I think this is a great question. My game comes tomorrow so while I can't comment from experience, the new progression scares me a bit. We see it in the NFL all the time. Teams bring in journeymen to fill a position until the young rookie progresses enough through practice and limited game experience to become a starter. I have seen complaints here on the boards that practice does not help a player progress enough, and even then, you are forced to do practice every week (no xp for simming practice). Can anyone shed light on how player progression is for bench players? Also, I think there is another point that has not been brought up. How about aging players? If I simply keep on doing well with my 38 year old QB will he never regress?
