Second this. HUM DB play is better post-patch w/ the tuner installed.

I saw Woodson break on a Cover 3 assignment to drill a players breaking into a post route right as the ball arrived that demonstrated way better zone awareness and ball skills than I had seen in probably 50 games of pre-patch #2 play. And I'm seeing plenty of balls knocked out by DBs contesting the catch.

Here's from a game I played Pre-Patch



And this was from the game I played this morning



Someone can play more games to see if that trend continues and I'm guessing it will but you can already see a huge difference. I completed a large number of drive goals in both games and you can see the huge difference in results. I can't guarantee it but my guess still stands that they capped out the confidence gain from drive goals at 1.

EDIT: One thing you don't see in the first screenshot either is that even though it says +8, it doesn't include any of the other goals and/or gains from that game. IIRC, from that one game Jamaal Charles actually went up 16 in confidence even though it only said +8.

You got to be kidding me! Is there a chance things reset in the next season.

I was getting those small increases with the work around, so there's no difference other than not having to do the work around, correct? A few seasons in and there will be multiple guys with 99 confidence?

Great info, so they capped Drive goals to +1.

you can tell this system is buged already. I mean, what´s the poing of aiming for the other drive goals if they are only going to give you 1 point

What i don´t like is that you will get a 1+ confidence for all the team guarantee on every game, that means 16 rating boost guarantee for every player. you have drive goals on every drive, that means 60 chances to get the drive goal completed. You can´t fail.

oh well, i´m glad they tweaked, i would love that they would turn off this $@#$@ feature but i guess it´s better than nothing. I may still keep doing the workaround though. I like my Drive goals to be 100% off. Hate having bonuses over CPU.

Hrm, wonder what I am doing wrong then. I restarted franchise and still do not have those options. I have extra QB drills now, but no WR, TE, and OL. Not that it matters really, I lock up trying to get into game prep. I was going to do some to see if it opened up more options but lock up on loading screen.

Would you mind posting another shot after week 2 of the same guy?

In the long run, you will notice the Drive goals Boost. Don´t get me wrong, i´m really happy they capped at 1, but this should be turned off, it´s not balance. The super sim games doesn´t use it.
You have 60 chances to complete the drive goals, remember some are as easy as complete 3 consecutive passes or get 2 first downs. so you get a guarantee 1+. Some of these drives, affect the whole team (offense or Defense).

On that screen, without Drive goals, players would have 1 less

charles 4,
davis 0
west 0

It the long run, it will be noticeable. This will be 16+ boost that CPU team doesn´t get.
Next year EA should give us the option to turn this off. As we had when we could turn off the Home field advantage from NCAA.
