XP sliders are live now and....holy crap. 0 on that slider LITERALLY MEANS 0 XP. It's evident if you zero out one of the sliders and go check its respective position in weekly goals. I checked Tyron Smith since he's the first one on Dallas' goal list, and all of the season goals show 0 XP bonus, with the weekly goals only showing a confidence bonus.

The sliders move in 2% increments btw, not 1%. That's still a huge level of progression customization. This is an extremely powerful tool.

Also, can confirm they do not work for offline franchise, even brand new ones. The box is grayed out. Setting up to add this into '17 I suppose - perhaps this is only something that could be added to the game's code on the server-side.

What is the max? Has anyone simmed a season with that? To what result?

Would you be able to show a few examples like if you raised the sliders to 150% on a few positions, what kind of effect would that have on XP?

Haven't done a season or anything - just looking into the real basics of how this works.

Sliders go as high as 300% and as low as 0%

Effect is going to differ among players as there are various factors that determine XP gain - Progression trait, coach level, etc. But the change is really easy to see because it happens in real time - the numbers change as soon as you move the slider. So, for Romo this is his season goal screen at 100%:



And this is 300%:

On default All-Pro has anyone noticed if the CPU Run Game is improved. That is the only thing about Default All-Pro I was struggling with was getting the CPU to establish a decent running game.

Curious if people have seen any improvement ?

Can someone confirm if the re-sign logic and regression issues were fixed?

This is encouraging

Can you post some examples of younger players, season, weeky and milestone goals? I'm stuck at work right now, much appreciated if you can

Anyone who plays offline CFM, can you answer these questions?

Did this new update change the way your current sliders play? If so what do you notice?

I noticed the CPU QB accuracy was different. The CPU QB missed a ton of easy passes but then would smoke me on a few plays.

Also, I was able to stuff the run very easily.

I think I might start a new franchise but it takes so long finding the perfect slider set.

Really glad to see the incoming rookie speeds tuned. That was my biggest issue when the game dropped.

What's the consensus on the amount of XP that is given on the default 100% setting? Is it too much, not enough or just right?

The patch is live on both systems.

I didn't get an notification on X1.

Re: The Biggest Madden Patch Ever Arrives Today, New Mode and Various Bug Fixes

Does anyone know what specifically is different with how they made "Confidence more difficult" to earn.

Was it made more "difficult" to earn for both CPU and Human teams?

I asked Clint on tweeter. He said that what changed is how the confidence affect the Ratings. Not confidence itself.

Interesting, I popped in the game and said, game needs an update.

I would try to go to your games and apps area, and check on game updates if you didn't get the patch.

I think a majority of people did receive the patch on both systems already.
