Franchise Player Progression

[The Legend MM]

Hey guys, I'm in Year two of my Astros Franchise.. in year one the prospects I acquired; such as Manny Machado (A pot), Gary Sanchez (A pot), and other B potentials had the red 'up' arrow in player progression next to them almost all season. Starting year two, now in May, no player is improving. Their basic attributes are, but some atts, even on 19 year old A potentials are going down. None of them have the bigger red 'up' arrow next to their name. Is this just something that happens time to time but evens out?

Player progression only occurs in the offseason. The in season reductions/additions occur due to fatigue and hot/cold streaks and are only temporary.

I have a 2 user franchise with my bro that we play only games against each other and simulate all the other games. We let computer train our players and we do our contracts. I have a problem where in 2014 and beyond there begins to to be much too many good players ( I am talking so many 100 rated players in free agency) and no team is able to sign these guys because they are demanding too much money. Since computer wont low ball anyone I am able to sign people like Prince fielder, Zack Greinke, Josh Johnson, Ryan Braun all in the same offseason for 2.00 M a piece. There are way too many good players in the league, I guess player progression is too high? Can someone point me in the right direction. I thought the patch was supposed to fix this.
