Nothing that could be considered earth-shattering, but a lot of questions were answered, about gameplay and CFM.

One thing that was really interesting was how the souped up ratings in mode used for the Madden championship contributed greatly to the success of nanos and other exploits in the game. This was partly caused by the disconnect between the MUT and gameplay team. Going forward there will be more interaction between the two in order to ameliorate that kind of play.

Edit: Forgot to mention that OS got a shout out.

So @ 9:35 the question was brought up again about Formation Subs, and Rex didn't sound so convincing this time about patching it in. He said "hopefully before Madden 18 ships", but I'm not exactly sure what that means.

So you're saying there's a chance!

Having them in M17 would be nice, but he all but confirmed they will be in M18. That's good enough for me.

It means "hope for it coming somewhere along the line like XP sliders snuck into last year's game mid-cycle".

So, I'd like to say a few things about this interview.

(1) - First of all, mad props to Rex and his team for going over there to do an AMA. Reddit is traditionally one of the toughest and most negative outlets to discuss Madden. Some of that is because we don't tolerate the incessant agenda posting and general rude, socially inept drama here, but I also get the feeling there is a more casual crowd there that doesn't really interact with the sim / gamechanger community.

(2) - The nod to 2K's customization is a big deal for me and very positive. People want a sim based game on the field but they want a sandbox off of it. They need to really emphasize customization.

(3) - When we finally get custom draft classes, they need to do it online. It needs to incorporate elements from Teambuilder AND Fifa's Creation Centre from the 360 generation where you could stitch teams together with pre-created players. The PC template will allow for mass editing, randomization in certain subsets, incorporation of pre-created players and also the ability to more effectively do all the work. Having custom draft classes all on the console would be WAY to much work for a commissioner to do. Let the community build a creation database online.

Just wanted to add that I am the interviewer in the video, I tried to get them to answer as many questions and cover as many topics as I could. Thanks for sharing this video and you are correct about how tough the /r/madden community can be.

Well, u know it's tough when you're asked questions from, who was it, 'imadouche'? Lol. I love how EAWHITE struggled with that one. Lol.

It means hopefully sometime during Madden 17 and before 18. Could be shortly after launch or later on like Salary Cap mode.

I actually think we will get formation subs and edit draft classes in before 18, based on what they said in the interview.

Liked most of Rex's answers.

Very, very disappointed in Mr. Whites answers about CFM.

What didn't you like about what John said? He said most of the things the community is wanting that didn't get in they are trying to get in through continuous development or maybe next cycle.

Mr. White talking about how proud he is of CFM and how it all flows so well means we will never get a realistic franchise mode. It means as long as Mr. White is in charge of CFM, we will only have an arcade, mini-game, unrealistic franchise option.

He talked and it was heartbreaking for me.

Bro, you're sooooo negative. CFM got some really great upgrades this year, and they aren't done b/c they've shifted into continuous dev. You need to calm down, realize the strides they've taken, and maybe not be heart broken about a video game?

They'll get to formation subs, importing draft classes, better relocation options, more depth on contracts, pro bowl, etc. It's all gonna happen in due time. I think it would be great if people attacked us for our own perceived short comings on our jobs.....
