No there is not a way to see how he player progression goes up during the season. You can tell by the kind of year you are having if at the end of the year if he will go up or down, but you cannot tell what exact stats go up.

Willis MaGahee

Is an awesome starting back in this game. I had him until I could draft someone faster. Got him cheap also. I think I traded Curtis Martin for a #1 pick and MaGahee. It lowered my payroll and got a faster back.

Well there is a way, but you need to put Bennett on the shelf occasionally to do it. Here's how I did it.

I use the Giants and had Barber as my back. He kept getting tackled too easy so I set out looking for a back with some speed and more strength than Tiki has. I came across Willis MaGahee in Buffalo. They have 3 HB that are good (Willis is the worst) so it was easy to get him for next to nothing. McGahee was my 2nd string HB. I started subbing him in every 3 or 4 run plays by using the quick package option, it's called "spell HB" (in other words give your starting HB a breather. I did this for an entire season and actually McGahee had more TD's and Avg. Yds. per carry than Barber, but that's besides the point. At the end of the season his stats went up. Maybe not as much as him playing every down, but it still was significant. Then I ran him through Training camp and preseason. His OVR number went from a 69 to roughly 78 or so. I traded Barber since he wasn't being used and was still worth alot. after 2 more seasons, McGahee is now an OVR of 93. I hope this helps...

So basically sub him in on occasion it does help him improve and a good side effect is that when you use Bennett he'll be more rested and therefore faster, stronger and have a less tendancy to fumble. In this game running back by commitee isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you have a QB you want to improve, just sub him in when the game appears to be in hand. Remember, some playing time is always better than none playing time.

you have to put the names in...

what i usually do is put them in as i play a team... say im playing the raiders, i look to see who the guys are without names, then i look up the schools the guys went to on espn.com and go from there...

its tedious but whatever its better than having guys with numbers

Spotos strength went up 12 in one year???? If you did that without using the mini camp I got one word...STEROIDS!

Hey I don't care that he is shooting up, as long as he produces. I don't have a zero tolerance rule, haha. Yeah that was his first year in the league. Now you can imagine him breaking 10 tackles per game! I actually go for the break 10 tackles in a game all the time. Its pretty easy with the stiff arm.

I am playing my 9th game of the season and I simulated the rest of the games. Spoto went up another speed point. So you can increase in speed!
