And the things that ARE getting added are going completely the wrong direction. The original implementation of XP was bad, now it's going to be worse and even more gamey. Teddy Bridgewater completed four passes instead of three on one drive so now he's going to get 1 point better at long throw accuracy. Excuse me? Madden is trying to replicate their process of changing people's ratings week to week based on performance which isn't representative of how skill development works in reality.
There's been nothing to suggest that's an even remotely plausible example. It's a token amount of XP and sounds more about confidence which IMO should be a lot more malleable and change throughout games based on yes, just a pass or two.
