It also affects the cpu contolled team. So if they complete drive goals there ratings get boosted

Oh wow, wasn't aware of this. You sure? Devs could probly use a picture

yes, the CPU gets boosted too when they complete their goals. it works both ways.

That helps for the next game, but what about the game it triggers in?
I'm confident EA will have a fix, just hoping it's day 1.

Well, even if a breakout goal is accomplished, maybe having confidence rooted at 50 before the game isn't enough to trigger the hot streak that sends the ratings skyrocketing. I agree EA should be able to fix it, but this might pass in the meantime if it actually works like that.

I'm looking at the bigger picture here too - a lot of people don't like the confidence mechanic period because of its rating boost/decrease. If that can be "turned off" completely so to speak (and not just nerfed by resetting confidences lower than 50), that's a major game changer.

Does anyone have video? I kind of want to see Demarco with 117 Trucking just completely splattering fools.

Ok I have never post on here but have used sliders to help me while I made my own. I want to tell you all that this is tied to drive goals and cnf rating. To fix just reset cnf when peoples gets really high. It sets it all back to 50 and you have a few games til this happens again. Good thing they put that in this years game.

Um , just wondering if the reset to confidence is broken too? Because im pretty positive they said, resetting confidence only effects those under 50 to raise them to 50 and that it did not lower those higher than 50 , down to 50. Can someone confirm how this actually works ?

Ughh this is seriously frustrating. I hope this is fixed soon. I am so tired of every madden coming out with huge bugs that prevent the game from playing as intended. This is my most anticipated game every year and the game that started my love of sports video games and maybe that title should go to nba 2k now. Seriously fool me once.... It's been 3 years in a row. Arrgghhhh.

The reset doesn't work. only puts it back to 50 if below. I was wrong just tried it. I think the whole cnf think broke btw. I am the Browns and after I lost all preseason games and the first 4 games of my season all my players still had cnf of 90+ and all there ratings where up plus 3 and 4s overall. Don't think it was meant to be that way. I don't see how any player can be below 50 like that.

Also after doing more looking into it I am sure it has to do with how many min qrts you play on. The longer the qtr the more drives then more cnf you gain. I play 6 min preseason and this didn't happen but I play 11 mins during the season and each week it got worse. If that's the case I don't see how they can fix it. I would complete 5-7 drive goals a game and gain 8 points in cnf per player. Even with the lose of minus 2 or 3 I still gained about 5 each week just off of the drive goals. ( not including td and yards etc... So some weeks more). If you look at it like that by week 6-8 all your players will be high 90s and that's what causes this to happen. I don't see how they can stop it with killing the people that play on less mins. What I am saying is it looks like it will be awhile if at all that it is fixed. I love this games btw , the sliders work it's fun.

This sucks because so far I'm enjoying the gameplay. However, I'm strictly a offline gamer so here's to hoping these issues are fixed.

It is very disappointing testing did not notice it or that EA knew of it and decided to patch it later.

I think they tested it on short qtr, something like 6 to 8 mins. Anything over that will cause this. That's messed up to cause that's the only way to get the right amount of plays to be somewhat real stats.

Thanks for checking. I'm kinda disappointed they didn't screw this up.

Here's the thing, as someone that works in IT you test every possible outcome which means minutes minimum to maximum. Which I'm sure they did and then you decide when the fix is coming. In this case, it's patch 1. Honesty it would blow my mind if EA was unaware of this until OS posted the bug.

So , just curious, can anyone verify this statement? If you run 8 minute quarters only , will this not happen at all?

Re: In-Game Progression Bug Tied To Drive Goals (Will Be Patched, Says Developer)

I play 7 minute quarters only in CFM including simming. So this will not be an issue at all for me? Or just not as pronounced?
