Am I alone in hoping they leave the XP in franchise mode the way it is? Every year its been super easy to get a team of 90+ players after a season or two beacuse XP was too easy. I'm in season 4 of my CFM and looking around the league there is a nice variety of players ranging from 70's to 90's (starters)

This. Too many users are use to be able to take a rebuilding project and have single year turnarounds. I'm glad it is not as easy.

I have news for those guys, you are not football masterminds, you only took advantage of very generous progression.

going with you on this too. i'd prefer to work for my player progression, fully believe it should take time to shape a player to you liking, a lot of time.

Agreed. I love that it takes time to rebuild teams. Turning the Browns or Jags around in one year is NOT possible.

My $0.02 on the amount of XP debate is this:

I love that you get less XP in general this year and it's harder to develop players. You have to think more critically on which skills to increase and you can't just up all of a players skills.

Having that said, I still hope they increase XP you can earn maybe it 5%-10%, so that there is fractionally more to work with, but it's not like previous Maddens where you can jack up any player in a couple years.

I say that because some traits/development and some skills are VERY high priced. Either that, or they could slightly lower certain XP costs.

I also think they should WAY tune down Drive Goals, and give CPU controlled teams a small bump in XP from simulated games, to "simulate" them having Drive Goals. That way the CPU can earn just as much XP as Human controlled teams. Also Drive Goals need to make more sense, I keep getting goals for like "run so many yards" when I'm down in the 4th quarter of a game and I need to be passing not doing running attempts.

If they could do that I'd be a happy camper.
