I am thinking the process for the actual tally starts at the training camp stage. Same for the existing injuries recovery, the weight change in pounds due to a position change, and the familiarity as well.
Me too. This is why half the plays I run in preseason are low familiarity and the other half are near 100%. I've been watching the last few seasons, and I've noticed 3 things.
A: Familiarity gains, if any, are nominal over the course of the entire season - pre to champ game.
B: I've had the same HC on my Nukes for 6 seasons, and again - any familiarity growth is nominal.
C: Most plays - regardless of usage over the course of 1 season, with my direct experience being no familiarity gained in any plays over 3 seasons, do not gain familiarity.

So my logic here is that players on your team changed over the off season and so did that familiarity but it wasn’t processed (seen) til training camp. As the players you lost and the players you gained caused those discrepancies in numbers. The old tally was from the old team.
Good logic I never thought of. Still does not explain the pointed lack of positive growth in play familiarity.
Personally, I think the lack of accruement regarding play familiarity in both and across the majority of defensive and offensive plays is a bigger part of the negative familiarity growth experience in the Man OLB Flat Zone.
Bugs be bugs.
Thank you for bringing this subject up. When 2 persons have the same experiences, it means neither of us is a looney and there's a play familiarity bug well beyond the negative growth exploit(s).
