End of season progression?

You could argue that regression is a legacy thing too, though. They've had it in past games, after all.

TBH, I'd love to see more legacy code stripped out and the game cleaned up before too many more features get implemented. And I'd love to see a cleaner CCM.

So, implementation, clean it up! Implementation, clean it up!

There is still progression and regression but not as significant as previous years. You won't see 5-10 point increases like before but I've seen players increase 1-2 points. Like in my Bills CCM awhile ago, I traded for Kellen Moore and he went from a 67 to 69 after a 9-7 3,800 yard season. After buying XP packages, he was 73.

Maybe it was due to not being a consistant starter In M12 it was quite important for players to be starters on the depth chart, in order to progress well. Maybe it still has an impact in M13?

Just curious but what do you all prefer for progression? Weekly, every four weeks, or end of season? What seems to work best in CCM? I heard weekly is bad because the CPU doesn't save any XP and just spends it when they get it.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this, but I think I remember reading somewhere it's because of the season goals.

Each player has a season goal in 4 tiers. I don't remember exactly how it was, but if you didn't hit tier 2 or 3 the player would regress, regardless of age, in the offseason.

Could this be what's happening?
