It's not even inconceivable that coaches would keep starting them even though they can't play. Was it many more players in cfm? Or with tuner installed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not to throw us off topic but my teams good right tackle retired/ went on a hiatus this year. I can pretend the same is happening for oher and robinson.

I also wonder if it's isolated to those two LT...MAYBE we can just edit the traits of those QBs to counter that and be done with it. This confidence mess is bad.

Yup, edit in your roster before starting cfm. Short term fix but might work for 2 seasons or so

User QB not missing passes, OL pancake DL (LT Albert something was 89) and RE was 85 and he still pancake him several times. It started ok, but then it was a snowball. I´m wondering how hard it can be to have the same game on Play now as CFM? why? why? so close yet so far. This was all pro default btw.

I'm not sure everything you're experiencing is related solely to CFM. I've had Jason Witten get 13 pancakes in a Play Now game.

I've only played one CFM game so far and it played pretty close to normal, even though Tom Brady seemed a bit skittish early on. He was sacked 4 times in the game, all in the first half. One user sack. One corner blitz that got free clean. The other two were pressured where he rolled to the right into a sack. He scrambled up the middle once. He later reverted to Tom Brady form; took zero sacks, zero attempted scrambles in the second half.

I missed/overthrew open receivers with Big Ben and Brady missed as well. But, if you're saying that eventually the confidence boosts will make everyone unstoppable, that will be a crushing blow.

Man, we need an OFF switch for all of this Drive Goal stuff. It wasn't fully fleshed out and should have been shelved until all/most of the potential issues could be fully recognized.

As an offline solo player, the game played beautifully out of the box. The slight issues I had were easily remedied with small incremental slider tweaks. I'm afraid every subsequent attempt to fix things that are being affected will eventually result in this game going NBA2K 15 and being unplayable by the final patch.

I agree, gameplay was fine. I saw zero need for any tuning. Fix the CFM issues and other odd related things like regression, progression, sim stats, etc. Leave the gameplay how it was on launch day!!

Rex turn the tuning back to launch day, then fix CFM!!! Also if you can answer Rex, why is Play Now and CFM gameplay different? Its also hard to doubt that claim when for years practice mode played different than play Now, so I 100% believe this still exists but in the Play Now vs CFM environment.

Side Note: If I could offer another piece of advice, bring in Dan Berens for ratings!!!

Hi

Sorry i forgot to mention, yeah you would see some high Pancakes blocking from WR and TE, maybe FB too. But OL who are the one that are actually tracked along the season you are not on play now. ON CFM, the first few games will be similar to what you see on Play now between 1 to 3 pancakes. After a few games were you get over 60/70 confidence, you will rarely miss a throw and your OL will start getting pancakes like crazy. I´m on week 4 and i lead the NFL LT and C on pancakes. Also i´m not throwing erratic passes anymore. My QB is already on the 90 confidence and the whole team (most of it) are green + with confidence over 75 and more. we are 2-1 and they feel they already won the SB.

I don´t get it who ideas was it? i mean you can´t lose confidence on this game. on the first game Tannenhill had 2 TD and 2 Picks and he didn´t get any confidence lost. He even lost that game for Christ sake. Make no sense.

So enjoy the first few games, then it will be a snowball and games became easier and unrealistic and arcade.

I´m really mad and sad about this. I don´t know how to play now. i was thinking on tweaking sliders but at what point? players perform ok when confidence is in the 50. Should i set different sliders for different confidences moments' one for confidence 50, other when confidence 75? is crazy.

Would it help to re-set confidence to 50 after every game? Or when your team gets too high to go back and reset?

Second run of no tuner offline franchise. This time Greg Robinson down to 38 pass block after year one. Couldn't run year two because my character got fired. Presumably for continuing to start a left tackle who allowed more than 3 sacks per game.
