@@phillip4buckeyes4life they don’t get offseason training the year they transfer, they get pushed down the depth chart in most cases & them transferring was useless. especially if their dealbreaker was pro potential their ass ain’t getting drafted with no development

[@Underfly1]

@@phillip4buckeyes4life i think they develop throughout the season but I meant the offseason. Transfers don’t develop in the offseason you sign them so you have to wait until the next offseason to get that training boost. Which is obviously unhelpful when it comes to senior transfers😂

@Underfly1 good good point. I agree their off season Devo is terrible

Coach attributes are a key role. Especially recruiting coach and elite. Found out that not CEO but the one right under that def helps in the recruiting commits

[@KALICOE]

@dicemaniii ceo is the top coach I have yet to use points except for oline play and getting 65 hours and I still pull what I want

[@danieldbeavers]

That RB progression cost is how it always was. Quickness is most expensive and power is second most regardless of archetype. IQ and Route Running are the cheapest. What's really annoying about it is that power backs won't upgrade their power traits (and thus any of their physicals) until they've become elite receivers, and by that time they're probably so high overall that they declare for the draft. It looks like maybe EA's hotfix for that was to put more caps on power backs' bars for route running, hands, and elusiveness. I couldn't say for sure, that's just how the 2 power RBs on my roster are currently.

[@CAPAE]

It is the same across All players among the same Archetype. The only differences are stat caps and Dev Traits. The biggest difference is that Receiving Backs actually gain Route Running ratings group slower. Why? No idea, but Power Backs Overall ratings are skewed towards Power ratings, which are harder to grow, which makes them appear lower in Overall rating most of the time.

[@Eibarwoman]

What is worse is the power backs is usually right up against the power cap, without architect so they won't develop much either.

[@benwatson222]

@@Eibarwomandoes architect and limitless actually work now? I know it was based on the player buying the skill upgrade instead of it being a level up

[@daviddolan1322]

Them giving us more coach points could fix a lot of this. Like i could actually buy the one where persuades are more effective and players are less likely to go pro. If I could just do more as a coach i think itll balance out a lot of this

[@benwatson222]

I have noticed that sometimes the physical skills they have when you recruit them will get downgraded now. I have noticed this mainly with athletes

[@williamthomas4125]

Try letting the cpu auto change their position. When you position change, it adjusts physical badges based on rating. Takes away badges where the rating isn't high enough.

[@BrandonWafer8]

They should do something like madden with freshman, they should let freshman devolp depending on snaps

[@PoodleGaming]

I agree. Maybe even a training camp mode or something to develop certain guys a bit.

They got rid of speed rusher at outside linebacker

[@blakeluker1425]

Speed rusher at OLB was never a thing. It's a bug in the game that if you change a player to OLB and their archetype changes to Speed Rusher you can't see their caps and they don't progress. Same with Slot archetype WRs and Strong Arm QBs

[@Jay-dh5vx]

Great vid keep up the good work

[@brandoncreighton5000]

One observation you made about how you can’t keep the elite players past their 3rd year…I think they may be doing this to encourage people to build out CEO coaches getting those abilities to try to keep projected draftees from leaving.

[@PoodleGaming]

Yeah it’s possible, but the path to get there is too expensive for my taste

[@SWB_mike]

All of the athletes have been nerfed I think they started with them and I hate that there is 5 star gems with impact

[@adrianbelgrave4123]

@@Jake.E75 Thats exactly what one of recent middle Linebackers were.... A 5 star Impact with 16 skill caps

[@Je-Razor]

I think they should remove abilities to be upgraded with points and only be the attributes that improve through them. Instead I think that there should be a certain level in a stat that guarantees that the player get that ability instantly. But there should also be a lower level in the same stat that allows for the same ability but the player needs to obtain a certain amount of XP by playing in games for upgrading early but it won't use points. So you can get a player to upgrade the abilities early by playing them or you can wait and hope they get good enough in that stat to obtain it automatically. Doing it this way they can easier balance development with attributes and players not feeling there is a lack of development because they used all points on abilities. And you get an extra bonus for playing players instead of sitting them by getting abilities early if they have met the minimum threshold.

[@PoodleGaming]

I said this in a video this week. I feel like the ability point spending aspect needs to be retooled a bit. Great concept, but you just don’t earn enough points to ever truly upgrade a player and their abilities at some positions

Question: If i have 60 hours to use on a player, is it better to use Hard sell, DM, and social media (55 hours) or Hard sell and a soft sell with 2 of 3 ✅ (60 hours)?

[@rdoran85]

The first option is the better choice. The penalty is heavier as of a few updates ago for a “wrong” hard or soft sell. I used to use the second option before they nerfed it.

[@epicdroneimages1128]

@ ah ok. I was unsure because i know the wrong soft sell penalty isn’t AS severe as hard sell, but didn’t know how severe vs using 15 hours instead

[@badalada1461]

Do I need to start a new dynasty for the new updates?

No

[@Jake.E75]

So with this update, its more worth it to re roll perks. Is there any players we shouldn't re roll besides QBs and NIL players? Something ive also noticed is that when the game first came out, players you forced to transfer would show up on other teams, has that changed as well? Thanks for the video! Very helpful.

[@johnnymo350]

The other issue is that elite prospects don’t feel elite. EVERYONE gets redshirted. That just doesn’t happen in today’s college football. The best prospects play right from the jump, or they transfer. Can’t wait for dynamic transfer dealbreakers. They should all develop multiple of these so you can’t just redshirt everyone.
