But that's just me. I have 2 kids, and not alot of time for gaming. This time of the year is setup for NCAA Football for me, been that way even before the kids. I play dynasty only and to have the #1 perk to the mode pretty much not working correctly kinda stinks. Im not hating this game, It actually plays pretty damn well, It's just if I hear someone continue to say its not a big deal one more times its gonna make me explode. You paid 60$ for the game and got what you wanted? Good thats AWESOME, but for me 2 months into it and i still havent gotten what I want out of it? It sucks, Im VERY close to selling this game. Im gonna wait till the 360 patch hits. Maybe it got rejected because of this. Who knows? We shall see, Im just very disappointed in this game in that area. Im supposed to build my team up, and yet you never get the feeling because you get worse and worse as a "team"

The game is fine, the progression issue is not a big deal. Every team should not be an A+ across the board like years past. This game is great ENJOY IT!

I also realize that I will have to redshirt a lot of freshman. It takes a real special player to play D1 college ball as a freshman, it doesn't happen a high percentage of the time.

I love this as well. Hell, in real life, Michigan State had a 2 star RB come in this year who was basically only recruited by MSU and MAC schools. He gained almost 150 yards in his first game and may beat out two sophomore RBs who were both 4 star RBs coming out of high school last year.

Or take MSU All-American LB Greg Jones for instance. He's an absolute beast in this game and will likely set MSU's career record for tackles in real life. He was a 3 star recruit and his best offers were from MSU and Minnesota. Rivals had him as the #34 LB in the nation in his class. Now he's arguably one of the two or three best LBs in the country. He was first team All-American as a junior and the Big Ten's Defensive Player of the Year. This certainly shouldn't be the norm, but there needs to be some rare diamonds in the rough.

I'm sorry that these progression issues have resulted in the game becoming broken for some of you. I'm honestly not trying to tell anyone how to play the game, I just think people need to at least try playing games, and perhaps wait a few days until Patch 3/Tuner Set 3 hits the 360 before rushing to judegment- for all we know this may be an issue isolated to the PS3 right now for some reason. Again- let's get a separate thread going to talk about this and keep impressions ONLY on the patch in this thread.

Ok, I understand where you're coming from. It would be easier to read and more organized, since progression has kinda taken over this thread.

It's not a BIG deal to YOU man, but to some of us its a HUGE thing. Nobody is asking to have A+ across the board. Im also sick of hearing that, Were asking for it to work as intended. Does it make sense to you that You can make a Team go from 1* to 6* prestige and have the team actually get worse..no sense of "Growth".

I dont mind the players coming in low 60's/high 60's , usually freshmen dont play. But Progression after a red-shirt and things like that actually have to work to balance that effect. Im using Syracuse, there's no way for me to recruit players to keep the talent level on the team around the same. That doesnt make sense to me, Syracuse doesnt have ALOT of talent to begin with, so I improve my prestige and my talent level gets worse? Really?

This is how I like my game, How it's actually supposed to be intended. Don't hate on it.

The game is fine your team is probably getting worst because of your recruiting skills. Those diamond in the rough 3 star recruits still perform on the field. Everyone wont be a 90 overall. Play the game you guys and stop worrying about NUMBERS!

Are you serious right now? If that were the case, then we should only have Play Now mode... let's just enjoy the game.

I know what you mean man. Until all the original players leave which is way down the road (5 seasons) if you have a bad team/older team its pretty hard. In my dynasty (link in sig) Boise State was in the top three for two years and went from a 5* to 6* after year one but has fallen off the cliff because they have no original players left in year 3+. They have some really good recruits but I'm guessing they are not winning because of their awr/ovr compared to all the redshirt senior original players left on other teams rosters.
