Rex mentioned on Twitter that the cause of the dramatic ratings increases during CFM games was related to an issue they identified internally with CFM Dynamic Drive Goals.

My understanding is that it happens mostly in blowout type game. At least that's the explanation I got from some other OS members on Twitter yesterday. I played last night and got alerted I had met some goals, and didn't see any boosts of that kind of magnitude. Someone else may be able to shed more light on in than I .

I've said this before on here...and trust me I'm not gloating on being right, but they really need to get rid of this dynamic goal, XP, confidence crap. I honestly have no idea who likes this or wants it yet it is still causing problems in CFM.

That makes sense as you would have more time to complete more and more goals, thus increasing the chances of atts going over 100. I play on 9 minute quarters now, and nearly peak each and every time.

The confidence stuff I can live with, it's basically in every sports game out there. I am right there with you on the dynamic goals, XP stuff. I don't want to play an RPG, I just want to sit down and play a game of football.

I know some people hated it, but I liked the somewhat pre-determined progression/regression system of Head Coach. Actually I thought that was the best franchise mode top to bottom of all time for console games. Why they went away from it, I will never get. If I could get Head Coach's off the field depth and design with the current version of Madden on the field, I may never leave the house.

No game is free of defects. Everyone should accept that.

I will say that NBA 2K15, and MLB The Show 15 were two of the best sports games I've ever played/playing. (Can't wait for 2k16)

This Madden game is the best football game inside of "Play Now", I've ever played. It's everything outside at the moment that's burning. Hoping they can get as many fixes as possible.

Kudos to Kolbe for giving us the heads up, so this way we can really dig deep into this and start it right. He's a standout dude.

This is a perfect time for us to review what the slider experts are revealing.

Yeah I have seen the same thing, I played as the Jags and they arent very good. So this bug really didnt effect me to much during my season.

Personally, I don't think its reasonable to declare the abject failure of a particular game design over a bug which will be gone in two weeks.
