Franchise Player Progression Idea for 12

[JayD]

With Madden 12 concentrating more on franchise mode i think they should overhaul the player progression. Here is an idea, have player ratings increase or decrease every 4 weeks of your franchise depending on how your player has performed throughout the season. If a bench player plays well and increases his overall rating to the point where it is greater than a starter at that position then he should get the start, or if the starter struggles and decreases in rating then the bench player of that position should get a shot at a starting spot. Have the User and CPU reorder depth charts every 4 weeks and this will allow bench players to get a shot at some playing time and who knows you may find the next pro bowler who sat on the bench most of his career. Position battles should also make a come back so preseason will actually mean something. These would be nice additions so you'll actually see bench players play more often and not just because of injuries and see players benched for poor performance.

There's a ton of progression threads, post this in one of those.
