Madden NFL 18 Video - Franchise Mode Player Progression Tips & Regression Changes

[DeuceDouglas]

I don't get the changes to regression. So if a guy has 90 speed, he'll be at 90 his whole career but if he's at 89 he'll still start dropping 2 every year? Seems like another band-aid rather than addressing the actual problem.

Sadly was not mentioned.

From what I understood he said players 90 speed or higher will drop, and stop dropping at 90. Players below 90 won't drop. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: yeah, he specifically says "Anyone below 90 will not change their speed"

I do agree that's a really bad way to handle speed regression. It doesn't make any sense.

Okay, that makes a bit more sense. Still seems really strange though. I'm sure the blog will touch more on this but just based on this video it seems like they've taken a really odd approach to it.

They could have reduced the chance of a player losing speed or made it so it happens every 2 years or something. Or, you know, add a player trait to separate those who regress more then others. Capping all players who regress at 90 OVR speed seems like the absolutely simplest, uninteresting thing they could have done. Very underwhelmed with the progression/regression changes. It feels more like a band-aid then an improvement.

Exactly that, a band aid. Cfm is a complete afterthought this year. Disappointing, it's literally the only mode I play.

This sounds ok, but the whole regression system needs about 10 more changes like this.

If it's a bandaid then it got applied by a doctor or a nurse because that's a sweet fix. I too want a lot from CFM and this is a small thing but having darelle revis playing with 65 speed ruined games later on in CFMs so this is a big fix. The speed guys have doesn't change at dramatically as they had it changing before and this is a safe way to fix it. I'm very glad they did this.
