    Pro Bowl voting is terrible

    Why did my undrafted, 72ovr LT, who hasn't played a single snap all season get voted to the Pro Bowl? I appreciate the exp boost, but he literally hasn't seen game time at all.

    Its a glitch. He didn't actually get voted to the pro bowl. But all offensive lineman have the same goals. So if your starters get level 5 season goals so do all your backups. Its a pretty flawed system.

      Ah ok. But he's the only lineman that got the giant exp boost? He got right around 20k exp and none of my other lineman got a boost anywhere near that big

        In my experience all my lineman get crazy amounts to xp. I was basically a farm system for other teams. I would routinely have starters and back ups 85+ overall.

          It's also to do with winning record I believe too. Look at the OL award and pro bowlers, they're all winning teams.

          I also dislike the fact pretty much only WRs get voted in as a returner, never any DBs or HBs!

            The thing that has always bothered me forever is that corners are always judged by interceptions.This leads to fringe starters that get thrown at alot and may give up a crap ton of big plays making it while shutdown corners won't typically make it.

            I almost want to take an opposing team of a shutdown corner late in the season and throw lobs at them to get them the ints.

              I've noticed that with DBs as well. In my Bears 'chise I have Bryce Callahan as my nickle and he made the Pro Bowl over Richard Sherman, Pat Peterson, etc because he had 8 interceptions just from sitting in zone and jumping slants

                I agree with the voting being off...Put a CB with 8 picks irl is probably getting votes....A lot

                  This type of thing has been around for a while and often seems biased towards the user's players. Has anyone brought this to the attention of @EA_White or asked the developers about this?

                    Where is the list of players that are elected to the pro bowl? I can't seem to find it in the game.

                      I believe you can see it during Pro Bowl week in the awards section. I always just know because my players get a big exp boost, and if you go into their awards it'll list it there

                        yeah, this actually makes the pro bowl more realistic given how the voting happens in RL.

                          Were you controlling this DB? Because if he was jumping slants with the CPU controlling him, that would be unbelievable.

                            Usually yes. I wish the AI would do that on their own

                              At the end of the week before the Super Bowl, like in Stats>Awards>Pro Bowl.
