Players Regressing During Regular Season Too Soon?

[Syncmastr]

EDIT By ChaseB: VIDEO ADDED to bottom of post

I was doing a few tests for my online CFM today, and noticed something that looks like it could be a problem. It seems that players are regressing during the regular season, as early as week 2. This can happen every week during the year to the same player, rendering him useless after one season.

To test this for yourself, go into your game prep screen during each week of the regular season. The tab on the far right will let you see the history of how you progressed your players (or how they regressed on their own).

Example - Greg Robinson - #2 overall pick in last years draft, regressing almost every week and going down to 46 pass block after one season:

It does seem to be somewhat based on performance, so you might not notice it simming with the best teams in the game, or if you play each game and go undefeated. I have honestly not figured out exactly what causes it to happen, because I've also seen Russel Wilson on a 6-2 Seahawks team lose a few points.

I'm hoping this can get added to the list of things that need to be looked at and hopefully patched. Sorry if it was already brought up somewhere else, I searched but didn't find anything.

I made a short video, although the steps are pretty basic to test for yourself.

-Make a new franchise
-Sim to week by week
-Check development history under game prep

It does appear that this is only happening to O-line and QBs.

I wish more testing was done before release. Hopefully this will be fixed if it is a bug or we find out the reasoning behind a decision like this if it was intentional.

Just a reminder, please keep the discussion productive so this topic can stay alive. Mods are also handing out bans, so be careful.

This is bad. Noway this should happen.

This may be related to the hot streak issue that goals are responsible for. If I were you I post this in that thread as well.

Ya this definitely needs to get patched.

How long of quarters were you playing? Maybe he wasn't getting enough playing time? Maybe progression and regression are just totally different this year. You have a bad game or 2 or even preseason you go down a bit. Like cold streak vs hot streak. But I'm more curious how many minutes per quarter you were playing.
