Edited Ratings and Progression

[Glorious Arc]

I changed Thomas Davis(Panthers OLB) to a 99 and his potential changed from a B to an A. I also changed J. Stewart(HB) and E. Brown(DE) to see if they will progress after the season ends and to see if Davis remains a 99.

Davis remains a 99 and does not regress back(he also does not progress further). I believe the game changes his potential to whatever his current overall is after it surpasses his original potential he was given(in this case it was a 86-87 something before)

Both Stewart and Brown progress. Stewart grew +6 overall and Brown grew +5 overall.

As for the person saying changing positions stunts a player, you are wrong. A player who's position is changed will progress at the position you make him. Example being if I changed Brown to a CB he would grow like a CB would. It is explained further in this thread.

I would like to know this as well. I mean Colt Brennan is ranked ovr 49. Come on his accuracy is off the charts better than cambell and yet he gets no respect in Madden. If I bump him up to where he is like a 65 ovr, and give him a B potential will he possibly progress into something stellar?

Thanks

I'm glad to hear that players who change position will progress. I was worried.

I had to change Justin Durant to MLB and Daryl Smith to OLB. I'd be pissed if my good young LBs wouldn't progress because of that.

A guy in my thread said you can't even edit player ratings. Please tell me this is WRONG.

Can I edit the ratings during a franchise as well? (Like NBA2k)

This next test, I will take Brennan and increase his overall past his potential(C grade). I will make him and Barnes(Rookie CB with C pot) an overall 82. I will also take campbell and increase him to a 90 and lower Portis to a 90. I use several players just in case. The Portis test is to see if lowering a player who is at max/near max potential but is fairly young, if he will progress back to his max potential. I will sim two seasons and edit my post with the results.

Portis may have been to old to try and lower his overall to watch him reprogress back to his max potential. I will try with Williams(Panthers RB) after this current test.

After season one, all three players remain the same overall. After the second season, all of the players did not progress any further.

You can edit player ratings, but not once your in Franchise Mode. So be sure to do all your edits before you start a Chise.

On top of this, do created players progress in franchise mode?
