Progression in Franchise Mode

[JeriousNorwood]

The biggest problem I had when your players would progress in the 360 version is that many times your player would go up around 3 speed each time. I understand catching, strength, and especially awareness-based ratings, but usually players don't get faster. Is there going to be anything done about this? It was pretty annoying after a few years having half the receivers in the game 99 speed while I'm pretty sure all of them were 90+. Any info on this?

As it has been said already. Ian and his crew has fixed that stuff. So don't worry yourself so much.

Re: Progression in Franchise Mode

Sure we had that blog but I still want examples of how will work.

Id love a blog on it alone.

For example in the blog we could have Campbell go down and Colt Brennan finally gets his chance, he is probably a 57 OVR rated QB, he ends up having a monster year, taking the Redskins to the SB, does that mean he'll go up to maybe 65?

And not just over a season, id like to see them take someone like Brennan and sim 5 years of franchise and see how he turns out.

While also showing other players with massive increases and some that have fallen from top ranks to 2nd stringers.

thank you i agree(speed should not increase very much at all....maybe +3 in the player's career---but not per year)

Yeah, they need to shows us some season stats and progression/regression like 10+ years and I would be really happy.

Well the only true way you will be able to find this out when you get the game and try it out for yourself.

I didn't see anything where it said that certain ratings won't progress as much as others.

Certain physical attributes like speed, strength and throw power will not progress.

They can drop when a player gets older.

That sounds awesome. Exactly what I wanted to hear. Thank you.

Is this for all players??? I'd hate to think the DT I selected in the 1st Round isn't going to get stronger...
