Did they snap the ball to the slot receiver on the next play too? Lol I don't know what caused that in my or if they're even connected.

No, I'm pretty sure it was a normal play. I'm guessing you just had back to back unconnected bugs.

Thanks so going into week 3 he has increased his confidence by 10 even with drive goals nerfed. Imagine if you had gotten a point for every drive goal like before.

Even nerfed he will be in the 90's by mid-season.

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.

What exactly are all the work arounds. I know the 32 team control but im not exactly sure what the work around is for and if there is anything other you guys are doing. I haven't started my CFM yet because I was waiting for this patch but Im soooo ready to start. Any suggestions on what to do to get the best CFM experience,

Yeah, it was crazy before. Even if you lost and played poor you were still doubling anything you lost on drive goals alone. And, to be fair, I was playing on Pro so I could do my best to accomplish as many drive goals as possible. Playing on tougher settings you'll be less likely to be able to roll together consecutive weeks like that but goals as a whole, even with drive goals completely off, seem geared way more towards reward than penalty but that may have changed with the patch as well but I'm not sure.


And to a completely different point, is there any reason why the 100 or so fixes aren't listed? What would be the point of obscuring what may or may not have been changed? Obviously Drive Goals was one of those things but it doesn't make any sense to me to hide or not announce anything that was changed/fixed.

Well, it kinda does. Drive goals are a brand new feature and I don't know if EA wants to come out and state publicly that they lessened the effects of it. Let's face it - us hardcore types on this board are the only ones who would have even noticed this. Most people probably don't even look at the confidence screen (although they might be clued into it from the CFM frontend depth chart now). The rest will go on with their franchises without even noticing it

What I'm happy about is that, if this isn't just a sample size placebo we're seeing, that the talk from Clint about "hearing us" on drive goals being broken and overpowered wasn't just....talk. They actually did something about it, and that deserves some respect.

West and David +1 confidence, why? Drive goal? this will give them 16 points for doing nothing.
What i don´t understand is how you can miss a Drive goal if you have one per drive. From those videos i still not see any player without the Drive goal bonus, its a bonus, really.

Actually this "drive goal" thing is our fault. Community complain last year that it was really hard to get players out of the low confidence, so they created this "drive goal" so player can get confidence up faster.

They said it on an interview.
