Totally different situation and also a new leadership team is in place. History isn't always repeated, especially when changes take place.

I am not exactly sure about the timing but I do think that's a good comparison though. If I remember correctly, they pretty much said that they had added a new commentary tech used in FIFA and NHL during M12 development and that would help "future" commentary. However, much like this year with the past Franchise features not available in M13 CC, last year many people were saying "future" didn't necessarily mean M13. So considering Looman did generally address these issues with, he is not putting anything like that in until it's perfect and some other general statements, it's kind of up for interpretation what that means for M14, like commentary was for M13.

Matter of fact, I don't think they ever come out and guaranteed something specific for the next year, even with M11 when they announced no substantial Franchise upgrades they gave a general time like "going forward" or something, not guaranteeing it for M12.

Hopefully those comparisons bode well for M14 because even though they didn't give direct guarantees, the other two did end up major focuses the following year.

@Big the reason they rarely guarantee stuff like this is gonna be in next year is bugs and other things can come up that they may not be able to fix in time. first lesson of customer relations is never guarantee something till you have it ready. i play wow and other mmos and they do things similarly when they bring servers down. they try to put out a general time for things to be back up but never guarantee anything till they are up

I agree. In that post I was just trying to answer the question and show that as personally new some of this stuff may be for some, EA/Tiburon has behaved similarly in the past, imo.

Wanted to post this here with Looman at least directly addressing draft classes.

GE – Can you elaborate to our readers why the feature has been excluded in this year’s game?

JL – Due to the completely rebuilt nature of Connected Careers we have to totally rewrite the logic that governs draft classes and how they’re handled in Madden NFL. It’s an important feature that we want to be sure is done right, and unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to include it in this year’s game. We understand it is a feature many of our fans love, so we’re working hard to get it back into the game as quickly as possible.

One look around and you'd get the reasons that have been stated time and time again. Easier to just spout off crap and have zero quality input though.
