Yeah, too many times, I super sim punt returns, FG, Kickoffs...

Missing way too many XP's on super sim, too many punt returns and kickoff returns go for TD's on supersim.

No changes to awareness? Rest of the list is great though.

One concern though, when they say raised all recruits. Does that include the higher 4* and 5* players because I thought those players were fine as is. Don't want to see a ton of 90+ players.

After taking a quick look at the recruits in simulated season with usc it looks like the recruits came in a little higher. Progression is still not really high, all players gained between 1 and 5 points. SC didn't have a great season (8-4) but still i think it would be nice if the players would progress a little more.

They provide a lot of detail on the grades of future teams, but not a lot of details about the individual rating changes.

Overall, the numbers look good, but I'm still slightly skeptical about the WR and K ratings.

Oops, should've read more closely...

"Some additional LTP changes will not be put into place until after Title Update 2 (currently estimate is in Mid-August). More details to follow, but we expect to address items such as Kicker and Awareness Progression."

After looking at the incoming freshman after year one, i'd say the highest freshman were rated between 83 and 84. So that is ok for me.

I guess I should have as well. May have to wait till then to actually start my dynasty if that is the case.
