What kind of improvement bumps do VH and H potential players get over the offseason? We're halfway through the season in Bryant and my recruits (some of them in the starting lineup so getting lots of playing time) that are in those categories really haven't improved much so far. Can I expect big jumps in the offseason?

The only way I’ve found to improve your players during the off-season is to do exhibition games. I find the only time my players improve is after a game (of any kind). Practices help stats as well but I’m thinking they happen around the same time as the game plays but not sure. Practices don’t seem to happen during the off-season. So make sure to schedule your 3 exhibition games, one of which after your recruiting is done so you can get your incoming freshman a little boost.

Also WE plays a huge roll I’ve found in stat boosts. You might have a L player but with high enough WE they could get around 3/4 the points a VH gets with low to avg WE. I’ve personally stopped scouting players as I’ve found a high WE makes up for slightly less stats. Although a beast player I won’t mind the lower WE. So potential means nothing to me unless I have two recruits yellow that are very close in stats and WE then I’ll scout them and take who’s better. I did that this past season for an OL, and got the A over the L.

I believe the only time you see skill gains is during the season from playing time and practice. You will get some during exhibition games but most improvements are in season. I do not believe you will see any during the offseason at all.

There is a very small bump after the season rolls over.
