Ok I did a test run restarting my franchise and selected several teams. They added several other drills however they are for confidence and not xp. This appears to be a flaw in thinking or design. In either case I think I am going to continue my current franchise as is and focus on developing 1-2 players vs 3-4 using non drills. Its ridiculous that you can't develop WR's, TE's, and OL like you can QB's. QB's have like 3 opportunities for XP.

I don't have the game yet, and I really want to finally get it.

One of the complaints I saw people making, that I haven't seen addressed yet in this thread, was that CPU scrambling QBs would never run and pocket passers were taking off frequently. Is anyone that's played using the 2nd patch still seeing this issue?

Thanks

I only played a 3 minute quarter game but I was still able to get 3 or 4 drive goals in it offensively. Here's a screenshot of him post game.



I also encountered a really odd bug. I don't know if they're connected or not but I was playing and forced a fumble so it put me on offense with a new drive goal. The play was reviewed and overturned so Denver got the ball back but my offensive drive goal stuck while I was on defense so there was that. Then when they came out to run a play, this is what happened:

I never knew that drive goals were only for the user team. That's weak, I'm glad that it ended up being OP, and that I used the workaround to disable them.

Haha, same bug just happened to me in my game. Exact same scenario - overturned fumble. What are the odds?



Week 5: Everyone on my team -all 53- got a +1 Drive Goal confidence in a 45-18 beatdown at the hands of the Pats. I think I saw it pop late in the game after a Dez Bryant completion of a drive goal in garbage time. This, at its core, is what's wrong with Drive goals conceptually, but this feels like one of those situations where it would have given +5 or +6 before, and that very well may have been a bug that was fixed.

I took PLENTY of confidence negatives from this ugly game, too. I took video of the confidence screen.

Yea I liked seeing my defensive guys losing a point of confidence for letting up 300 yArds through the air, and not getting a sack.

Thanks, y'all for confirming that DG has been nerfed to more acceptable level...

However, "Upon Further Review" I'm sticking with "The Booker" workaround, because I don't think that having an advantage over the CPU is going to work for me in the long run...

It's going to be relatively easy to win the title with a rebuild in about three years, with these boosts implemented for my team alone...

It's a "User Preference" thing, but without this info, I wouldn't be able to make as informed a choice...

So, thanks again!

I will too, more than likely. I'm just one of the guinea pigs testing this stuff out (plus I wanted to check all of the gameplay at default again, so there's that too).

But I think this might appease some people who didn't want to take the time to do the workarounds - it doesn't seem nearly as "broken" before. It's definitely more of a user preference thing now, as you said, rather than broken-not broken.
