This. This. This. This. This. This.

So important to the game and so needed.

Nice interview Mr Bill, really appreciated that. Man it was so vindicating hearing Kolbe emphasize how incomplete a game Madden has been up to this point because when those on the outside have pointed it out, they can get labeled as EA/Madden hatemongers or having an agenda. He mentions that aspect quite a few times and stresses how making Madden a whole game is important for him.

know better than to get all hype over rhetoric, all that will matter is the actually game they put out, yet it's nice when anyone in a leadership role with developing Madden can speak common sense and not as if from some alternate reality.

As a longtime MLB player, I'm really glad that Kolbe (a former SCEA dev for those who don't know) is starting to make an impact at Tiburon.

Just got a chance to listen and liked what I heard. I liked hearing that they expanded the CFM team and focused on it more than anything else this year. Wish it would be like that every year but that's just me.

Really happy to hear about how the UI has been cleaned up for improved user experience. The UI or "hub" was just awful in recent years and made 32-team control absolutely miserable. Scouting sounds interesting I guess. I'm not too familiar with how NCAA14 recruiting worked but I thought M15's scouting could be good the way it was with a few minor tweaks but sounds like it's been changed quite a bit.

I'm more interested for CFM after listening but I want to know what else has made it in before I get too excited. Can't wait for more info though.

Is there a timeline on when new features will be announced and detailed in full?

In a word no, but, when the news first broke, they mentioned they would release information leading up to E3.

There isn't a schedule like there was in the recent past.

I hope this gets in. Or at least let them save from game to game. I think I saw last year Clint saying this wasn't in the game because it wasn't important to the, majority of users (or something to that extent).

Listening to a podcast just now and the host mentioned how they couldn't talk about anything this week but next week they will so that might mean something or nothing but we may be getting some info this next week.
