No where does it say entire team earns xp each week.At most it says :

"Each gameplan will give XP to two position groups. For example, many passing gameplans benefit your QB and WR groups while many rushing gameplans benefit your HB and OL groups. "

and then goes on to say "To give you more control on how your team develops, you will select three players to focus on each week. These players will get extra XP so they can develop into the players you need for your team"



This year you can focus on 3 players by doing drills or a max of 6 people just letting it "sim" the prep and get xp.

Ive not been able to really improve players that well, due to lack of xp . While im all for not improving entire team in 2 seasons to 90 overall player. I think adding 10 more people to want to try to improve in practice squad will be hard to do when you have 33 other players who dont start , that need improving already...

And sorry im not this mess up as its something grand.They are the ones who touted a new focus on Franchise and delivered this bs. Not my fault im not just gonna eat it up and love it.Gameplay sounds like it got deep improvements, this is just weak in comparison.Especially when Rex , when talking about cfm blogs said " Saving the best for last!"

I already stated thats a bad statement considering how well and how much seems was improved in gameplay alone.Thats a huge order to live up to, and this clearly doesnt.But hey if your pleased with the tiny improvements and more bs for casuals, thats cool.Im not at all happy about it.The only thing i liked i heard was about gameplanning and knowing more info on opponent im playing in cfm, but even that i need more details on. Hope its gives good data on them and not just a few of their fav plays and thats all.

If this isn't the right thread for this, somebody please direct me to the correct one, can we please get a petition for a way/option to completely hide XP and goal visuals? Seeing as how this thread is about community requests and them being listened to, I believe such an option would have overwhelming support. I completely understand that currently we can choose to set progression to "auto" but that's not enough, imo.

I'm not asking for a rewrite or them to remove XP and goals, I'd settle for an option to just move it all under the hood, so it works the same as on "auto" but none of it is displayed, ever. Not the goals nor the XP, none of it ever seen by me or anyone in a league with this option used. I still feel stats determining progression is wrong but at least I wouldn't be reminded of it or directly effected by it from others in a league.

Considering the added that ability for the new ticker, hopefully something like that to hide it overall can potentially be patched. I've previously posted how I think all the new things are good additions, the Xp and goal visuals don't compliment them well though, imo.

Thanks ea.This is so dang disappointing right now. Big Moments---- not interested Key moments- I only play in online league... wont ever touch this. #LETDOWNCITY #WHYAMISURPRISED

Im trying not to bash EA but i was hyped and honestly its the same thing every year a few new bells and whistles , in the meantime game play still needs quite a bit of work , and franchise could be much better and the regression just kills the cfm to me ...

We get around 30 people in our online leagues and by year 7 players have ridiculous attributes like 55 speed at wr for example or draft a wr with 99 spd 80 acc ... doesn't even make sense ..

I appreciate they are finally addressing the defensive coverage and supposedly the blitzes (we'll see) but every year there is a lot of flash and hype and it never enough substance ..

Im not hating on rex and company maybe its the marketings fault for selling a dream every year ...

PLEASE EA next year just STFU and make the game better !

[PVarck31]

Just as a heads up. If you are unhappy about the additions or unhappy they didn't add something you want, that's fine. Express it constructively. And many of you have, and that is great.

But if you insult the developers, like telling them to "STFU" then you will be banned.

If you are that angry about a GAME, then take a step back before you post. Take some deep breath's and then come back and express your frustration constructively.

Thank you.

Since it doesn't at this point look like there is anything else, I just have to say I am disappointed. I think it's more because of the "renewed" focus on franchise statement that was made. There are some nice things that were added but so many things that were not touched (at least not announced). I'll try it in ea access and then decide from that if I am going to buy it this year.

While I am impressed that they added practice squads and implemented them properly, what I've bolded in your post is exactly right. There is no reason to use the hours of GP to develop a guy on your practice squad. No one who plays in an online league will ever do this so the feature is completely wasted in that environment. If he was a guy who you REALLY wanted, you would have him on your active roster and be playing him to earn the XP much faster. HowAbout is correct. You're not going to use your precious game prep on a practice squad scrub when you can barely use any of it on backups who are on the active roster. It's nice they added it, but it's not going to be useful.

EDIT: What they could have/should have done is allocate GP specifically for practice squad players in addition to your regular GP hours. This would give you more incentive to progress some PS guys. Then you would also have to make some decisions once a guy gets decent enough. You'd have to worry that you progressed this guy and another team comes along and snatches him up.

That's up to a player and players agent. Sometimes a player will stay on a teams practice squad instead of signing with a different teams 53 if the current team pays the player the same as an active roster spot. The player/agent may decide that familiarity with the current team and a chance at the 53 the next season is better than taking a chance on a new team. I've seen the Packers do this. But it's up to the player and players agent to give the current team this opportunity. You are right, it's not automatic.
