TDawg3782's Madden 20 CFM Progression Tool

[mattpio48]

This might be a stupid question. I started my franchise at week 1 in the regular season and once I got to the franchise main menu I turned all the xp sliders to zero. Is this correct? Also, it says that I have players that have upgrades what do I do? Wait for my first progression and then upgrade them?

Yes you zero out XP Sliders.

When you start a franchise players already come with XP. Some are very close to gaining a Skill Point. Even with XP Sliders at zero a small amount can still get accumulated. Not enough to worry about however. So the upgrades you are seeing are the guys who were very close to earning a Skill Point. Just upgrade them. No biggie. You won't see it again.

TD.. would it be possible to incorporate some sort regression to player ratings due to injuries they suffer? Ex: a guy has a complete ACL tear his agility goes down -3 or something. Seriously considering getting a PC build in the next week or so and switching to Madden on PC this year. Loved seeing what you and the community did with mods this year.

Is there a Madden 21 version of this tool? I heard it was available on the Discord but I'm not finding any links to it.

Here is a generalized idea on how it works: Every player above 4 years experience and above 79 ovr (no more progression) gets a regression rate. The rates are 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%. The higher the better. That is the percentage of skill points lost that gets added back on. All players below 80 ovr get a 0% (or default regression rate). Players with less then 4 years experience are exactly the same except we look at their potential ovr and not actual ovr. Players have a 59% chance off getting a 25% regression rate, a 20% chance of getting a 50% regression rate, a 15% chance of getting a 75% regression rate, and a 5% chance of getting a 100% regression rate. Nothing gets added back to a player until they start to regress.

If I read this correctly does that mean players no longer progress after four years? And also, I like the idea of this tool preventing the ridiculous regression in the game itself, but I don't think it can prevent a QB losing 6 overall in his 10th year, but merely replaces lost points?

The way I understand from reading so far is that a player in week 1 year 1 gets assigned a potential through some formula including the dev traits. The difference between their current rating and that potential results in skill points (similar to the XP points from the default game?) that randomly get assigned 3x per year through years 1-6 according to probability? How is the potential determined? Do all players (assuming they're rookies in year 1) reach their potential? In Year 1 of a franchise, will a player who is a rookie develop more than a player who is already in 3rd year?

Just in general, what is your main issue with the XP system, how is this better and what should we notice different when we start using it?

I'm just an end user so I don't know all the nuts and bolts, but my understanding is the main benefit of this tool is unlike normal XP, it gives players who don't play a chance to hit some sort of breakthrough. This way an UDFA who is barely on your roster could by some act of God (aka the macros in the tool) have a huge development spurt and become a starting-caliber player. While that might be rare, with XP it's not possible unless you force them to play and earn XP, which isn't really a smart idea if you're trying to win AND want your late-round/UDFA players to potentially become studs.

Also, if you aren't already I would join the Madden modding discord server because it has its own tab for the tool and he is more responsive on there.
