Why are weekly goals worth more than milestone goals?

[PRAY IV M3RCY]

I dont understand this xp system. Why on earth are the milestone goals so cheap. For instance I was rewarded 500xp for 4000 season passing yards however I get 577xp for 250 passing yards. I can get more xp in one session of practice than I can for winning five best qb awards. It doesn't make sense in my opinion did ea really think this out

I think the idea is that the main source of XP is the weekly and season ending XP, and the milestones are just bonuses.

I agree though, it seems counter-intuitive.

Milestones don't make you a good player. Weekly performance does.

think of it this way. An average QB could reach 10,000 yards with 4 or 5 average years as a starter. Tom Brady reaches it with 3 years of being Tom Brady. But they aren't the same level. The real difference is how they play week in week out.

Milestones don't mean everything and the absoloute definiton of that is a negative milestone. The man to throw the most interceptions in history is of course Brett Favre. Would anyone say he's a terrible QB? nope, because his week on week play was that of a superstar. His play style, and the amount of time he stayed in the game accounted for so many INT's but no one would ever say he was rubbish.

So imo, that's why milestones aren't too much XP and rightly so.
