In all honesty it's a fair argument. I'm liking to debate.

Hot/Cold Streaks are based on weekly goals.

Complete 2 or more of the weekly goals for the player, they are on a Hot streak.

Complete none of the 3 goals, that player is on a Cold steak.

Complete 1 goal, Normal.

Confidence
Every player now has a confidence rating between 1 and 99. That confidence rating is dynamic and will change based on what happens to the player and his team from week to week, and is is NOT an indication of how confident the player generally is in real life.

Among the things that can change a player’s confidence are losses, poor performances, trades, etc. How much confidence fluctuates is determined by several different factors: whether the player is a starter or backup, their consistency rating, and how big the game was. Get blown out by a rival at home? Confidence drops more than a one-point road loss.

To me, the differences seem clear. Confidence much different than reaching lofty weekly goals, but that's just my interpretation.

Also, good explanation Charter.

There are so many other things I would consider groundbreaking that would have a far more reaching and significant effect on the game. Some of those things existed in Head Coach, a game that existed quite a few years ago.

I'm 100% on board with anything they do to make existing features better and I'll embrace all of it.

I'm always uncertain of how the game will be when they take something out and then add something new because I always fear they'll remove something good and replace it with something really horribly done and when you combine it with all the other stuff thats horribly done year after year its a disappointment for another year.

25 was the first playable Madden since PS2 in my opinion and Im just praying that 15 takes it another step forward.

Someone say "groundbreaking " one more time!!!

One thing I hope we get is if a CPU teams starting QB struggles and his confidence gets real low they will put in the back up if his confidence is higher.

I feel the difference is they are taking out something that wasn't received so well(hot and cold streaks) and replacing it with, hopefully, something better and more "groundbreaking."

Sorry, Charter, you threw me a softball on that one, lol.
