Brees - 4027 - 34 - 14 - 622 - 6.5 - 60% 2. Stafford - 3929 - 21 - 12 - 578 - 6.8 - 63% 3. Peyton - 3772 - 33 - 5 - 536 - 7.0 - 69% 4. Foles - 3551 - 17 - 9 - 520 - 6.8 - 65% 5. Flacco - 3526 - 20 - 8 - 503 - 7.0 - 64% It's a combination of ATT and YPA. Last year, Brees finished with 650 ATT and 7.9 YPA. Stafford - 634 ATT, 7.3 YPA Peyton - 659 ATT, 8.3 YPA Rushing Attempts were up there: 1. Rice - 435 2. Tate - 385 3. Gore - 382 4. Ball - 380 5. Vereen - 377 Receiving looked good enough, could use some more yardage (but that goes hand in hand with passers). Some other very worrying things for CFM offline fans.... The following QB's regressed or stayed the same after 1 simulated season: Bortles, Jay Cutler, EJ Manuel, Geno Smith, Cam Newton (AWR went down 11 pts), Tom Brady (DRAMATICALLY regressed - all sub 80 accuracy), Brees, Big Ben (same as Brady, dramatically regressed), Rivers (same as Brady, Ben). I can't really find any good QB's after 1 season....Luck improved slightly (Med accuracy went up like 6 pts, but Deep ACC went down a few). This is not good...

So your telling me just sim week to week like you were forced too in 25?

I can live with that...

Is it just QB's that are not progressing, or everyone? I really hope this confidence thing didnt screw with progression. I can live with the fact that I need to take the extra time to sim week by week, but mess up progression and that just creates a whole new can of worms.

Possibly. I just simmed the second season, this time all at once and the stats looked worse. But here's some other notes that may make you rip your hair out.
Mind you, this is at the start of Season 3 of my CFM:

- The Bears have Tannehill, Cutler, and Roethlisberger all on their team....and their starting QB is a rookie who's a 78 OVR (The other 3 QBs are 73, 70, and 63, respectively).

- Andrew Luck is NOT on the Colts. Kirk Cousins is their starter (77 OVR)

- Christian Ponder (73 OVR) is the Cowboys starter...

- Matt Ryan is NOT on the Falcons. Ryan Mallet is their starter...73 OVR

- Luck is on the Jaguars....ahead of Bortles (Luck is 83 OVR - awr and acc down)

- Rodgers is a beast, Stafford and Kaepernick are in the 94 range. Every other QB is very average.

- None of the rookie QB's drafted this year have progressed...

Yikes...

Guess its NCAA 14 after all...

I will just enjoy the rest of my 3 hours+change and pick up NHL 15 instead.

The player movement / development described above is even worse than the sim stats...

VERY disheartening, but good to know...

Thanks for the info!

This has to get fixed.


Wow. Beyond disappointing. Will EA even acknowledge this is an issue? In one of their live streams they just kind of brushed off some rando starting in the second season of their CFM by saying the would be/should be starter must've gotten hurt. Now it looks more likely that the sim engine royally screwed the progression and something similar to the above atrocity happened.

Out of curiosity -

Could anyone do a season simulation with injuries and simmed game injuries turned off? In the CW Sapp thread, it appears that plenty of quarterbacks are missing a large number of games with injuries.

I don't think that will 100% rectify the problem from the sounds of it, but I'm curious to know how much of an effect that has.

My stats from the previous page are with injuries off. It comes down largely to YPA.

If I'm reading all the stats correctly..issue is two fold (not including and confidence issue)..the big one obviously pass plays to run plays..and it appears there are too many negative pass plays ie sacks..as I saw one where the sack numbers are through the roof..anyone tried to supersim? Also maybe have to go old school Manifesto and adjust coach's
