Well this made my day!

I wasn't going to do a 32 team control this year because the issues that made it necessary seemed to have been dealt with, but with formation subs in, I will probably do it so that I can help the CPU teams optimize their personnel usage.

As to some other things in the Q&A:

I know that most of them don't want it, but I feel bad for the rare online competitive player who actually does want penalties and other realistic quirks of the game to be in the game playing experience.

I like seeing Michael Hoag talk about knowing that Special Teams teams still needs a lot of work, and seeing Rex nod in agreement.

I think that John White is right, he doesn't actually say it, but a lot of CFM folks are sleeping on Gameplanning this year. It has excellent functionality now.

People who don't like Beyond Broadcast presentation, sorry, it's clearly a core part of their design philosophy.

Rex didn't come right out and say it, but it seems like M18 begins a new 3 year plan. I wonder if Frostbite makes it in for M18.

I mean, we had formation subs in Madden a decade ago two console generations past so I hesitate to get too excited, but I'm glad to see them back in. Very great addition.

So can we set formation subs outside of a game in the cfm menu?

i wish they also add option for open/close roof on teams too

I like how Rex was acting annoyed about being asked about Formation Subs again, "like dude, why you guys keep asking about this, John go ahead answer this one", and John in his typical low key manner is like, "Yeah, we got it in"
