Greg Robinson is still in the league 8 years on, playing for the texans 67-70 OVR with 7 Pblock and 83 Rblock. Jake Matthews took a dive early on (to the 60's) but came back and now plays for the Chargers with 93PBK. Funny thing happened with my Vikings team though, they didn't allow many sacks in the 1st season, even though progression was set to user and CPU prog was "end of season", the Vikings OLine PBK and RBK went up a few points every few games... but I can't tell if it used experience or not. However, there is a new bug in town... QB and OLine AWR regression... See my newest bug post for details... considering opening up a thread to talk about the very flawed AWR progression for QB and OL http://www.operationsports.com/forum...post2047647672

Oh heck, seemed to me my AWR regression improved. Pre-patch I simmed a season and Mariotta dropped like 6 pts overall. I went into progression to see why and his awareness had dropped to FOUR(4).
I used all my xp points to get it to 47 and his overall went up.

It was the very first thing I checked post-patch. His awareness went from 60 to a 55 first simmed seasons, tried again and it went from 60-57, so I thought it was fixed.

Well I really enjoyed Madden 2005!!!

I wish they would have took their time like they originally said versus forcing out a broke patch just to get it out for the NFL season start

This patch had zero to do with getting it out in time for the season. They had to rush it out because of the bug rendering CFM unplayable for some. If not for that they would never have put a patch out this soon. First patch historically was generally not until October.

I've been very happy with the connection to the community the Madden team has been. Just sent a tweet to new ratings master about Solder's new contract; I wrote: NE's LT Nate Solder new contract is 3 years 27.5m, contract update.

He replied 2 minutes later saying "Got it".

Wow

I think they are still working on all the roster moves. I'm excited for Friday.

How do yall know that auto advancing instead of actually playing it out isn't the issue? Not saying it is but wouldn't playing it out be more of a accurate measuring tool vs advancing because the CPU stats might be jacked up..

Is the OL regression considered game breaking?

I was wondering the same thing myself. Not sure if that was mentioned by anyone and I missed it. Wondering if playing through as opposed to simming the game would offer different results. Things could be set up to react to how you play/manually control events on the field.
