Interesting lack of growth...
 

I'll preface this a bit. I drafted a defensive tackle, and switched him over to nose tackle for me for the 3-4 to play this season. He started the preseason 26/51(15/66 RD, 30/50 PRT, 50 PRS, 14/21 PD, 56 PH, 16 END). He didn't get hurt at all....ALL season...he played in over 930 plays defensively, and posted some very, very good stats considering his ratings, and bars.

48 tackles, 19 assists, 6.5 sacks, 2 blocked, 3 hurries. 7.8 tk%
442 RPLY, 495 PPLY

I get to the end of the season...and the button has already been pressed for the end of the season(we're in Coach Hiring), and this DT is STILL at 26/51!!

I've never seen a rookie who got extensive playing time, and actually produced(very well, considering he was a NT in a 3-4 and got 6.5 sacks, lol), not get any sort of 'progression'. Has anyone else had something like this happen? I've been playing FOF for about 8-9 months now...am I just looking at some sort of anomaly? Because to me, it seems like he's for certain outplaying his bars.

Thoughts?

This sort of thing happens rarely enough that I doubt it's a bug, but just a slow-developing player. And 6.5 sacks with those very low blocked/hurry numbers would make me suspect that several of those sacks were just a case of luck of the dice in a few games against QBs with piss-poor sense rush. What were his knockdown numbers?

lol....ZERO knockdowns. lol...

Yup. He's not very good (at least not yet...he coudl develop)...just lucky on those sacks.

I'd gather this is the type of guy that often ends up in the 36/36 range.

I once had a 3rd year QB that, after developing normally the first 2 years, gained 0 experience points in TC. I was very worried, but in the end he finished developing as expected. Just bad dice rolls, I guess.
