Man, I hope they didn't make that mistake. I'm not sure they were traded, I didn't see anyone stand out in return with a big name. Forte is like a 95 so would have to be someone good in return and Cutler is a 85 i think and I'm pretty sure you could pick up a free agent better than the rookie.

Didn't see many inaccurate passes, and when their was one it was way off. Most passes are caught perfectly in stride, i didn't see many different catch animations at all. Just because a receiver is open and a Qb has time in the pocket doesn't mean the pass should be perfectly placed, I would like to see more balls thrown behind receivers and low to the ground, and receivers should fall to the ground sometimes after making a catch. On a positive note, gang tackling looked much better in this video.

Frustrating because we've all had to try to use slider to fix what's unbalanced or broken in the game, every year, for many years. Maybe this year they really, truly do have the balance stuff perfect, but my guess is not quite. So if sliders don't work and aren't explained, the game will still be deeply flawed.

You are right about that. If they were traded it would be a major issue with CFM and we cannot know for sure until we get the retail copy in our hands. Makes me nervous.
But EA does have the save file so they could check. And they probably did after the stream but they would not check that during the stream for obvious reasons. Hopefully they post on twitter a image of the Bears injury report

They said it was 2 years on, right? His age might have him starting to decline by then.

I don't know why they didn't pause the game and look , it would of took 2 seconds. If this is the case I'm sure it will get patched,because no one is going to like Aaron Rodgers being traded for clowney lol

Kinda bummed they show ratings for second year players instead of..oh the stats from the prior season. Is that too much for the game to process?

Also is the sim 10 years option going to be quick and painless or am I literally going to sit there and wait for it to sim 10 years of football. I think the latter.

Yes, they were in year 2. Which would mean that they were traded in this upcoming offseason. I still see that as quite a stretch. Not impossible, but not likely.
