Broken Archetypes with unlockable abilities

There are many player archetypes that have potential abilities not actually attainable because players are unable to unlock higher ratings. Some are very blaring like a possession receiver being unable to upgrade catching in traffic. Please fix this ASAP. I have a list of effected types.


WR: Gritty Possession - Cannot acquire Outside Shield due to no RB Finesse, Second Level due to Impact Blocking, or Sure Hands due to Catch in Traffic

Gadget - Cannot acquire Dot due to no deep accuracy (or any accuracy actually) upgrade

Physical Route Runner - Cannot acquire Sure hands due to no Catch in Traffic, 50/50 due to no Spec Catch. Curiously the same archetype at Tight End can acquire all abilities

TE: Pure Blocker - Cannot acquire Second Level due to no Impact Blocking

Gritty Possession - Cannot acquire Outside Shield due to no RB Finesse

OL: Raw Strength - Can technically* progress all abilities but attribute upgrade cost is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than any other OL archetype

“Pure Power” - Cannot acquire Pocket Disruptor due to no Finesse Moves

Edge Setter - Cannot acquire Workhorse due to no Toughness

Power Rusher - Cannot acquire Workhorse due to no Toughness

DT: Pure Power - Cannot acquire Pocket Disruptor due to no Finesse Moves

Power Rusher- Cannot acquire Workhorse due to no Toughness

LB: Signal Caller - Cannot acquire Workhorse due to no Toughness

S: Box Specialist - Cannot acquire Workhorse due to no Toughness

  • Thank you, this is the #1 fix needed in my opinion. The Raw Strength OL upgrade cost makes them essentially all function like bust players who are loaded with skill caps, you'll never afford to upgrade them more than a few bars.
