Re: Madden NFL 16 Title Update #2 Available Now, Full Details Included

As I said yesterday play about 8 or 9 games then report on drive goals. The reason people report different results is it's very easy to get goals that you accomplish from doing nothing. The nature of the system means people will get different results just based on the randomness of the goals offered to them.

I'm not saying it is not fixed or tweaked but 4 games is a very small sample size.

I tweeted Rex yesterday and asked him if they tuned it and have received no response yet. An answer would end all speculation.

I understand you saying 4 games isn't enough but when you have played 5 season with them on before and never, and I mean never had less then plus 5 to conf. Then it's pretty easy to see that it is total different. Not to mention all the bs games I played before the game came out and was testing the cfm in ea access and found drive goals to be way op. Yes you still complete so very easy but it's just xp. Not as big of a deal. To say 4 games isn't enough when before you could see how crazy it was after one game is not a true statement. Everyone knows what one or two games of drive goals does to your team. That's why they hated it.

I am off work today so I'll go ahead a play a few more games and see what is up with it tho. Played one this morning and I am playing now and it's still the same. Still only getting xp. So 5 games played full and only one I completed was conf. It looks like the ones that say player whoever do this gives xp and the team ones give xp and conf. Not 100 on that still testing that out. It is different then before for sure.

I asked him also with no response, which raised a bit of a red flag.

I wouldn't blame them AT ALL if the "company line" on this was radio silence...

Why?

Well, admitting you had to nerf a box feature due to poor implementation isn't good marketing...

The consensus from the forum on this will prob form by this afternoon anyway...

This is turning out to be a much more substantial patch than the notes would indicate...that, and the fact that they left core gameplay "as is" is a VERY good thing, IMHO...

Thanks EA!

Re: Madden NFL 16 Title Update #2 Available Now, Full Details Included

The problem with the play it and test it line of thinking is in order to find out if drive goals / confidence is still and issue you have to play somewhere between 4-7 games and I mean play not sim them.

It's was a big enough complaint that I think if something was done they would of said it. Besides Clint's tweet about it being a perceived issue make it sound like they don't agree anyway.

And not to be an *** but you said 4-7 games not 8 or 9 lol. Seems like you are just trying to hate on it now. Just don't know why you would say 4-7 then change to 8-9 when someone, I mean a few people have already said it's different and has played YOUR 4-7 games.

I played plenty of games / seasons with them on before this patch and sometimes it would take 3 games into a CFM, sometimes it would take 6 or 7. I never once played a single game in CFM and saw a +5 boost so I think you're exaggerating.

I really hope you're right but honestly people see what they want to see. With so many complaining a failure to mention any tuning says a lot more to me than a few guys reporting results after a handful of games.

Yep you're right. I'm trying to hate on a game I went out of my way to use a work around to play. I'm trying to hate on a game I said I enjoy with the work around.

You got me. Congrats.

Lmao! People have posted pics of that!! 15 min qrts plus 5 was real easy to get. That was the big issue with this. I'll find the pic of it. It's on here some where. I am sure a ton of people can tell you that it was that way

There is no reason to post a picture, I don't play 15 minute quarters.

So you're saying when you play a game an complete a drive goal no one gets a confidence boost? You don't see the little visual display on the screen?

No just xp. Only seen it one time in 4 games and one for time the next two where I got xp and conf. After game I go to game prep and look and only 2 times did my team say +1 do to drive goals. It was both on the defense side also. I will keep playing but something is different for sure. Sorry I said you hating, it's more like hard to believe they changed it. I agree. Not seeing it in the notes didn't even make me look for it but I was starting over anyways so I said might as well try it.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Title Update #2 Available Now, Full Details Included

Anyone know why there is no in game drill on game prep for wr, te,and ol? I expected this to be patched. Now I am thinking this is by design since you can build up confidence with these positions. I never use confidence since it works its self out during the season. XP is pretty limited as it is so I see no reason not to have in game drills for every position.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Title Update #2 Available Now, Full Details Included

That's a pretty significant change. I haven't had a chance to play post patch obviously but that would solve a lot of issues.
