There is a wide gap between top tier 3* and low tier 3* from what I have seen. Borderline 4s and borderline 2s.

They are coming in lower. 1 and 2 stars may be slightly higher, but 3 stars are waaaaayyy lower. FAU had like 10 3* commits and only 1 was in the 60s and he was a 61, the rest were 50s. Progression is good and big time teams do have better recruits. Teams like Ohio State are still signing too many JUCOs and have too many walk ons. I seen Florida and Oklahoma have like 4-5 players with overalls in the 40s and 50s. Im not liking what I see so far on this front. Now im hearing the defense sucks too. Uggghhhhh, come on Madden roster update!!

Anyone else seen this?

That's never been how in-season progression has worked in the past. A feature that only works for User teams and not CPU teams is not a feature, but a cheat. It's no better than the "boosters" in Dynasty mode.

I'd be shocked if EA suddenly changed the way that in-season progression works after implementing the same feature for a decade, but it appears that way given the comments from PS3 users.

Russ... if you're out there... can you please explain HOW in-season progression works. Does it happen for simulated games/seasons? Does it happen for CPU controlled teams?

I'm sure a lot of dynasty mode gamers won't like the feature if it is essentially another boost for the User in a Dynasty mode that has always been too easy to dominate.

This patch is exposing some frauds online.

Ripped to shreds some dude sitting in press man all game with mediocre CBs...he started taking a knee at the end of the 3rd quarter, and crying about how defense was taken out of the game..and called me a cheeser for running the run and shoot.

High comedy.

Wish I was. Teams on the same level as FAU are like this. They had 5-8 3 star players. The highest rated guy was a 61. Everyone else was in the 50s. They had a few 1 star players who were rated higher than a lot of their 3 star guys. So I blieve that 1-2 star guys have better ratings, which still doesnt matter. But why are recruiting powerhouses like Ohio State, Texas, Florida, Oklahoma getting these guys???

Im kinda ticked at the fact that top level teams have 40s and 50s on their rosters. Florida had a 47 overall freshman LT. Oklahoma had a DT in the 40s.

Its still very bland. Teams like Arizona will never have any 90s on their roster in the future. Unless they jump out and get a 4 star recruit. Im thinking that recruits overalls have been dumbed down based on what team they sign with. Arizonas 3 stars were better than FAUs 3 stars. And some of the FAU guys were higher in the position ranking. Im simming some more to look.

Someone on ps3 needs to do what i did on xbox 1 month ago and sim 5 years in and see how many A teams, B+ teams and B teams etc there are so we can have some real answers. not conflicting herse
