In game drill - points bizarre

Is this system badly flawed or just random.

In my sleepy state I ran the linebacker tackle drill on my LOLB - he got silver and 125 points - on the next set I got blocked three times and failed with three reds - and got 237 points?

Think I need to fail some more!

This seems to be common throughout the leagues I am in as well. The medal received doesnt seem to matter all that much. Dev trait and consistency are the only things that seem to really have an effect at all.

Re: In game drill - points bizarre

even then it is random

coach has exp trait, qb 99 consistency, sometimes bronze gave 50 + more points than gold

Re: In game drill - points bizarre

Coach trait, dev trait, consistency, and drill result all have an effect, but there is a large randomness factor applied to each one of them. You can actually see roughly how much each factor contributes to the amount of XP you earned with the multi-colored blue bar at the bottom right of the screen when you see your results. The first color is how much you got due to your coach (which includes a large randomness factor), second is how much you got because of your dev trait (including a large randomness factor), etc.

That's why you still get a decent amount of points if you fail... it's only one of four factors. If the other three factors had an unusually favorable dice roll, you can get more points with a worse drill result. But just consider it luck and go for the gold next time

Good Information. I never noticed that before.

I've found that if I succeed in every rep of the drill, I end up with more points. Otherwise, failing one rep seems to be as bad as failing the drill altogether. Just my observation. Definitely needs to be changed

I guess those folks must really have nothing to do.

Re: In game drill - points bizarre

What blows my mind is there is no repeat option.. Loading takes more time than actually playing the game
