Cost to Go Up 1 Skill Point On A 77 Overall Normal Dev Player The following results are for a 77 overall normal dev quarterback but the percentage change is what matters and it applies to every player in the game. The way we went about figuring this out was we kept a player’s overall and development trait consistent and edited his age by 1 at a time. There are 2 major cutoffs for age where after you get to that age, skill points become much more expensive. It is common sense if you’ve played in a Madden franchise before that the younger a player is, the easier he is to progress.īut we spent the time collecting a ton of data and going through it all to find out exactly how it works. Given the same amount of XP, they will get twice as many skill points. That is why you’ll notice that it is so much easier to upgrade superstars rather than normal dev players. If a normal dev player costs 8,000 XP to go up 1 skill point, that same player would only cost 6,000 XP if he was star dev and only 4,000 XP if he had a superstar or SSX dev trait.

If a normal dev player costs 10,000 XP to go up 1 skill point, then that same player would cost only 7,500 XP if he was star dev, and only 5,000 XP if he had a superstar or SSX dev trait. The easiest way to explain this is using an example.

Normal development players cost the most XP per skill point, Star Dev players cost 25% less for each skill point, and Superstar and Superstar X-Factor players cost 50% less for each skill point. Let’s start off with going over development traits because that is the easiest and most straight forward factor. How Development Trait Impacts Skill Points
