Really great interview. Nice to get some answers to detailed questions!

[MMurda]

it confirmed what some thought was the reason for not having draft classes this yr:

it requires some work to be done in ncaa due to the fact that they have the new storylines and all that in madden to show off this yr. since theres no ncaa data in the classes to support the new feature, it would essentially "break the game" (mike young's words) due to the fact there'd be no storylines and twitter feeds on any of the draftees and they dont want that considering this is their big deal this yr.

other than that, didnt really learn anything we didnt already find out around e3. it was worth the listen to clear up the draft class not being there issue. and based off of how lazy and sloppy ncaa dev team is, it can also be confirmed that they wont be patching this ability in this yr either. ncaa still has broken uniform degradation on white uni's for the 2nd yr now. we know theres no way in hell they will be patching in any storyline info to help madden get draft classes this yr. they wont do that until theyre forced to.

Realizing there have been a ton of articles and interviews since E3 but obviously the answers to all of those questions weren't widely known or they wouldn't have been included in the discussion. There were 2 in particular that EA is having to look into to even be able to provide an answer; 1) Can a coach in a CC franchise place a player on IR in order to free up a roster spot? 2) Does the salary cap in a franchise increase by predetermined values or is it variable?

I don't think many people had heard about the CC website being designed in HTML5 so that it would work better on mobile devices/tablets and having the ability to advance a week by SMS message either.

The spot for some sim madden leagues right there and nice interview!

[TimakaHines]

Do they address Trey Wingo's role? I'm so frustrated as to why they haven't addressed this outright. I've heard he's doing some narrating for draft classes, but haven't heard any elaboration on this.

[jbd345]

At least they gave a reason why, instead of the over used "ran out of time " excuse.

Still Waiting on why Josh Looman's edited Rosters throughout the season can be uploaded into CC mode but not our own

EDIT: Man it was late.....Meant Donny Moore
