Why do players on a team get 99 Awareness if they make it to the Superbowl?

In Franchise mode, why does that keep happening after a team makes it to the Superbowl? It makes their team ridiculously hard to beat.

That's because of the Rating Boosts that are set to occur during some moments of the game. By default, the boosts occur during the Preseason Week 4, Regular Seasons Week 5, 11 and 17, Conference Championship games and the SuperBowl. The boosts gets higher the more important a game is, and the better the performance of that player. On every regular season boost point, the players usually get 1 AWR point. During Playoffs, they tend to get more.

The best way to prevent that is using NZA's editor, which can be found on the file section of this forum, and editing the franchise to have less boost points. In my franchise, I have them set to Preseason Week 4 and Regular Season Week 9 and 17. It gives some good boosts to players that had a great performance, without making them go 99 AWR.

Your issue may also be caused by a known bug in the game that causes every player on a team to go to 99 awareness if a player is assigned a certain role. I can't remember which role. You can fix it by running NZA's feature to reverse awareness changes during the player resigning stage of the offseason.

Thanks for the help. I didn't mind it at first because it made my team progress the way I wanted them to. But It is kind of unrealistic for any team to get 14 or more wins every season and win 10 Superbowls in a row. That kind of got boring and annoying to play against the same teams every year in the Superbowl.

If there's an Icon or Game Manager on the team, there will be an AWR boost for the other players - this leads to a sometimes 35 point awr boost for players. So basically, every player on the team has 99 awr if you continue this a few seasons.
