Unless you're proposing the series move to a sequel format like Winning Eleven, your proposal offers zero resolution. If we want a yearly game, this is how it is.

However, a larger staff may help with these issues...

How bout this... RELEASE THE GAME WHEN IT IS THOROUGHLY TESTED AND FINISHED.

Ncaa was not ...CLEARLY. Who in the hell says the game has to come out on the same day every year. JUST release the game when it is DONE. Whether it be the first week of august or the last week in January.

So if they took the time one year to fix things like you see in NCAA, this SHOULD shorten the develop time next cycle. But even if it didn't DONT RELEASE THE GAME UNTIL IT IS FINISHED.

I believe they have a "deadline" from the NFL as to when the game is supposed to be released. Not 100% sure, but seems as though I have read/seen that a few times before.

No matter how good madden is people will complain. some people will love it. some people will be lookin for stuff wrong with it. and they def. gonna look for something to exploit. What people got to understand is its a game. it will not be perfect. if you dont like what you see or hear about it dont buy it. its that simple. People like myself are still gonna buy it. AND PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT AP2k8 because is not that good. that game is wack. (IMO)

Sorry I don't see why the nfl or any other sports league would set a deadline on a video game's release. Especially when its released even before final cuts are made on the teams. Makes no sense in my opinion. I don't see any mention of that ANYWHERE on the internet either. EA paid for the licensing then the NFL in turn tells EA when it has to release the game?

like I said, I am not 100% sure that its true, just that I remember seeing/reading/hearing it somewhere.

My mistake.
