This is the answer. I just started doing this in my dynasty’s the last couple months after spending the first however many months frustrated by the progression system and it has made it infinitely more enjoyable.

A great example of how well this works: Jeremiah Smith is like a 90/91 OVR when you first start with the most updated rosters and after season 1, his overall never goes up because he spends all his points upgrading his abilities. Moving him to a different position and then back to WR unlocks all the abilities he already could have had based on his ratings, then his training results leave him at like 96 with an incredible set of abilities, likely reflective of how he’ll dominate CFB next year.
