Hm according to maddencareer.com I have 68 players on my team, something doesn't seem right there. Is it going to auto cut players when we start simming preseason?

Looking at the goals per position:

It's going to be slow going progressing some types of defenders, since so goals are based on tackling numbers.

For example, Pat Angerer:

85 tackles | 500 xp
110 tackles | 5000 xp
125 tackles | 10000 xp


For reference: 85 tackles in a single season would have led the league in any of our Madden league histories.

Sacks however, are less suspect:
Robert Mathis:

3 sacks | 500 xp
6 sacks | 5000 xp
12 sacks | 10000 xp


Additionally, it seems like based on what kind of XP earn rate your player has - which you can check by scanning through his packages list, you'll notice that if you "earn more XP" what it really does, is increase the rewards you get for reaching these milestones.

So maybe a "Superstar" sacker would get 20k xp for 12 sacks (it also might be prorated somewhat to allow for younger players to progress faster).

For instance, Jerry Hughes (a bum), would get 20k xp for 10 sacks.

Offensive Lineman progression is interesting.

A lot of their goals are based on things like: Rushing TDs scored, Passing Yards generated, game-to-game it's things like first downs, yardage (rush or pass)

Ya it's not gonna happen overnight and I like that. You can also focus on certain players if you really want to upgrade them.

Also I'm liking the ratings we see on how they rate on our scheme. Even though the player may not be an 80 really, he fits well on your team which I like.

Look at catches... Ford needs 110 to progress. Roofles.

Other guys have it easy. 1500 for 1 td, 6 receptions, and 80 yards.

Oh wait, that's weekly... :\

If people had any control over their scheme, I'd like them too. But they don't seem to. I am locked in to West Coast/Spread it seems.

So are we missing on these XP points by simming games since we can't decide what the cpu is gonna do? On the other hand, I guess we gain in the tackles department. :|

I thought you can go in and change it. When you look at your scheme you can go left to right and see the others, cant you just change it there?
