Dramatic Drive Goals

[Xtra]

I just read about them so far, but they seem like a horrendous idea. Any way we can turn them off? Or is the next patch going to remove it?

They're completely optional, (no penalty for missing them) so you can ignore them if you like. You can also turn off the visual feedback of them in the options, making it even easier to ignore.

The bug causing players ratings to shoot skyhigh when completing them is likely to be fixed in the next patch, but the feature won't be removed completely.

They aren't that bad actually. You don't have to do them, but if you happen to do it, it's nice to get the xp boost. For example, getting an interception or converting first downs to deal a game. It's stuff you'd do anyway, why not get xp for it.


But as above said, they can be turned off.

True, but if you have a different plan in mind (like if you want to run in rather than get that third pass in a row), then they're just annoying.

I actually kind of like them. It's like hot streaks for players based on how well they are doing in that game. You can turn the feedback off but the goals are still there. I would be shocked if these are removed, probably be tuned but that's about it.

Then turn off the feedback and don't do them. I have the feedback on but it doesn't stop me running my game like I want to.

I use them to break out of usual play calling habits and ignore any that don't make sense (closing out a game and get a '3-receptions to my #1 WR' for example).

Some are spot on though, in a rut and get a 'sustain a 2 minute drive' or 'get 2 first downs', etc.

I like them, and really when your team is already down not being able to get a first down or two shouldn't be a drive goal that has no consequences IMO. Same with keeping your defense on the bench for 2 minutes when you're getting routed. Then let individual player attributes manage that adversity (some rising to the occasion, others wallowing - unless there are leaders among the players to mitigate that).

Could be a lot more of a meta game IMO, but confidence feels fairly heavy handed/basic. After being too harsh last year we lost most of the negatives.

Like I said, I only read about them, and the review made them seem like they were almost necessary. Thanks for clearing it up.
