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

can u elaborate on this? i know in our test league we have been running " post patch" still are meeting drive goals and getting the pop ups saying thus. Just curious how they are " not working " exatcly , thanks in advance

Yesterday when i was testing it i used 2 controllers each for each team and goals didn´t show up. Of course this could be because teams were using the same PSN. (both were booker2121) or because it was working locally and is some kind of prevention from any kind of cheese or because it was a OFFLINE CFM and CFM ONLINE does not have this. I guess to be 100% sure of this we will need to try this online with a CFM ONLINE and real people. that was more than i could do by myself to try it.

But then if you are saying that people who played CFM Online were playing against each other and Drives goals were still popping up, then i´m afraid that this "trick" only works for CFM Offline. Sorry. I didn´t mean to get high hopes on this.

I understand you point I will try to clarify.

In theory it seems the same to us. But to the game it isn´t.

If you go to league settings for all the 31 teams you are not going to control, you set all CPU Assistance Settings to ON so the AI will take care of all the player management, signing etc.

What you don´t have to do is to go to "user screen" as commissioner and select all teams with the option as "autopilot" because that will triggers the Drive goals back on. And i know this will be tempting because it´s faster than entering each owner and selecting CPU Settings ON.

It makes more sense now?

Yes Booker, good explanation and thanks again!

Someone asked the question earlier but it never got answered...what's the consensus on the tuner? Remove it or keep it? If "KEEP IT" is the answer, are people having success with it installed AFTER the patch is installed?

Just to add to what booker said here's a couple of screenshots from bcruise earlier that show the difference.

The first one shows a 32-team control offline CFM where drive goals are essentially inactive. Wilcox had a good game so he got +10 confidence from it. Now had Drive Goals been active and say you completed 8 of them he would have gotten an 18 point boost in confidence instead. And that's what the second one shows. He didn't have nearly as good of a game but he still negated any negative confidence from a loss for completing the drive goals.

For whatever reason they don't activate or pop up when playing an Offline CFM with 32-team control which essentially disables them. But if they do work in an Online CFM then this is going to continue to be a big issue.

I kept it and had it on the entire time. I have only had positive results with it in both CFM and Play Now and I've been more satisfied with gameplay both post tuner and post patch.

Well id be glad to report back from out 32 man league , but we are doing all 4 weeks of preseason , so may take 3 weeks before we are in week 5 or so of reg season before i could really get good stats on it to show.

Logically I don't think your point on simming is correct. Unless you plan on playing every game, even with 32 control you're simming the games you don't play.

Sorry for the confusion. The LT regression issue is a sim issue and from what I have been reading here if you set up 32 team control and set the other 31 teams to weekly progression it in effect counteracts the regression issue.

Was the roster update pushed back? It says I already have the latest rosters in game and I double checked the roster it had and there were no cuts done. There's no information about the roster update anywhere else on the forums that I can find. Does anyone know what's going on with the roster update that was supposed to be released today?

Does it counter the issue because the cpu uses their weekly points on PB to keep it up in the 70s? I can see how that would work but at the same time, if that is the case, it is wasted a lot of xp that is already hard to come by.

This is one of the fastest moving threads I can remember in a long time. So with that said, its very hard to keep up with what is "known" and what is "speculated".

It hasn't been released yet. There's still plenty of time.

I would like to know this as well. With the 32 team control fix I just need the new rosters to start up my CCM.

Rex Dickson said on Twitter "The week one roster is still scheduled for today. We should have it up this evening once we have final approval from QA"

There it is.... Tonight hopefully.

Actually there is no need to keep researching. This is enough proof that confidence. Well actually drive goals are the problem. And to me it was implemented later in the game since the 32 method. Confidence is so much more balance and make sense. It doesn't reward you for silly things like getting 2 first downs. It does increase AND DECrEASE based on performance that make sense.

Also what I notice is that the confidence doesn't dynamically change in game. They do change for the next game.

My qb started with 63 confidence and even he threw a td. His confidence was still 63. Then after the next week he was awarded for that 1+ buy at the same time he was penalize for losing the game and other stuff. It's really really good. Why they add the drive goals why???? They are unbalancing the game.

If you want to play the game and plays like play now you don't have other option than do this. Is a must and the game plays awesome.

Sorry if this seems rude. But what are you talking about? Can you explain in detail what you are doing to replicate your gameplay experience ?

I think the only thing that is known is that in an off line CFM 32 team user controlled drive goals don't show up. We have video proof of that. Everything else is technically speculation although some of it a little bit more proveable than the rest.

Bottom line for me is once the roster is out i will test this out and see what I get.
