i know players progrees on this game..is only through workouts and at the end of the season they progress...they dont progree during the season through play like on madden 05...someone explain progession for me how a player progress..

If you train players and then go into their "Edit Player" screen and then exit it, you will find they have progressed. They do not progress by just training, you have to go to the Edit Player screen (it's a bug). Does that answer your question?

live isnt as smart as madden yet.....basicly through trainin, they might get a lil better, u should be an email in your thing saying where they improved in what u had them train for, and to see if their rating actually went up u do have to goto edit player - pick that player, then just goto done and then check the reorder roster screen to see if his ratings went up.....also in the off season, obviously natural progression will happen just like madden, there wont be any huge jumps, but progression is based on age and season stats.

I've noticed that generated rookies DO improve during the season - Their PRIMACY rating at the beginning changed up or down slightly when I checked later in the regular season. I don't know if other ratings changed but I'm pretty sure primacy did (although changes were kind of randomize and not depending of the stats they achieved).

Regards,

I think that the primacy rating for all players flucuates during the season. The computer adjusts it from game to game I think, as when ever I have edited it via the DBF, and then I sim a game, and come back to it, it is different.

How do you draft soemone and build the up to a potential star. Even when I've gotten high picks the guys skills haven't been that great.

Player progress only happens with Training Sessions and during the off-season...

When you do a training session, you need to go to the edit player and open each player that just trained and save him there to show the effects of the training during the season. It's a well known bug...

The guys aren't stars to start with... Almost no one is... Only guys like LeBron, Carmelo, Timmy D, Shaq etc. are stars to start with. Most of the guys take several years to mature into stardom... This is why you should always draft guys that have good or excellent potential for improvement so those guys have a shot of being stars...

Usually not much is expected of the rookies either... Michael Jordan was a consolation prize for Rod Thorn that summer. Thorn wanted a big guy, but had to settle for Jordan as the big guys he wanted were already picked... How foolish does that statement sound now??? Or the fact that Gilbert Arenas is a late second round pick and Ben Wallace was never drafted at all... TMac was told by a coach that he wouldn't last three years in the league and went on to win the scoring title in Orlando... And don't even get me started with 13 points in 35 seconds stuff...

The fact is, you don't know who to pick... There are very few certainties in the real draft... Not every first pick turns into gold or even silver during the years and some guys that were drafted way down become major stars and contributors in the league... This is quite well reflected in the Live 2005 draft as well... There are very few certain things...

Steals come and go... First picks crash and burn... Just like in real life... I for example with the 15th pick took a guy who was projected to go late in the first round, because he was long and tall for a shooting guard (6'7") and he had a really good shooting touch... Every team wanted the guy during that summer, everyone had the intrest bars at maximum regarding that guy... I even traded away my 83 rated shooting guard to make room for him in the starting lineup... He's something special that I hope will improve over time...

Interest Bar?

Yeah, on the trade players screen :wink:

They need to add a trade interest feature like on Madden where you just say who you're trading and what type of picks or player you would be interested in trading for.
