Only thing for me was that Cutler and Forte weren't starting. Gabe tweeted me that he didn't go back to check but said they were either injured or traded. Why would they be traded? I hope they were hurt

Did they mention whether you could restructure contracts? If you can't I guess none of my Franchises will go beyond five years...

I'm hoping they were injured. I am a huge bear fan and follow the team very closely and there is no way the bears would trade those two for anything in the near future.

They briefly touched on it around the 59 minute mark I think, but nothing more than the defensive cam being the primary angle to start with and that the progression of confidence training and drills can still be performed even if you're a free agent. I would have liked to hear more as well, since it's all I really play. Given the new changes though, coach mode by be a lot less stale, I just prefer the tempo of using a player, especially only having a few hours a week to play the game.

The stream was just ok. CFM looks the same. Game prep could be cool but the whole look of CFM, the menus, the fake twitter, its really stale. I knew something was going on when it took so long to get CFM news. I hope we get an overall haul next year. Not being able to edit draft classes is such a drag.

Also Devin Hester is on the fake team the marshals, This is weird. Since he signed a deal in Atlanta for like 4 yrs

I am fairly certain they were traded. They mentioned multiple times that they "improved the AI trade logic so they trade more"

That is a recipe for disaster. Trades are not common in the NFL. The bad AI roster management is a large reason why NBA 2k's GM mode was not received well and I fear that the same may happen to Madden.

Looks like dynamic attendance is back out again on gen 4 this year. Was in 25 on 360/PS3—although when it rained or snowed no one showed up.
