Flawed QB AWR progression

[yankees028]

I just don't understand how people who this is just a side hobby that play a couple hours a day can ply test this and find these issues. How do ea sports justify that this is there full time job? I don't understand and I probably never will.

I will throw them a bone here as I guess making any game is hard... but with this many "moving parts" on a yearly development cycle, with so many layers of new stuff added to old code... wowee a tough task, so at least M16 is better than what colour lipstick shall we put on the pig this year :P

This doesn't just affect QB. It affects hb,wr, cornerback ect. I simmed 10 years and awareness is awful. I haven't checked defensive lineman and linebackers but I'm sure it's the same.

I simmed on every 4 weeks and end of season. Overall rating are really affected. I'm seriously just tired of discussing these flaws about connected career. I've known of this issue since last week. The first thing I do when I get madden is sim ahead years and search for problems.

This is getting to be to much. I just want to play. You could control every team and progress EVERYBODY. OP is correct. The computer don't put xp into awareness unless it has to. I've seen starters with awarness of 36, 47, 49 ect. They were in like their 3rd, 5th and 6th years. Really??? I'm done.

How many years has EA been making Madden? Surely they can get it right by now !!

Gosh, do some of you spend the $60 a year on this game just so you can find things wrong with it??

BUT....when it doesn't have all those points to dump at once, I could see it going for the cheaper option - and that's usually AWR.

Okay, here's his (Mariota's) progression and regression through the season. Like I said, this is the CPU making these decisions, not me:

Week 2: AWR +1, -2

Week 5: AWR +1

Week 7: AWR +1

Week 8: AWR +1, -1 (also a MAC hit of -1)

Week 10: AWR -1

Week 11: AWR +1

Week 12: DAC +1, MAC +1 (compensating for the earlier drop?)

Week 13: INJ -1

Week 14: AWR +1, -1

Week 15: -1 INJ

Wildcard: (you read that right): +1 AWR, +1 MAC, +1 SAC

Beyond this I can't tell because they lost the Divisional and the game prep window disappears. But he finished as an 80 OVR with AWR at 60 - the same as it was at the start of the season.



(that was a really ill-timed screenshot...lol. Sorry Burns)

I'm not saying that progression is okay - I really don't like the way that works. But if it continues like that, I can't imagine AWR bottoming out completely. The claim that the CPU completely ignores awareness should only be limited to end-of-season progression.

Thanks for testing.
