And I always hated you could have a 90 rated safety who drops to an 88, but his speed has dropped down to 60's. Every other position can play until 38 or so though. Yeah. I doubt EA will concern itself. When they're forced to buy broke, why fix it?

Yeah, it really seems like XP was destined to fail. Offline, maybe it can be somewhat manageable but still ultimately not challenging enough and too unrealistic. Online CFM it's even worse. You chase any player with nice physicals because it is guaranteed to improve them, and the stat chasing it leads to is insane. I was in a league and the way I played because I was motivated to get Derrick Henry XP was ridiculous in retrospect lol. I saw a bunch of users doing that as well. Henry ended up with 93 speed and whatever else I improved but it was so dull and felt so fake to me, I stopped playing online CFM. That helped me not buy M18 since there really was no point for me personally to play, as online CFM was the last hope.
