The progression I'm connected franchise mode, for both online and offline, is ridiculously slow. They give you barely any XP for doing anything whereas the amount of XP you'll need to progress your players remains the same. I understand that many people thought it was too easy in recent years but they severely overcorrected. In particular the milestone goals are laughable. If I were to win the MVP award with Sam Bradford he would receive 1,668 XP. That's good enough to upgrade one of his passing attributes by one point maybe two. That's ludicrous. Last year most milestone goals like that (big awards and accomplishments) got you around 15,000 XP. That's a huge drop and I can't imagine this is what people want. There's no way to build a team if they never get any better, the only way to get good player is to trade for players who are already good and that sucks.
This is my second biggest problem with an otherwise solid game (number one is the lack of user control with the skill positions) but its easily the most fixable. We just need a tuning update to give us more XP. Ideally they could give the Commissioners the option to determine what type of progression their league has. Even if its just like "slow, medium, or fast" that would be better than this. I hope this is tuned soon because I would like to have the awards races and accomplishments in my online franchise to actually mean something. Heck to have the plays my players make on a game to game basis mean something.
