This is inspired by the IR petition out there.
There seems to be two very distinct schools of thought on the issue of progression.

The first side wants progression to be at least partially stats-based. If they have a 70-overall running back run for 1500 yards, they want that running back to increase in ratings. One reason behind this is that they feel there should be some award for individual player achievement. After all, running all those yards with a crappy running back is quite a feat.

The other side thinks the first opinion is silly, since if you are able to run 1500 yards with that 70 overall running back, he doesn't need to increase in overall ratings - he's where he should be. If you increase his overall rating, he will just run for even more yards next season. These people feel that progression should be based solely on things like age, coaching, and potential.

Here's the idea: Give us the choice

If you sign the petition, you are telling EA that you want the option of choosing between the two progression styles instead of having one or the other (or some hybrid of the two) forced upon you. Maybe some kind of slider is the answer.

Customization leads to happier gamers.

Signed. Give us the option to hide the overall rating.

Wonder how much extra this slider would cost.

Running all those yards with a lousy running back means either the team around him is amazing (specifically the o-line), the teams he faced were terrible, the user needs to adjust the difficulty level, or something is wrong with the gameplay engine.

I just don't understand this line of thought that because a player performs well at a certain rating number he should literally become a different and better player. It makes no sense. Just play the game on rookie if you want to dominate with junk players.

I guess we know which side of the debate you're on.
Do you support the petition though?

Well I know for fact this will not help for madden 10. Because they are done with patching madden 10 for the year. If this is about madden 11. This really need to go into the wishlist forum.

Or just make progression based on practices or repetitions and have a learning attribute.
