I replied to your statement that "Madden makes a ton of money BECAUSE it has the NFL exclusive, Period."

And really I have no idea why anyone would think Madden is or will become a simulation (full) NFL game. It will unfortunetly always be Madden.
It's a football game with some sim aspects but no where near where I'd like it.

We seriously need some more options and hopefully before I get too old to play we'll see that again.

It is what it is and I'll enjoy the game for what it is and not dwell on what it isn't..
To be continued...

I just want 1 question answered.. Is the ticker only a goal ticker or will it update you on things going on around your cfm league?? can I please get a direct answer for this....

also all of this talk about sim vs casual.... casual players are sheep.. all they do is follow what the majority does... make a game for your hardcore fans.. get good word of mouth and the casuals will follow... look at nba 2k..thats why they are the most acclaimed sports game. period.

No. Casual fans are simply that casual fans.
Why does anyone who isn't a carbon copy of someone else as far as likes and dislikes always belittled.
God that gets old.

I agree, they shouldn't be belittled. Though there is no argument that casual fans buy Madden because of the shield on the box.

Agree.....but that doesn't make them "Sheep"
and they account for the vast majority of sales I believe.
Reason Madden isn't going New Coke any time soon lol

@skyboxer.. I use the term sheep because I played 2k since 2knothing and everyone was playing live.. but I kept telling them 2k is more realistic and that's all you need to be successful.. they laughed.. 13 years later the more realistic game is still around and they play 2k now all of a sudden... the one that doesn't listen to its hardcore fans is on life support.. casuals go with the wind but passionate fans keep you around.. hence madden needs to start listening to its hardcore fans quickly... now whats up with the ticker????????????

Ur point that NFL is to blame just as much as madden is probably the single smartest thing I have heard, I once thought but never expressed! So true..EA eats the blame 99% of the time but really it's the NFL's fault!

Y'ALL SO GULLIBLE , there's no real changes to the game here, y'all forgot about living worlds, true step improvements to every player, next gen gameplay, AI intelligence. They promised us this, and we get menu improvements and you clowns happy about menu improvements....smh.. only real improvement I saw was wr/db interactions that's it....
