One thing I would like to see changed in '18 is getting XP for doing your job. I like to play as a LB alot of the time as a player/connected Franchise. But it's frustrating a alot of times because the goals each game that get you some XP each week, are almost exclusively tackle based. and if your offense is up by 17, the CPU offense is almost exclusively passing at that point so it's hard to get tackles.

Even if you're doing your job as a team defense in coverage and forcing a coverage sack or incompletion, or filling your assigned gap, or contain / forcing a cutback etc....you don't get rewarded - other than like 1 XP for simply playing the down itself. After playing probably 10 games as 'doing my job', I said **** it one game, and just roamed and freelanced. Sure enough, got more tackles and more XP, but it wasn't as fun and play calling was pretty much moot at that point. At that point it was like "yeah, whatever. call whatever play the coach suggests, then line up wherever and do what I want"....I got more XP, but c'mon.

Also, if I sack a QB and force a fumble, the XP should be worth more than just a tackle. I foget the exact XP correlation but i remember thinking "man, I had a monster game. 3 TFL, 2 sacks and a FF" then I saw my XP payout and it totaled like 5 points (or something really low like that). I think i got more XP by simply playing X number of downs. wtf.

If I recall (it's been a while), NBA 2k series would reward you for doing your job in some manner or form.

I played a season as a CB in connected franchise and it was no fun. Even when i would shut down a player for nearly the entire game, I didn't get any XP love because I didn't get an INT and 5+ tackles etc.
