I've been told 3PM EST and I believe that is right, because @RichGrisham of Press Row Podcast told me that he was told not to post his podcasts about CFM until then, due to NDA.

Agreed, just a mockup of how multiple stories would be represented.

Looks good but I wonder what that Buy Upgrades is all about, I hope it's something related to your franchise and not PDLC.

One thing I hope in future next-gen Madden's is that the League News box will be Live, actually showing reporters from ESPN or NFL Network talking about the league news instead of these static pictures we have to read.

Looks like this is the future layout of EA SPorts games, FIFA 14 has the same menu theme.

It has XP on it and is the same icon as one of the upgrades you could buy as a coach last year to increase experience for players of a certain position, so stands to reason it's just a way to surface that opportunity better.

Yeah seems like everybody is hi-jacking Microsoft's Windows 8 Tiles. I just hope the include Live Tiles in the future.

I didn't buy or play Madden 13 Franchise last year (or since 2005 really) so you had to use your real money to buy coaches to increase your XP?
