I'd be incredibly surprised if performance had any real effect on ratings in Online Franchise. If anything it introduces a significant amount of randomness into the progression logic that I am not convinced EA handled - especially given the way they handled playoff seeding.

In terms of reasonable and easy-to-manage stats to use for progression [the Tib way], I'd posit that downs played - a stat kept in online franchise and mostly discarded through the rest of the game - could impact the rate of growth and decline (it only introduces one thing to track, downsplayed, more downsplayed in a season could in theory accelerate the player further down up the "curve"), where that growth/decline curve per player is set based on POT ratings. But, then again, Alain Jackson didn't move advance in a dummy league and he didn't advance in this one and in our league he was a monster.

I think it is entirely off POT. Cameron Morrah has gone up 12 points in two seasons he was only a starter for 3 games and even then he saw limited time. Otherwise it was special teams and goal line.

Morrah I think is B potential but he also had a really low initial overall. Maybe crappier plays can improve more because the ratings gains are bigger?

So, I thought I was going to have to break some bad news to AB, Johnson got carted off...only out for the game, meanwhile Mendenhall limps off the field, out...8 weeks. :|

Luke you still dumping MJD off?

My C POT Devin Moore has also gone up 12 points (to 71 OVR), since I picked him up in FA. He hardly touched the field my 1st year, but I gave him quite a few carries/catches in season 2. He went up exactly 6 points in each season.

:lol :lol @ Ramirez getting 700 yards of offense against the Titans. God, the AI is just so fucking bad. At least karma bit him in the ass for running up the score with Mendenhall going out for 8 weeks.

Astro just a heads up, just lost power briefly at work and I live on the same street as where I work so there is a chance I could lose power during our game.

The only reason I know that progression isn't fixed is because it's different in the dummie league and all the players have the same POT as in our franchise.

Once Baseball season starts I'm done with Madden until August.

I'm with this man plus my son will be playing baseball too which means less time to get in games. In other words, I'm probably out after this season is done.

PM me if you feel like trading a really good DB and getting a 1st rounder (I'm flexible as to other options) in return!

I'd hate for the league to stop, but maybe it's for the best. All this thread is now is bitching. Bitching about the game. Bitching about people not playing their games. Bitching about bitching about people not playing their games. Bitching about being called out for not playing the game. Bitching about playing the game too well. Bitching about playing the game poorly... etc.

Sneak preview for next week:

<Ramirez> Oh for fuck's sake the game wanted you to win, fifty

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

I joined for Erin Brockovich discussion
8 seconds to pass? When did I talk about that? Moar like "why isn't Direct Snap HB working anymore?"

Should be "Anyone want Brady LOL Just kidding. Anyone want Brady?"

There is one fact Bob, and it is that after this week you will either have as many wins, or have less wins than me.

How does it feel?
