Dynamic Development Trait?

[jwing7]

Just finished my first season and had a question about the dynamic development trait. They touted that in this years madden, a players development trait would go up a level based on awards and good performance.

I ask this because during my season, Derrick Henry had about 1,600 total yards and 17 TD's while winning ROY. After I advanced to the offseason, I noticed his development trait was still listed as Normal.

Has anyone actually seen an increase in their development trait based on performance? Really disappointed to see this not reflected in my franchise.

They said there's a chance it would go up. Not 100%.

My brother and I just finished our season and are currently in the offseason; he had David Bahktiari, J.C. Tretter, and Micah Hyde all get a development trait bump thanks to awards (Bahktiari and Tretter made the Pro Bowl, while Micah Hyde got defensive player of the week for Super Bowl week).

So yeah, dynamic dev trait does in fact happen, but it is not a guaranteed thing. I had Byron Jones win NFC DPOW during conference championship week and he did not get the bump.

Glad to hear that it is in the game. I guess I just got unlucky.

Direct quote from the blog post for this feature..

"Actually, any major season award and weekly award will have a chance of increasing it. What goes up must come down. Once a player fails to reach their season goals they have a chance of dropping down a development trait level. This fluidity makes sure the league is an organic system that reflects player performance."

Seems that it's not a for sure thing. possibility only.

Just finished up a season where Jordy and Cobb both missed 6+ games. So Adams had a big year and made the pro bowl. He got a development boost from normal to quick. When I go to progression history for him, it says his dev increased because of the pro bowl selection

I started a franchise with the Chiefs. Simmed the 1st season with injuries set to off. I had Zach Fulton as my backup center and long snapper. He SOMEHOW earned 39,000 xp and moved up to quick development.

I hired an unrestricted free agent running back with normal dev, and he ended up boosting to superstar after a monster season.
