Here's the embarrassing part as a developer.
They already have a In House football progression system in their "Big Brother" Madden. Madden would at least show you the XP gained for each weekly goal and XP gained for awards. I have no idea why I got 10 000 coach XP after simming.
This "Building the foundation" motto they have is getting more and more annoying to me. They built a foundation without looking at their neighbor Madden (and all the features added over the years to address things) and/or opting to remove structural support.
