Backups in CCM unplayable.

It takes 2,000 odd XP to upgrade different things. You can make 1000 per practice if you complete it. Something is not making any sense here, from you. 18 practices times 1000-1500 minus x = ???

Speed costs 19,000 points to upgrade, which is the obvious first priority as an 83 speed running back. juke move, in contrast, costs 2,500. That means I can increase my juke by a few points per season at best, which doesn't help my overall at all.

Oh, you're just trolling. Never mind.

I'm sorry, I'm trying to see the outrage in not starting a third string RB. I apologize for your decision to upgrade Speed 1 whole point instead of spreading out your XP over more important things like Carry, Elusiveness, etc. But hey, if you don't want help, pull out the "B-b-b-but he's trolling. " card.

Maybe your character just isn't cut out to make it in the league?

Why not improve lower-rated categories instead? Higher rated stats will take longer to improve because they use more XP. I'd use your XP on deficient categories instead of looking to upgrade an already-high rating. When your character gets more minutes and points, THEN focus on upgrading that area.

It's only year one and it's not a perfect system, I know, but...these are simple solutions, people.

Please explain how 83 speed is an already-high rating for a running back.

Or just start an online player CCM and start automatically before they patch that.

An 83 spd hb can still be successful. You're just not turning the corners on sweeps and tosses as much.
