I haven't really posted anything in regards to the information that has come out in the past few weeks yet. I've been out of town & also, the majority of my time with the game was spent with gameplay & custom playbooks, so others can, and have, answer your questions about some of that better than I. That being said, here are some tidbits from my POV:

-Coaching Carousel has never been high on my personal wish list, though I do completely understand why it is for some people and am happy it made it in this year. That being said, I think what they have done with the feature this year is a very solid base. I don't think I am out of line saying, more than anything in discussing this with the devs you get the impression that their goal was to introduce a feature that added quite a bit to the game this year, but more than anything, lays the groundwork to build on in the proper manner for the future. Believe me when I say that the feature as it stands this year is in no way their final goal, it is a well thought out base that adds to the game this year while building for the future. Please don't take this as saying that the feature as it stands this year isn't a HUGE addition, it most definitely is. It is going to be really fun to see how people's dynastys evolve as their coaches progress. Great stuff!

-I think I can speak for most of the CD attendees when I say that Custom Conferences were the HOLY CRAP moment for most of us at the first event. It was something that none of us really expected in the first place & it was also ridiculously impressive to see how well thought out and executed the feature was. The detail of what you can customize & adjust in just the first iteration of this feature was stunning to us all.

-As I said before, Custom Playbooks are where I spent most of my time outside of gameplay and they are very well done. The ease of use is impressive, as is the size of the playbooks. Overall a great feature!

Please ask any questions you may have, though I'm sure most have been answered as best as possible.
