This is essentially what it looks like for the good guys. Except the dots are various shades of green and not a single solid color.

I finally did it, only took me 7-8 iterations of Madden.

GG DM, I was able to contain Freecheese, and come up big on 3rd downs. I also opened the game with a KR TD, which helped because my offense was doing dick for most of the game.

Mendenhall has earned his spot to come back to Pitt for next season to say the least, two monster back to back games with no fumbles!

Ward and Batch retired, frees me up a lot of money in Ward's case.

The Ray Lewis era is also officially over in Baltimore.

nay.

PLEASE DO NOT DROP ANYONE YET. DO NOT COMPLETE ANY PLAYER TRADES YET. ONCE THE DRAFT ENDS WE WILL DO THIS. EA DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO ADD PLAYERS DURING THE "OFF-SEASON" SO ITS A PAIN IN THE ASS.

also, while i'm yelling:

*****

THE DRAFT IS THIS COMING SUNDAY AT 6 PM PST

THE DRAFT IS THIS COMING SUNDAY, JANUARY 15 2012 AT 6 PM PST

Damn, what happened to D.J Williams. He had a good year but regresses 7 points overall and loses 6 points in speed. My Broncos have always had D.J as the best linebacker now he might not even start. :(

I find it weird that my third and fourth round draft picks progressed a total of 1 point OVR but my 7th rounder went up 3 points. Rors gave me a lot of shit about Telvin Wallace last year but holy fuck did progression treat him quite nicely.

Thanks. Has the year been advanced in LM? And what's the new cap gonna be?

Edit:
LOL @ a HB named Wes Hess

Yeah LM needs to be advanced!

My corners really surprised me. I thought I was going to have to draft one but I just got 2 random CBs in the 80s who have pretty good stats.

My Oline is still butt and I am slacking in some other areas. I do like my pick though.

Again the #2 CB of the Broncos gets killed in progression. Jon Joeseph drop 5 points despite having a solid year 4 ints. I might just have to draft a CB but I doubt any good CBs would fall to the 22nd pick. At least almost everyone else improved. Tebow went up 5 points and his short accuracy went up by 6 so hopefully he stops throwing directly at safeties.

None of his stats seem to have gone up, I think that +3 on EASportsWorld is a lie.

I guess EA doesn't use the SoS tiebreaker?

It's funny how DT is completely stacked this year and I need nothing from there. I do not know what to do with my first pick. Its tough!

Holy shit, AJ Green and Nyjee Dyer are 90s now woo. Gresham an 87, Shipley 85!

***DALTON 80***

I don't get how Dunlap notched 25 sacks and didn't progress. Oh well, he's still got it where it counts. His heart!

BTW none of the progressions show up on LM.

I don't think LM was updated. I also don't like how stats don't factor into players ratings. I mean one year (2010 i think) I had a 56 rated MLB get 11 picks with 5 sacks and he decreased and he was only 23.

the ratings i'm sure will look different on LM. Some surprise increases, not shocking decreases..looks about right. Test league had Simmons going from 68 to a 70, in our league he went up to a 71 yay.

Biggest riser for my team was the rookie FB Armstrong. From 81 to a 89.

Julio Jones and Shane Vereen were second with +6

EDIT: the rosters are now updated with progression/regression. Just sync it.

Some notable Brown roster progressions:

QB Peter Newcomer 84 > 89
WR Jordy Nelson 80 > 85
WR Greg Little 76 > 81
RT Oniel Cousins 72 > 77

DE Jabaal Sheard 80 > 85
DE Kendall Cobbs 66 > 76 (!!!, he was my 7th Round Pick last draft, and C pot)
DT Phil Taylor 80 > 86
DT Ahtyba Rubin 80 > 85
FS Deaires Justice ?? > 92 (he was my 9th OVR pick, I think he was 83 or 84 OVR, now he jumps big)

Some drops were: T.J. Ward (-2), Lofa Tatupu (-3), Sheldon Brown (-5), Chris Carr (-3), Eric Steinbach (-2)

God my CB's are trash outside Haden. At least the DL progressed really well, because my linebackers are poo.

The stupidest part of all this is we don't even have access to the depth chart in the offseason so we can't see what "real" progression is.
