I hate Cut Days, I have to cut 6 players. Oh no, Reggie Wayne got hurt in a Preseason game and is out the rest of the year. 2:35 – Diving into Player Progression. I’m going to manually progress RG III, my HBs, WR, LBs, and DB RG 3 had 1, 259 XP and does not qualify for any boosts. The lowest boost available was for 1,500 XP Tim Hightower – had 1,274 XP again, nothing to spend on Roy Helu – has 1,263 XP Santana Moss – 1,699 but the only thing I could buy was Toughness that would move him from a 70 to 71 It's going to take forever to get any ratings different or to one's liking. I want to vomit. (yes, I posted this in another thread, too, but it's important here just as much).

Actually, I'm GLAD that it takes a lot of experience points to move players up.

Seems like XP is more for "tweaking" a player than building one. Still will need to scout, care about the player's skills, etc.

Or he's going to have to prove over significant time (by earning exp) that he's able to play at a high level in order to progress quickly.

As far as editing - I wouldn't edit a player's abilities. I'd rather a deeper player-based development system over EXP, but based on what you posted, I feel a bit more at ease about the experience system, even if I still don't particularly like it.

coaches xp doesn't make a player better. each player gains their own xp which you can use to make them better. coaches xp is for off the field(free agency, scouting, and contract negotiantions) and developmental(players under you gain more xp when they complete goals) stuff.

I felt like you just posted a guide to Pokemon games, not a Football game.

lol I hear what you are saying but the stuff posted above isn't online specific or anything. It's just something you usually see in role playing games. Get enough XP points and you can spend them on upgrades or level ups.

It's been in Madden before (in mini camps you used points to upgrade your players skills), just not to this extent.

Who cares? If he pays 65 dollars he should be able to be rated whatever he wants. Why would anybody care it his game. People act like we are putting Quaters in a arcade machine. No this game cose 59.99 in some countries over 100 dollar so who care if he wants to play 3 different games in a week, import some real rookies, play his brother or change a freaking jersey number, and if you can't do this game is not worth 60 dollars and this game certainly doesn't deserve to carry an exclusive anything.

To throw away 15% percent( I thing it is much much bigger) of your fan base away for no good reason at a time when you are losing sales and you exclusive licence is slowly approaching it's end is not good business

I'd like to play as the Sonics....we don't always get what we want whether it's Madden or any other game.

its gonna be impossible to progress defensive players. Mark my words. I hope players still have an auto preogression during the offseason, because if not, Madden 13 will be the most frustrating experience EVER!!!!!
