One thing i hate most is seeing some weird stuff added no one is asking for while leaving out things the community is asking for. Because when i see it, i think, you tell me you have this short dev time, why are you wasting on things people who are buying your game are not asking for but not putting in more of what we are asking for. I get the short time to make something new.I dont get spending that valuable time on things we dont want. Take that "waiting list" for example,they claimed they added that around may of last year after they heard the community really wanted a draft board. Now , knowing we want a customizable draft board, and saying they heard us, this year if im going to look at what they did and say its a success, they need to finish what they started there. The watch list is not enough.They have the foundation in a short time, this year it should come to full fruition. Those are the type of things i look at. I dont start a project and just let it go half done and not finish it.I expect the same from others.

They put a lot into CFM but it wasn't fully developed yet, I expect a MUCH improved CFM, all I can say. Sometimes investments aren't seen until a year or so later, something to keep in mind for all aspects of the game.

QJB just tweeted this, I believe the hype is reaching new levels right now.

I just have a hard time believing they will put him on the cover especially after the Super Bowl loss. He didn't play very well at all my guess is Von Miller

Isn't he a game changer?

Reading some comments in here and reading between the lines on some of the stuff on twitter, I wonder if the cover is going to be a coach, or a hall of fame coach or GM/team builder and if CFM is really a huge focus this year. It might make sense to do that type of cover if that was the case. Didn't the last Head Coach game have Dungy on the cover or something?


That takes me to... if they could ever just implement the whole idea behind Head Coach, into CFM... we'd be rockin.

That was originally the plan but it failed. I wouldn't be opposed to having a coach/GM on the cover but does that then mean they didn't add anything to actual gameplay this year?

That's if you believe the vote was legit. I think the 1st year they had both finalists happened to be the 2 people who announced the bracket on ESPN.

Speaking of which I found this interesting
