The thing that hurts your argument is that games like NBA 2K16 exist and prove that all of these things can be done in the year 2016 (or in their case, 2015).

2k has been building off the same foundation for years now, this Madden team has had to rebuild from the the dark ages.

Actually, it doesn't. It does all come down to priority, timing and resources.

It wasn't a high priority on the wishlist.

It's no secret that Madden is playing catch-up. That is just the reality of the situation. They can't add everything in one year. The guys who took over a couple years ago are delivering on everything they have promised.

You can't compare Madden to 2K. It's not a fair fight. 2K did not screw up a whole generation like Madden did.

All we can do is just be happy these guys are serious about taking Madden to a new level.

The third option, which has been a community request, lets you slow down the game so you can watch each play unfold on the field in live action using the broadcast camera.

That is from the CFM blog #1. Maybe cpu vs cpu is an option this year.

And it's that kind of mentality that holds games back from being great. It wasn't high on the 2k16 wishlist either, but they did it anyway. No one expected that kind of customization from them last year, but they did it and blew away everyone's expectations. EA hypes first and then brings us things like "big decisions" which will probably become an annoyance after a few weeks, rather than delivering on innovative features. Pretty simple to see the difference between the two.

I don't mean this to be a debate between 2K and EA, that's not my intention. I just think it's ridiculous to say that they "can't" do something that is already being done.
