this has happened to me in the 1st year of my franchise. EA what is your solution? It is breaking the game.
So I think this may have to do with the progressive fatigue and the weekly trainings. Seems like training always has the Starters in Full Pads which would have a negative impact throughout the season. If you change it weekly to vary to Split and/or Uppers seems to have been an improvement on the fatigue levels. Haven’t finished the season at this point but I’ve noticed better play out of the team bs what it was under the iteration.
Additional detail: My experience: I had looked at my Franchise at about Week 17/18 and saw some of my starters especially the skill positions were pretty fatigued and coming out after the first play. Saw that the settings for Trainings were for Starters and Full Pads. (to be fair I had seen some info about this elsewhere). I went back from a save point earlier ins the season and adjusted my Training Set-Up to be Split Squad & Uppers. Seems to have mended the issue. Seems that in years past the Weekly Training had the Auto option for the CPU to adjust the trainings based on fatigue. I should add that my players seemed super tired in the first iteration of this season during the later weeks and I have seen much better performance out of them so far.
