Has Madden become so uninnovative and irrelevant that we are talking about next year's game before this year's is barely a month old?

When did ref's start wearing black pants? Living overseas for years hasn't been good to me as far as keeping in touch with referee fashion.

Tis' Would be epic.

It was tried once with Blitz: The League on Xbox. http://www.gamespot.com/blitz-the-le...eview-6135929/

when i first seen this i kinda laughed to myself thinking about every thing else needed. but i sat back and thought about what this could lead to. if this does become a reality then i believe they will have to focus on getting penalties to work correctly. they also may add penalties to the game. id like to bring back illegal touching penalty (might have been ncaa that had it). they also could include defensive holding or illegal contact, which could lead to even better wr/cb play. the ability to challenge any aspect of a play would also be a nice touch. it would also be nice seeing a full explanation of a penalty. overall it would be a nice touch to the presentation. im not saying id purchasebecause of this feature, but im not going to complain about a nice feature either.

I can see people are still not reading the OP.

1. This news didn't come from EA, came from the NFL referee union.
2. It hasn't been verified by EA, so, for now, it's a rumor.
3. A plead from Steve for no off-topic discussion.
4. A similar and more threatening plead from a mod on page 2 or 3.

While this subject is being discussed, I wish they would add the actually replay to challenges online, at least have an option for it. When playing NBA2k12 online, if they have to review a shot at the buzzer for the end of any quarter, if I am not mistaken, it shows the actually video replay. In Madden online, ranked, CCM, community etc, in a User v User game, it never shows the actually video replay of the challenge.

I am not saying it's some big deal, it's just another little thing there should be an option for. Not everyone wants to get the game over with as fast as possible, I would enjoy actually playing the game of football and experiencing small elements like that.

That will NEVER happen. This is the NFL. The same NFL that shut down ESPN's hit show "Playmakers". The NFL thought it was "too real". No way they let Madden put a M-tag on their game.
