    do yall use all of your XP on one guy each week? i spread my game prep around between 3 guys and early on last year threw in a lot of confidence to go ahead and get that up quicker.

    I'm splitting it up between 3 rookies, fast Kurtis Stills, a rookie superstar TE, and a rookie superstar FS

    I try not to use it on confidence unless I'm desperate. I'll usually spread it around between my guys with superstar traits that get the most xp from the game prep.

    Enjoy never winning anything bc you don't take 2 min each advance to improve your guys.

    I take their confidence up early as it improves 2-3 categories instead of one.

    Then, I focus on one guy. 500 xp a week on rookies is tremendous.

    On defense, I juice the front 7 in block shedding & awareness.
    Offense is a little bit different. QB mid accuracy. RB carrying. WR/TE route running. OL awareness or up a block if you have enough xp.

    Oh, I know. I was just saying you've got your work cut out for you.

    I really like the progression in this game vs M15

    I can get just about 250 xp a week if I improve just one player because I have a level 1 coach. Starting with Jim Harbaugh gave you a pretty big advantage when it comes to Game prep

    I had Slippery Pete last year but he didn't get much more than my rookie HC is getting. I'm assuming Pete didn't have discount on QBs so didn't benefit much from him

    I also misread your initial post. I thought you meant you auto progress your dudes.

    Autoing game prep isn't that bad, esp if you aren't trying to get one guy to be awesome

    Confidence early in the year, XP once everyone is in the mid-to high 90s

    - Week 4 Power Rankings -

    1. Packers 4-0
    - Didn't want to do it but have Packers number 1 right now. Added powerful Lacey for his inside runs and is the team to beat right now. Might as well just cut your punter faggit.

    2. Ravens 3-0
    - Healthy Gurly has the Ravens rolling.

    3. Cowboys 3-0
    - Led by a strong start by rookie QB. Tough match up this week with the surging Lions.

    4. Pats 3-0
    - Good start to the season for the Pats. Barely edge out Falcons for the 4th spot.

    5. Falcons 3-0
    - Falcons seem to have improved thier offense and looks to be a force in the league this year.

    6. Chargers 3-0
    - Healthy Aaron Rodgers is never an easy match up.

    7. Jags 3-0
    - Very good start to the season for the Jags. I have no idea who is on their team but they have a tough match up vs Trof this week.

    8. Rams 3-0
    - Another surprisingly good start for the Rams. Look for them to stay undefeated as they go vs the Panthers this week.

    9. Lions 2-1
    - Tough match up this week vs the Cowboys but GBG and his rookie qb have the Lions playing very well this season.

    10. Redskins 2-1
    - A team on the rise. Redskins are slowly acquring talent and will give the Cowboys a run for their money in the divison.

    11. Dolphins 2-1
    - Led by great recievers. Canes will most likey by 3-1 after beating the Cardinals this week.

    12. Seahawks 1-2
    - Cant count out the Champs. Rough start of the season but not all 47s fault. Team is still stacked and look for them to bounce back nicely.

    13. Jets 2-1
    - Jets have a tough match up this week vs Pats. Look for them to be .500 after this week.

    14. Bats 2-1
    - The revamped cheesy offense is gonna need to put up a lot points to keep up with Aaron Rodgers this week.

    You sounds like you're really interested in who I have. Let me educate you.

    Rookie QB extraordinaire Gordon Testaverde Ryan is our clubhouse leader already. You can ask dumpbutt who my WR is. Cliff Avril and Aaron Donald lead a disruptive DLine, and a bunch of no-names in the back 7 who are hungry and have something to prove.
