I think that's the best implementation. IRL practice squad guys can be signed by any team at any time to the 53. Make them free agents in the game as that's essentially what they are. I believe that will keep the cpu from making dumb roster cuts.

Does that make sense?

My first game was against the Packers and i lost and got the same results as Play Now. I lost connection to the servers after the game and it wouldn't update so I had to replay it. I manage to do really well in the replay but still has reasonable numbers. Then it just snowballed.

The only game I lost was to Seattle as Cutler threw 5 picks (he has 6 total for 7 games) because they just seemed to intercept anything thrown at them and in that game I still had a competition percentage of 75%

I went into the 4th quarter of one game, I think the Cardinals with a 90% completion percentage.

I'm going to start a new CFM when the final 53 roster is released just to see if I get different results.

I'm so flippin confused every time I step foot in here.

Judging by Danimal & CM posts, confidence is still broken or causing big issues.

"Addressed issue where some players would disappear from the free agent pool."

Kinda been overlooked in this thread with the other more important issues but this hasn't necessarily been "fixed." Throughout the preseason they are all there but once you hit Week 1 they are gone, and there is a cap on the FA's. Not a giant issue, and at least you can sign guys before the season but it's odd that once the regular season starts there is a limited number again.

What if you play your game. Then raise the CPU passblock to 99 sim then lower it back down to play your game?

I do believe the host team can still make an offer as the PS player can choose to stay or go . So them being in Free Agency is not ideal.

Each team should have their 53 man roster, and 10-12 man practice squads all available. Then as apart game-planning we set our 45 active players.

Following the real world model is the best option in my opinion. There could be an option for an in-depth franchise experience, or one where users just play season to season 'streamline' where they don't have to address the minute details of team/roster management.

I'm not saying anything of the sort. The Patch notes said

"Addressed issue where players could receive over 100 confidence resulting in a short-term attribute boost"

I don't see anyone over 100 CFD anymore.

I see a whole load of my team at 99. I'm just reporting my results and the eyeball test. When I can see the Bears play as they should (crappy) in Play Now but like Superbowl contenders in CFM there is only one factor I know if that could be the cause and that is CFD.

Hell last night my whole defense got a confidence boost because it was about holding the team to X number of rushing yards or something and the AI scored on a 1 play 75 yard pass play. It's virtually impossible not to raise your teams CFD rating after a handful of games.

So, the bottom line is, everyone loved the game at release, and then the more you play the warts start coming out, and then a patch screws up the game, and then the game is unplayable for cfm users.

Seems like this happens every year. I am so pissed right now because if they don't fix this I have to wait another whole year to play football. This stinks.
