I'm in another madden sim league and you get to progression your players. Here are some following ideas:
1) Training camp
Rules for Training Camp are simple. you will be able to train in total 8 Players form your team. 4 Will be Offensive Players, and 4 will be defensive players. (Kicker = O, Punter = D) You will add a total of 3 points to each players attributes, with a max of adding +2 to any given attribute.
Training Camp Example:
Offensive Players:
QB Trent Edwards +2 THP +1 AWR
WR James Hardy +2 SPD +1 ACC
WR Marques Colston +2 SPD +1 ACC
HB Marshawn Lynch +! SPD +2 ACC
Defensive Players:
CB Sabby Piscitelli +2 SPD +1 ACC
CB Myron Lewis +2 SPD +1 ACC
FS Michael Griffin +2 SPD 1 ACC
SS Donte Whitner +1 SPD +2 ACC
2) Weekly progression
1 player gets one point of awr for each week
player can not be more then 83 overall 23 age to get progression.
4 players can be submitted for progression for preseason.
no moving players to be able to keep boosting them for progression
please post alternate player if 83 overall during season incase player is 84 in file.
*example from eagles
LOLB Ricky Sapp
If Sapp's Ovr is too high, RT Jared Veldheer*
due same time each week as depth chart
*can not do if player injured*
I'm not sure if you are able to do it on Madden 2012 but this ideas will bring up the activity instead of sitting and do nothing.
