13 minutes with 17 second runoff.

And re: penalties, I see all kinds, but I'm less of a stickler for exact numbers than others. So long as I see a variety and they actually effect the game some, I'm fine.

Re: bcruise's point about the CPU pass rush, I totally agree. As KC, Carlos Dunlap sacked me 4 times. He just beat the piss out of Eric Fisher. I had to alter my gameplay for him. Against a good rush, you can't just hang out in the pocket, and you get through 2 reads before you gotta go. I like that.

I think the clean install and fresh start makes a difference in the experience.

Subs for me are working exactly the same as pre patched. Confidence is the same as before. One game you may get 0 confidence from drive goal. Others you get 1 or 2.

Not really seeing any difference on how confidence work. Does anyone sees what are the changes?

quick question. I see most fixes affects existing leagues but some of them only if the rookies draft was not created yet. What if they were? It means that it won`t affect that draft class but it will affect the follow ones? right?

Does anyone knows?

I tweeted Clint for clarification on this.

He said they didn't tweak how much confidence you GET from Drive goals, or wins, losses, etc. so I'm not surprised you saw no difference.

He said what they tweaked was the EFFECT confidence has on stat boosts. So basically they didn't change how much confidence you earn, they just lowered the boost to your skills that high confidence gives.

So they basically universally lowered the skills boosting effect confidence has on both CPU controlled teams and Human controlled teams. I'm actually happy they took this approach because confidence can be annoying in CFM by making it play differently than "play now" mode.

I hope next year they scrap Drive Goals completely (since it has been universally panned) and either tone down confidence or tweak so fluctuates evenly. Also I think it should reset to 50 each season. If my WR has 99 confidence at the end of a season, why is it still 99 a year later at the beginning of the next pre season?

Ugh... Confidence and Drive Goals and I are not friends

Is there a feeling we should delete and reinstall the game for a "pure" patch?

I did and the game plays better.
