Backups in CCM unplayable.

[KingDeDeDe]

As a fan of his, started a CCM with Anthony "Boobie" Dixon. Made it through preseason as the 3rd string RB. Each practice gives 1k points. Increasing my speed from 83 to 84 will take literally an entire year's worth of practice. I get roughly one carry per game (stretched to three or four if I hurry-up to keep the personnel on the field), so I can't get XP from completing goals.

What a stupid feature.

You're a 3rd string HB. What exactly did you expect.

The opportunity to improve myself year-to-year so as to eventually take a starting role. I don't care about no playing time, I care about warped and ineffectual progression.

Made a speed hb, backup to hightower in washington. Gained about 600 yards the first year. The next he was gone and I was now the starter and havent looked back. Am now an 87 ovrl in year 4.

Preseason was slightly better, but I still only got about 4 carries in a game (stretched to 11 only by repeated abuse of hurry-up).

Ah, yes, much like in real life, third stringers get plenty of time to prove themselves*. Make sure you do practices. You're going to have to get your overall up unless you were a top draft, which it seems you took over someone who wasn't. Or you're on a stack team RB-wise.

*only in preseason.

I do practices. The problem is how ineffectual they are. 1k points over 4 preseason weeks plus every week of the season means it takes all year to increase speed from 83 to 84... and that's all I can do. That's my only improvement all year.
