I'd love to hear how this confidence feature was in Madden 25. I sure as hell haven't been practicing with individual players and choosing to boost their XP or Confidence and having it actually affect their performance and the game.

They changed it from a trait to an attribute. Are we already pretending that it's "groundbreaking" just because it's in M15?

Isn't stating it to be "groundbreaking" a bit of hyperbole? Confidence was already in M25, how "groundbreaking" can it be?

To me, groundbreaking would be more dynamic depth charts, where you can specify slot vs outside wr positions so that I can always have R. Cobb in the slot.

To me, "groundbreaking" isn't providing something that was more or less already in the game the previous year.

I think someone doesn't understand how confidence will (supposedly) work this year.

Maybe confidence = Consistency and the just pulled a marketing 101 on us. I actually don't mind that they change the name of something and make it function better if thats what they did, but Im just not sure its an entirely new feature and they completely re-worked player momentum and removed Consistency.

Confidence was a trait. I know it was. I saw it. The confidence trait affected hot and cold streaks. They changed it from a trait to an attribute and added some functionality. How is that "groundbreaking"?

I really think we are starting to get hung up on "words"

What might be a slight exaggeration from some, could be an over exaggeration from others usage words and phraseology.

It's a matter of opinion at this point.

Let's just all see if it works as intended and advertised.

If it does, great, if not, time to ask why and why not.

I'm not on board with calling it "Groundbreaking" but I can't agree that what it is now, was in 25 as it sounded like you said. I think it adds a whole new layer to our CFM seasons and such.

I won't call it groundbreaking, but I certainly think, being the way it will affect the mode that it is certainly close. But then again, we won't know until the 26th or if EA Access rolls out to us Xbots.

I think people are using over the top terms like "ground breaking" to describe something that is a nice enhancement.

Somebody said it wasn't "ground breaking" and got jumped on over something that I wouldn't consider to be "ground breaking". It's a nice enhancement. I'll leave the "ground breaking" term to things that are actually "ground breaking".
