Haven't listened to it. Is there any new information in the video? Don't think I want to watch a 46 minute video.

Madden 17 Dev Q&A with Matt Kato of GameInformer

Ok here's what's new to me, so far, about halfway in, this may not be to others.

Contract negotiations, added some new feedback and feel like they laid a good foundation for where they want to go with negotiations and contracts in the future.

Coordinators & Coaching Carousel a high priority they want to get in, want to get the license to have each specific coordinator.

No Lambeau Leap in 17
Halftime remains largely the same, fixed bugs, want to focus on it more possibly in 18, and talked about highlights from other games as possibility. Also want to expand the ticker and talked about having highlights and commentary tied to it as something they want to add in the future.

They have added a new mechanic so you won't accidentally skip halftime, have to hold the A button to skip halftime.

FORMATION SUBS ARE IN, John White announces in this video at 34:30 mark

Favorite feature in Madden 17
Michael Hoag Presentation Designer- First interactive experience, no spoilers, proud of what we did with it this year

John White CFM- Gameplanning and the reward for running the plays that you practiced, mentioned specifically when you play someone online who likes to run cover 2 and you call an attack cover 2 play to force him to change strategy.

Rex Dickson Gameplay Lead- Initially felt it was commentary, after more time, still love the commentary, but now feels it is the sum of its parts and feels very proud of what this game delivers and feels like they got Madden gameplay where he wanted it a lot faster than he thought they could and can now go after some of the more bells and whistles type stuff.

What they want to work on next

Michael Hoag- Special Teams was worked on this year but as a former college athlete, would like to see more done there and get to some of the intricacies of it to give the user more control.

John White- player mode definitely want to work on in the future

Rex Dickson- Story Mode and Team Play, feels like these features other sports games already have and we need to have them in our game. Each year it becomes more inexcusable not to have these things. Feels that it's a requirement that you check all these boxes that other sports games have checked in this day and age.

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.
