depends on the execution. from what i understand, high agressiveness teamed with high execution results in big plays - DL's get a better jump, get sacks; DB's get interceptions. High agressiveness & low execution leads to penalties.

QB's with high agressiveness and execution take more chances and luck out --> Good Favre.

High aggression + low execution = Bad Favre.

i've yet to seen anything that leads to ICs for agression.

Aggressiveness is something that I like to be high but not too high. Really aggressive players make more penalties and fumbles; they take more risks and can make bigger plays but also take bigger losses. Low Aggressiveness players play it safe and are steady performers, less likely to make penalties but less likely to bust loose. QB's with low Aggressiveness may often throw short on long pass plays because the short pass is safer, costing first downs. More aggressive QB's hit longer passes but get intercepted more. As noted, high Execution helps temper high Aggressiveness.

Note that, especially on defense, high Aggressiveness and high Strength has the potential to cause more injuries to the opponent.

but are we correct that it never increases?

I don't believe it increases, no. Aggressiveness tends to be a trait of youthfulness, and it tempers over time.

(I should probably allow it to increase if it is low, say below 60. But I'm not sure many people would want to lose IC's on Aggressiveness rather than a more useful skill.)

I think Aggressiveness should stay as is. It's essentially more realistic for the players to get better in physical skills, but they don't really change psychologically. Not in general.

Every player is different, and AGG is the sign of their "emotional" balance. I like having to consider if I want the SS who will jump routes for INTs (resulting I'd assume in avoided tackles) or the one that sits back and tackles consistently.

I do intend to eventually give you a little control over this sort of thing, representing how you coach your players so they may be more or less aggressive in certain situations.
