Have you simmed thru the second season yet?

[Gosens6]

So I simmed the second season, then went through every teams stats to find some "breakout" players. I picked the guys I thought had the most successful season without any hype surrounding them. Iv'e included their stats and what their overall rating is now at..

Tahj Boyd - 2,163 Yards, 12 TDs, 6 INTs (Now at 82 Overall, drafted a 77)

Terrelle Pryor - 1,153 Yards, 5 TDs, 3 INTs (Now at 79 Overall, was a 75)

Christian Ponder - 3,717 Yards, 27 TDs, 10 INTs (Now an 82 Overall, not sure what his original rating was)

Lamar Miller - 1,224 Yards, 7 TDs (Now an 85 Overall)

Giovani Bernard - 915 Yards, 4 TDs

Eric Decker - 96 Catches, 1,271 Yards, 7 TDs ( Now an 86 Overall)

Santonio Holmes - 108 Catches, 1,668 Yards ( All the way up to 95 Overall)

Emmanuel Sanders - 92 Catches, 1.317 Yards, 8 TDs (Up to 90 Overall)

Braylon Edwards - 86 Catches, 982 Yards, 9 TDs (Now an 84 Overall)

Antonio Brown - 124 Catches, 1,716 Yards, 9 TDs (Now a 90 Overall)

---

This tells me that progression works correctly, and it's awesome. These guys had great years, and some of them had their overalls shoot WAY up.

Now, on the regression side of things, these 30+ HBs are getting hit hard.

Steven Jackson is down to an 82 overall, and lost his job to LaGarrette Blount midway through the season.

Frank Gore is now an 83 Overall, with 25 year old, 81 rated Mikel Leshoure creeping up at 81

Maurice Jones Drew just hit 30, he's rated at a 90. Should go down during of after next season

Reggie Bush just hit 30, had an off year and saw his ovr descrease by 4 points to an 87

DeAngelo Williams exceeded everyones expectations and had a pretty decent year, he's at 81 overall

All in all, i'm LOVING the way progression and regression works. It's even more prominent in young QBs who have great years. EJ Manuel of the Bills is all the way up to a 90 Overall after leading the Bills to the playoffs for the first time since 1999, CJ Spillers clocks in at a 93.

I don't think guys have to do too much worrying about progression being messed up.

Didn't take a snap the entire season. Bradford did decent I suppose.
