Drive goals don't give out conf like before.

[NoleFan]

My goodness.... Started a new CFM post patch #2. In the previous CFM I'd played about 5 games without the work around then started using the solo work around. Confidence for every player on my CHI team was high (90s). In this JAX CFM I can certainly tell the difference. 1-2 after 3 games and didn't have a chance against NE just now. Final was 10-38. I got those 10 late in the 4th quarter in garbage time. Whew. I like it though.

Using the opening day rosters in the previous CFM, I had CHI winning the NFC North and beating CAR in the Wildcard round of the playoffs after an 11-5 regular season.

So you don't think it's worth it then? It was a bit of work to set it all up and I like having 32 team control to prevent and bone headed personnel decisions by the CPU AI. Thanks for the advice.

I do, however, feel like something like that is extremely unlikely now, though. At least in the course of normal play. I absolutely dominated that +2 game and still only got just those confidence points. My opinion hasn't changed - I still believe it's been tweaked, and is a lot more usable and a lot less game-breaking for those who want to use it post-patch.

I guess I'm just unlucky. Played 3 games only after patch.
1st only 1+
2nd 2+
3rd 4+

That settle. Anyways I'm not sure how much this confidence affect games now. Hopefully they don't change gameplay much. Otherwise it will be bad. No matter what you used you will end up with many players with higher overall because confidence.

What is funny is that I lost all 3 of those games. I'm still thinking the drive goals shouldn't be here.

First game I played with Patch #2 and a new CFM, I got +2 confidence from Dynamic Drive Goals! Ugh...I was hoping it would be rare per others' experience, but lo and behold, there it was. But definitely toned down from before. Also, one thing I will say, I love the extra XP. What a difference it makes in helping progress your guys. I think I'm going to stick with it for that reason.

Now, I just have to test out some games to see if I should play with our without the tuner...

Yesterday I played without the tuner. I felt I have my madden back. A whole different experience for me.

To those of you whom don't want to bother with either workaround (32 man method, or Booker21's method).

What you should do is TURN OFF DRIVE GOAL VISUALS (in the main menu) but don't turn them off with workarounds.

If you have the visuals turned off, Drive Goals still happen in the background but you don't see them and don't know which Drove Goal you're currently being "tasked" with. Thus; you seldom compete them except by coincidence once in a while.

Since you will seldom compete them you will get little to no confidence from them, but will still get some additional XP.

This is what I have done and it is working for me. I believe arrive Goals were needed by the patch, and doing this nerfs them further.

Why are folks not using the tuner exactly? Scrambling QBs?

That is what I have always done. But I still complete then. One game I had 4 after patched. Last night I had none though.
