Players Regressing During Regular Season Too Soon?

IDK i prefered the old franchise so much more then current gen.

Please refrain from posting in a manner such as this which serves no purpose than to derail the current discussion.

Thank you

I made a short video, although the steps are pretty basic to test for yourself.

-Make a new franchise
-Sim to week by week
-Check development history under game prep

It does appear that this is only happening to O-line and QBs.

I just simulated 1 season all the way through the super bowl to the next off season and looked at the rosters for LT's PBK rating, and matched it up with the excel spreadsheet that has all the ratings.


Below are some players, and how much their Pass Block Rating changed after just one year:


Bushrod: - 11 points
Cordy Glenn: -1
Clady: +1
Joe Thomas: -5
Jared Veldheer: -10
King Dunlap: +3
Eric Fisher: +4
Brandon Alpert: -19
Beatty: -15
Joeckel: -13
D'Brick: -20
Greg Robinson: -24 (his PBK is a 49)
Kalil: -17




RBK is not affected - it fluctuates about 1-3 points in both directions.


RT are also not affected - most of their PBK ratings fluctuate 1-3 points with the occasional guy jumping up or down 6-7 points - which is normal.

Has anyone tested if this happens in Season 2 as well? If not, maybe moving all LT to RT would be a quick fix for online CFM's.

For offline, I'm not sure if AI controlled teams would start a higher rated RT at LT or not. If they do, then maybe this would work.

Added your video to the first post just so you know I edited your initial post!

Poor Greg Robinson. Even the Madden gods hate the Rams lol.

Wanted to point out that players regress during the first stage of the off-season, which is normal. If they miss their season goals or get too old, they will drop a few points. It is best to get your final results during the playoffs, so you can see how much they regress due to the glitch only.

My understanding is the intent of in-game drive goals was to boost XP earned for individual players.

And now it looks like if your not meeting the in game drive goals it is regressing LT's and QB's.

Fair to say that? If so this can't be the intent of this feature and I am sure it will be hot fixed (server side)/patched (offline).

I was going to ask if this issue has been tested with the user playing games instead of simming.
Then I remembered that the game is not out yet and that the time needed to do that isn't available yet.
Still i am curious.
