaccurate.

dribble speed means how fast u can dribble with a ball, how fast u do stepovers, how fast u can change direction with the ball when holding l1, top speed is just running at full speed and acceleration is how much it takes to get to full speed

Defintely true. I find some players would blow over in a breeeze, much less stand upto a tackle.
Kewell is very seems very 'light-weight' for his skills, so I'll have to check his balance value.
My dribbling skills only really improved when I stopped using just my 2 index fingers for the shoulder buttons, and started using a finger each for L1, R1 and R2. I hadn't realised how much variation I'd been missing, especially the R1+R2 super-speed dribble.
What's the speed burst that kicks in with the Left Analogue stick? Is it R2 + a diagonal shift on the stick?
Edited to add...oh I checked:
Super Sprint: Knock the ball further than normal to burst away from your opponent.
Whilst sprinting with
It's essential for getting a SMF past his opponent down the outside for a cross, or for carrying the ball quickly through an empty midfield during a break.
