Anyways.

I'll try and get #3 up some time tomorrow. I'll answer your questions then. No need to post more questions. I'm off to bed. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on this one.

Can't wait for more questions to be addressed.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A: Day 2 (Player Progression Info)

Someone should ask about whether teams like the Panthers will split carries between their two backs the next time Steve does a Q&A

You can just, adjust the auto subs (if they are in). I got it to work well in NCAA.

Can you setup the auto subs for each team individually and for the teams that you're not controlling?

Interesting that Greg Olsen regressed after his 3rd season in the league

I know I saw somewhere someone who has played madden 10 alreadys said that Williams had over 110 yds (at least) and Stewart had 80 yds. So I'd guess they do but you should still probably ask to make sure.

Progression looked pretty good IMO.

For #3, Id like to see him sim a season once again from a new franchise and see if the players progress exactly the same as the one he did tonight.

In Madden 09 I like to play franchise after franchise and sim seasons, and every new franchise id start progression would just about be identical in each of them.

So perhaps for number 3 you could sim a season once again and compare it to this one;

Bears

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A: Day 2 (Player Progression Info)

i dont like the progression at all to be honest. they said it was based on potential and season performance...but i refuse to believe that the majority of the of the first rounders get a 5, 6, or 7 point boost.

all the 1st rounders from last year got the same boost too. i doubt everybody had good years, i just think its really suspect and madden may have the same problem ncaa had (with the high progression and too many stars). thats almost guaranteeing 32 stars every year

I think all of this past years 1st rounders were given high potential ratings and that is why they all progressed so much. I think once you start seeing the draft classes that were made by EA that includes guys that will be busts, you will stop seeing the automatic progression of first round picks

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A: Day 2 (Player Progression Info)

I think those progression/regressions are too high, especially since they stretched out the ratings to keep the star players different from the others. If every young player goes up 4-6 points each year, by like year 3, we are going to see a ton of 90+ rated players. I love the rating progression and potential rating, but I just feel those are too high for a one year span

[AnArtofWar]

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A: Day 2 (Player Progression Info)

^ I agree...that is scary. I don't think they have potential for this year's rookies though...but +6's and 7's is alarming if that is for each player...it should be more like +3 or -3...except for a few on each side(losing ovr or gaining ovr)

I plan on dropping every rookie's awareness by 10 points before I start my franchise to try and prevent something like what you mentioned from happening

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A: Day 2 (Player Progression Info)

First thing i noticed too was the rookie ratings going up by +6 thats alot dont get me wrong their will be a few guys that deserve that after 1 year but not all of them.
