Things sound promising but... yet another rating ?

How come I really can't wait until some juicy (and paid) 'confidence boost' pack appears on the marketplace ?

I liken it to signing a baseball player off the street or a player coming back from injury. Once a guys healthy or if you sign a free agent off the streets, they don't just go straight to the Majors, they play some games in the minors before they make it back. Sure you could throw him to the fire but his ratings should take a hit IMO. His "confidence" would start at 0 and then maybe bump up 10 or so points a week until he gets to the neutral 50. Veterans, or guys that you've had in your organization, could go up more quickly while guys who you've never had may take a bit longer. The more I think about this confidence rating though the more questions I have about it. Are all players affected equally by events that take place? After a big loss does the whole team lose 20 confidence or do some guys lose 20 and some lose less and more? Is there much of a difference in the numbers between 0 and 100? Does 66 differ at all from 67? Do injuries to star players affect confidence? It will be intriguing to see how this system works and how it plays out year to year.

I think you're pretty grossly overestimating the confidence swings based on the news we've gotten so far.

I like where there going with this. It could be alot of fun especially if you like building teams.

EA has stated repeatedly that CFM won't ever have micro transactions.

Hypothetical questions. Hypothetical numbers.

Confidence was already in the game previously, just in the form of a 5-level rating system. They just made it a number and made the effect of it more transparent, is what I took from this.

Everything that was added sounds good to me ive been playing football games on PS since Gameday 98, NO sports sim game will ever be perfect because it is what it is a simulation video game. As consumers we will always find something wrong with a product, what they have done this yr I think is amazing an is worth a pat on the back. I enjoy Madden every year,this is still the beginning of this gen I guarantee the game will get deeper an deeper. Cause when madden finally give those that look for things to complain about, then we will be hearing that dont make changes. Play Madden, compete, an enjoy.

Does cfm have a web interface? What can you do from the web, is it as good as their NCAA football game?
