Played a half in my cfm before going to work, and the game is playing better than ever for me. I don't have any major issues with cfm because of the workarounds. I'd say more but the tenor of this thread has made me not want to rain on the complaining parade.

After all their marketing and investment they've made into Drive Goals, etc., there's no way they're changing it for M16. Even if EA is agreeing with us 100% that Drive Goals was not implemented well, they won't ever come out and say that. Too much went into that feature. Sure, they might tweak some things in a future patch...maybe tone down confidence boosts or allow for us to turn it on or off (which is all I could ask for, really), but I think we're stuck with it overall for M16. And a special thanks to those who figured out a workaround. At least we have that, and it's not too hard to do.

And like A&S, I too remember the days without any patches. I've never seen a team react so quickly and be as transparent with what they're doing. Remember when EA never said a peep? Yes, there are still things they haven't fixed yet that are driving me crazy (I'm in the camp that we need a little more XP or stronger Game Prep), but the fact that they're alluding to doing to do a 3rd patch, says a lot, and the game still plays great overall. It's only 5 weeks or so and we've had 2 patches and a tuner update (which is debatable on its efficacy). I'm going to be try and stay positive and hope they do a 3rd patch within the next 2-4 weeks that fixes most of the remaining issues, and then we can focus on playing the game.

Excellent, that's good news to hear. If you don't mind me asking, are you playing with or without the tuner? I was playing without for it for awhile, but I wonder if it'll be better now with the new patch.

I understand that they're not gonna overhaul drive goals but did they at least tweak them?

I mean, getting a confidence boost for not allowing a rushing TD while getting carved through the air or for going 3 and out but not allowing a sack is beyond ridiculous.

I'd just like to echo his sentiments as well. I played a full game earlier post patch and lost to the 7-6-1 Browns led by Austin Davis. It was a game I absolutely choked away 23-21 but the game played great. Davis played to his ratings and ended up like 20-46 passing but led them to a FG drive with one second left. Gameplay is still excellent and I'm playing with the tuner.

Unfortunately this is a spot on assessment. This was a design feature for 16, a really poorly designed and not well thought out feature, but one none the less.

When I'm getting a drive goal boost because I didn't give up X rushing yards because the CPU scored on a 1 play 75 yard TD pass, something is amiss. "Good job stopping the run guys, but coach they didn't run. I know great job you guys rock!"

Having said that there are workarounds and the game plays well for me so I use them.

Why wouldn't it?

That doesnt really say much at all
