Glitch or not?

[Gozer2312]

I have a Freshman QB who started the season resshirting but started my second game because of injury. He was an ovr 74 and as the season progressed he would go up in many categories and he is now a 99 ovr. The guy who runs the league wants me to drop him because he says it has to be a glitch.

Anyone ever have this happen or hear of a glitch like this? I checked ea website and other websites but could not find anything regarding a glitch like this.

I haven't seen any like that before. The most I've seen a player improve during the season is probably +2 to overall. +8 to overall in the off-season.

I'm not gonna say its a glitch, nor am I gonna say you should drop him... but I will say that that is pretty peculiar. The game does have some really odd default ratings (like Robert Griffin from Baylor is WAY too high as a young QB) so its not impossible to have a highly rated young passer...

I guess the main question is: what kind of dynasty is it (powerhouse, 2 star etc....)... because if other teams have QBs in the same range I would say you lucked out.

I guess the biggest thing is if you have to cut him because he progressed 'too much', then you guys will have to start monitoring all player progression... and determine what makes it 'too much'... is it because he's a 99 or because he went up 25 points in one year? What determines 'too much'...? That may become a slippery slope you don't want to go down.

unless I read it wrong, I think he said the player went from a 74 overall to a 99 overall in 1 regular season. so it was just in-season progression. if that is what happen, then there definitely was something wrong.

if it was over a 4 year period, then that player just had good potential and progressed good.

Sounds to me like the guy who runs your league is scared of your QB! I think it would be pretty ridiculous for him to make you cut the guy just because he is all of the sudden highly rated.

To top it off the guy who runs the leafue has an A+ team and my team is a B-. Except for my 99 player his second team players would all start on my team.

I am the guy who runs the league.

I've played about 5-10 seasons worth of dynasties and have consistently monitored all the teams. No player has EVER gone up more than 1 point in a given week during the regular season. Yet this player has gone up 3-4 overall points EVERY week until he got from a 70something to a 99, and he's still going up.

If you look at in season progression, the only attribute that goes up is Awareness. This player goes up in awareness, speed, agility, throwing power/accuracy.

How can this be possible?

I'm not accusing him of cheating. All I am saying is that this was a glitch that should NOT have happened. Therefore, I told him he could use the player the rest of the season but he had to cut him next offseason.
