      Re: Madden NFL 16 Title Update #1 Available Now, Roster Update Scheduled For Friday

      while I can appreciate alot of guys play this mode offline, has anyone tested this stuff for online leagues that are full of owners? Did the patch actually fix stuff or is LT regression still broken as well as confidence/drive goals ?
      Yup, i said it !

        I've never set up a 32 team league. I have always just controlled 1 team. How exactly would I set the teams I don't want to play as?

          Your suggesting we not listen to other users who likely contributed more time to testing than myself and some have to playing the last 3 years combined.


          Please detail how to setup a CFM to operate your method. This will allow us to better understand and for someone available to reproduce positive results as well.

I know armor like to play and control the whole league but if you want you can play with only one team and plays exactly as solo offline. Just set coach fire off and all settings to CPU resigns, draft, fill roster etc. then you never ever need to enter to any other team

            Do not set others teams on autopilot. The drive goals are working if the other team is on autopilot.

            As I showed on the video. Confidence works perfectly when playing with 32 offline teams.

            What is this I've read about the AI cutting all the high drafted rookies in the pre-season? Is there a way to start the season with realistic rosters or is the AI wreaking havoc on the rosters before the season even starts?

                Perhaps I worded it incorrectly. Confusion is caused because there are multiple claims at the moment. I for one have also never done 32 team control, I want to know I did it correct and that such method fixes as intended.

                  I believe that has nothing to do with the 32 teams control. That will happen if it happen (didn´t know about this) even playing solo. This is another reason why some use this 32 teams control to avoid this kind of behaviour. Personally i´m not going to mess with "CPU" teams. I will set everything to AUTO and that´s it.

                  I will play the 32 offline as a solo CFM.

                    I could tell English wasn't your first language, but it is still VERY good. Your English is almost as good as mine, and it's my native tongue. Also, you A&S and others should be thanked for putting in so much effort trying to find workarounds.

                    It won't benefit me much since I don't go to my buddies house enough, but if these workarounds make CFM playable, it will help many others.

                      I never did a 32 teams control. I like to control 1 team and be in control of that team only, but this year is a must, otherwise as we already proved dynamic goals impact the gameplay in a bad way.

                      What i meant on the replied on armor´s post is that some people read 32 teams control and run away, they think they have to play other games, or baby sitting other teams, and while you can do, you can also play almost as if it were a 1 solo CFM. It sound complicated but it isn´t.


                      To create a 32 teams control what you have to do is.

                      Create a franchise and select your team, starting point, league settings and on YOUR TEAM select all CPU SETTINGS OFF and coach firing OFF. This way the AI won´t touch your team.

                      Then you start the franchise, until here, is the same as you ever did. Now what you need to do is

                      1.-Press R3 and select new character.
                      2.-You will se the same screen you saw before, your team will have your PSN Nickname and said taken, so you select another team and you will have the same exact screen as you did before, but this time on CPU SETTINGS inside the league settings you set all to ON. This way the AI will take care of this team.
                      3.-you repeat this same thing for the remaining teams.
                      4.-Then you go back to your character, and done you don´t have to enter or do anything else for the other teams

                      Saved as a start so you don´t have to re do all again, if you decided to start a new franchise with other team you can just change settings and character.

                      NOTE: DO NOT SET ANYONE ON AUTOPILOT. It seems this enable the Drive goals.

                      Hope this helps

                        I tried using a 53 man roster in CFM last night... I DID NOT see any Week 1 cuts before I was able to set up the other 31 teams.

                          Thanks. Thats a great explanation. Just a question, can you do all this in owner mode instead of coach mode? 32 owners with coach firing on?

                            I tried to answer all questions (as best I could) about setting up 32 team control in this new thread!!!

                                Re: Madden NFL 16 Title Update #1 Available Now, Roster Update Scheduled For Friday

                                This is going to be info most people are well aware of but for anyone unaware (also included a TL;DR at the bottom)

                                So I've played two games now with Drive Goals on as well as both the patch and tuner on the same sliders as I've been playing Play Now games on. I lost to the Texans 38-20 and then beat the Broncos 37-24. The first game played fine. It played just like the Play Now games I had been playing and felt good even though I lost it was a game that got ugly late but it was fun.

                                But it is definitely the drive goals and the distributing of Confidence that needs to be fixed. I wasn't going out of my way to accomplish these goals or anything in either game and didn't change my playstyle at all and in the first game completed seven of them and then in the second game I think it was nine or ten. Now what this does basically is negates anything bad that happens during the game. So even though I lost 38-20 and got ran all over on defense and didn't have much offense to speak of, none of my players took any hits for it. Well, they did but the fact that I completed so many drive goals and basically everyone gets +1 for that, it was almost entirely negated so everyone breaks even.

                                The problem then comes when you end up playing well because not only do you get the significant boosts of playing well but then you get even greater boosts from just completing the drive goals. So as you move through the season, unless you're getting completely blown out and literally not accomplishing anything, you're only going to get stronger and stronger and then blow up when you actually play well.

                                For example, in the Broncos game I had 192 yards on 28 carries with Jamaal Charles who started the game with 65 confidence. After the game he's now at 79. He went up 14 confidence overall and 8 of it was from drive goals and 6 was from playing well. Meanwhile Frankie Hammond Jr. who has done nothing more than be a lead blocker on KR's has jumped nearly 20 in confidence in two weeks having not played a snap.



                                Here's my depth chart after two games:





                                As you can see, damn near everybody is green and getting boosts. And as long as you're completing Drive Goals, you'll be able to, at the very least, maintain this and pretty much only build on it for the entirety of the season and being that the CPU doesn't get the benefits of drive goals, your players have an enormous confidence advantage every game and this isn't even including the possibility of adding on Game Prep confidence to your players.

                                Basically all that needs happen is they either need to create a menu option to disable drive goals entirely or tweek drive goals to not dole out Confidence. I feel like that would solve the issue and allow Confidence to work the way it's truly intended.

                                TL;DR - Drive Goals end up distributing more Confidence than playing well does. It also distributes this across your entire team. What this does is negate any negative effects of confidence from playing poorly and only amplify positive boosts for every player on your team. Fixing this issue can include but is not limited to: Disabling Drive Goals (via menu, not 32 team control) or removing Confidence gains entirely from Drive Goals (only XP boost)
