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.

Do back up progress/can they progress without significant playing time?

Not quite sure, that will be something I check the next season I sim. Took a break for a while to watch some pre-season games. So a bit later tonight i'll sim the third season.

What about Kain Colter?

He had a few snaps, but for the most part Romo shut him up. Passed for over 3000 yards, only with 16 TDs and 12 INTs though. For now his job is safe.

Do imported draft class players get the same equipment they had in college? Does Clowney have dreads and does tajh boyd have the revo speed helmet, etc

EDIT: this also might be a stretch but can you play CFM as a player with other people on the same team online?

8 man practice squad?
46 man Game Day Roster?

I.R. Fixed? In '13 is you placed a player on I.R. who was out for 8 weeks at the beginning of the season to clear a needed roster spot. When he was healthy in week 9, but couldn't come off Injured Reserve, this would cause a freeze of the game if you went into Depth Chart during the game.

I.R. - Is there a exemption where we can place a player on I.R. but bring one player back after 8 weeks? New rule in NFL!

Audio Presentation, does it follow your ccf through the years? (I know, playing games needed here...)

Specific Commentary for Pre-Season, Reg Season, Playoffs, Super Bowl?

How are trades during the draft? Are they announced at who received what? etc etc

In Depth info kept? Trades, Signings, Cuts, Drafts......where you can go back and look years later in your CCF.

Playoff stats kept? Super Bowl stats kept?

Injuries, are they different (ACL, MCL, PCL, Rotator Cuff, Lis Franc, Hip, Concussion, etc. etc.)

Can Players get Injured during Practice?

Do Injuries carry over to next year? If a player tears his ACL in week 17, is that player still injured during Pre-Season the following year.

Can Players get injured Off the field, that just happen during the week or Off-Season?

Will players negotiate a contract better? Instead of stopping the negotiating when they don't like any offer.

Is there a rookies free agent signing after the draft, where we bid on the remaining undrafted players?

Are CPU teams carrying the MAX number of players during the Pre-Season?

How are many QB's are the CPU teams carrying during the Pre-Season?

Are CPU teams signing veteran QB's to back up their starters OR are they going with rookies?

Any trades leading up to OR at the trade deadline?

How are making trades? tough, fair, easy?

How is trading for players on other teams trade blocks?

After trading for a player who's contract is up after the season, do you get a chance to re-sign that player during the season?

Will CPU teams pull their starters when blowing a team out or when they are getting beat badly?

CPU teams will pull their starting QB during a game? If so, how does the Audio Presentation handle this? Old School Madden, Pat Summerall would mention when a change was made, just noting.

I'm not a big equipment guy so i'm not sure the accessories they're supposed to be wearing. Clowney didn't come out in the draft class I imported..

And i'm not sure about your second question, I don't play online at all. I do however know that you can have up to 32 people as either a coach, owner or player. Maybe what you're asking for works, but I wouldn't have any idea on how to try it.
