I think it’s a step in the right direction, but I’ve run 3 different test CFMs and simmed about 5 seasons in. I’ve noticed that tons of players are significant boosts in speed, acceleration, and agility. I even implemented the XP sliders in TDawg’s XP slider thread in my last test run and below are some of the results at the beginning of season 4:
Saquon Barkley had 95 speed, 98 agility, and 97 acceleration
Roquan Smith had 91 speed, 95 zone, and 91 man.
Zeke went up to 95 speed and 97 agility with 97 break tackle, 88 trucking, and 91 elusiveness.
Todd Gurley now has 95 break tackle, 86 trucking, 95 juking, 96 agility, and 97 elusiveness.
Marshon Lattimore now has 97 speed.
Derwin James went up to 94 speed, 95 man, 92 zone.
Jamal Adams went to 95 speed.
Alvin Kamara went up to 92 speed, 96 acceleration, and 95 agility.
I understand that these players are primed to be the most broken of all the younger players, however they still seem extreme. Roquan Smith became a cornerback/linebacker hybrid that frankly isn’t even imaginable. Derwin James became the second coming of Deion Sanders.
As someone who runs a 32 user CFM that goes 8ish seasons deep per Madden, these results are alarming and frankly disheartening. I like the randomness of the player progression, but I feel that athleticism attribute boosts are way too common and frequent and will ultimately lead to broken players, just through a different method and without intent.
