Their marketing team sucks. That was a good interview.

I like how candid Rex is about his frustrations. Let's hope this team sticks around for a while.

Word, he pretty much said that in the first 5 minutes.

Definitely worth a listen.

The entire CFM team listened to the show tonight, these guys really do care about making this game what we want.

How can you not love Rex Dickson? That guy just has so much natural integrity and charisma. I hope you all will ask him about some of the little features that are very popular requests amongst the SI'm community. Stuff like 32-team control, formation subs, etc etc. I trust Rex to give us a fun football game.


I can't WAIT to see what they're doing with franchise mode.
