I really like that idea, as you see it quite often a player stays around just a little too long, and while he has flashes of his old self he cant do it every week like he use too. I grew up idolizing Dan Marino and that last yr he played was like that, where once a few weeks you would see flashes of greatness, but he wasn't able to do it each week. Sadly Im afraid we might me seeing this with Peyton Manning, where he will start to looking average a awful lot. Obviously its easier for a QB now days to play later in his career due to rule changes where you cant hit them or lock down WR, but still there comes a point when those legs cant avoid any type of rush.

I like this, but I think there should be a smaller deviation than what you are suggesting, perhaps only ± 3

Dan,
Do you know if you'll be able to have any say about the progression system as part of working on the ratings, if you are asked to do so? I'm not sure what the best solution would be, but I would like to see some type of progression system for CFM that is not focused solely around XP.

Hopefully Josh Looman is next...

yeah JP it should have to do with playing time and how good your coach is a deloping players

and i do like XP its just should be more easier to turn a 79 ovr and progress him to a 90 ovr within 3-5 seasons if u use him right

that is good for vets but rookies and young players every year sometimes make a huge jump

CJ Anderson at the end of madden 25 was a 67 or a 71 ovr
but at the end of madden 15 was a 85 ovr was that a reuit of playing with manning or his hard work in the off season

Kolbe and John White are in charge of CFM now. I don't think most people will get a good idea of the direction they're headed until next year though. I think a full cycle with them in charge of CFM will make a big difference. Lets not put all the blame on Looman, he delivered HC09 which is what we all would like to see added into CFM.
