Addressed issue where the defense would not adjust alignment if the CPU controlled offensive team enacted a concept audible
Updated Individual Coverage adjustments to not only affect the pre-snap shading but also the post play leverage technique
Addressed issue where adjusting the ZONE shading would have an effect on the defenders drop location instead of just the leverage technique
Addressed issue where cancelling a PA Fake would allow for a 1-step drop on certain plays
Addressed issue where the game clock would be restarted of a declined penalty after an incomplete pass
Addressed issue where safeties in Cover 4 Deep assignments were reacting to run too quickly

In guessing they are practice squad guys on the latest roster, but some guys are only making $110k????

I'm sorry but I'm out. I'm glad they tune it but drive goals make nonsense. I just lost 38-14 to the saints. And all my players are + something. My backup players are +1 why. Because I completed 4 consecutive passes? Come on.

I'm going to keep playing the drive goal off. Make no sense otherwise. In the long run those 15 confidence boost will have an impact.

The issue has to do with the player likeness update free DLC. I uninstalled it and the black hole on Collins' helmet is gone. Rex and the Equipment Guru said they found the issue and will work on it.

You say "Im sorry but im out?" What's that mean? That you're done with the game? ...i kinda get the feeling you make hasty decisions, no offense but if you're done then you're done with the game, right?

Honestly...it's not a real issue for most of us because ever since you made your "remedy" thread..there were only a fraction of people out of the whole madden forums posting in your thread..kinda get where im going with this? Also on the net, i belong to quite a few sports gaming sites and this issue that some people snow balled was not as big as others have made it.

Have fun gaming though, if you can bro

No way I'm out from from this game. The best madden to date! By far

I'm out from testing this drive goals. I found what it work best for me. And that is playing with drive goal off.

And by these fraction people who voice out we get these kind of fix. Do you think they will do it if no one make the voice heard?

Booker, don't pay any attention to that guy, there is post after post on this site thanking you for saving the game for them, including me and I will continue to use your "remedy". The drive goals are poorly implemented and create an unfair advantage for the user no matter how small. Anyone who says drive goals and confidence isn't an issue is not interested in playing sim football. These are guys who want to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl every year.

That statement isn't true. Shouldn't take a shot at everyone that feels they aren't an issue anymore. I played 4 season using the work around and almost done with this season with drive goals and there is no different in my teams conf at all. And what makes it unfair? Do you look at the cpu conf???? They are all in the damn high 70 to 90 range. And all I am saying is that it isn't broken anymore. It works good now. Before it was really really bad. If you don't want to play with them on then don't but don't put down the people that do want them on and bash the goals cause you don't like them. The game is t made for just you!! What they need to do next is just make it to where you have the option to turn them off. Glad they fixed it, but still needs that option for next year.

Dude, what are you getting all excited about, I wasn't even referring you, I was referring to the guy who was dissing one of the most involved and helpful people on this site. Booker has done nothing but try to make the game better for everyone and the guy came in with a condescending and rude tone. Not to mention the guy said "ever since you made your remedy thread..." which would indicate he was referring to the game pre-patch, which I think we would both agree there was a big issue with. Now post-patch I agree the confidence issue has been addressed to a large degree and for most people the few points boast in confidence isn't a big deal, but there are still some of us who feel any boast that is give to the user and not the cpu makes for an unlevel playing field. In light of that I am glad to still have the option to use Booker's "remedy". I apolgize if I offended you, that was not my intention, I merely wanted to give a vote of confidence to a valuable member of this community who I felt was being unjustly treated.

Ok, so since delete and reload of everything the game is running smooth as glass for me. Wonderful...

I still don't have any of the gamepreps others have talked about...

I have been wondering if maybe something like coaches progression traits could possible unlock them...

Anyone with extra or new game prep drills have coaches with traits to match?

# 334 Brandwin @ 10/01/15 10:43 PM

In the end, a ton of players will be 99 in confidence with drive goals on or off though, right?

Just want to say, the defensive camera is not fixed.

I was going on Armour and Swords word.

Plus, the defensive camera wasn't the point of the post.

Ok, I see you two are hashing this out in the defensive camera thread.

One says it works with no switch, the other says it doesn't work with switching.

# 338 booker21 @ 10/01/15 11:45 PM

Well as you can see I keep testing it or playing it and I can confirm that drive goals
Are not capped at 1+. Just won my 2db game and all my players has 2+ drive goals. I won 20-13. I won't say anything else because I already said what I think about this. Just want to share my experience.

Thanks for putting that to bed. I said all along that sample size was a concern of mine.

I still feel like it's more difficult to trigger multiple boosts post-patch though (+3 or +6 was almost effortless before). So it does still feel like there was a bug fix in there.

With that I'll bow out of this thread too (at least on this topic), but I'll probably still post my results down in that thread Ddson started - I'm intent on figuring out how this works.

Yeah we got it figured out, it works if you dont switch. If you play and like to switch during play , your still screwed . Which sucks, i hope EA doesnt think they "fixed it" and just leave it as is because its still unusable ( if you like having a chance on defense to stop a pass) if you play and try to switch defender during play.Especially if ball is thrown to a different area of the field than where the camera is originally on the first player you were usering.
