    Progression makes dynasty mode unplayable

    Every off season each player gains anywhere from 3 to 10 points in his overall rating. This makes it nearly impossible to distinguish one player from another a few seasons into dynasty mode. I was simming to see what the rosters look like after a few years and found that after 3 full seasons--- there were 18 players with a 99 rating and over 100 in the 90's. Each team boasted at least 10 players in the 90s (barring the lower tier teams, but even they looked stacked.)

    It is no fun to play a game where every player is within 7 points of each other.

    Is this legit? Do all players jump up a ton?

      If this happens every dynasty and isn't fixed, that'll do it for me.

            yeh this is kinda true, those 7 point jumps in overall rating are too frequent.

                  Can't be serious. Can someone confirm this?

                    I think the problem is that they weren't consistent with their changes to dynasty mode.

                    They said that they changed it so that recruits come in rated much lower than in the past years but progression is much quicker. However, the freshmen on the default roster(by that I mean the one off of EA Locker) are just as highly rated, if not higher, than in the past. My theory is that many of the freshmen on the default roster progress as quickly as the generated recruits are supposed to; however, most of them are more highly rated than future generated recruits will be. Because of this, there will be many 90's in the first few years of dynasty.

                    Again, this is just my theory.

                        This development team released the game. Do you really need further proof? At this point I assume EVERYTHING in this game is screwed up.

                          I'll definitely sim 10 years into the dynasty to see how the overall ratings looks like for the entire NCAA. That would show if your theory stands.

                              I have not seen one player regress yet, Although I haven't played it enough yet to make an official statement.
