Madden was just nominated for best in show at E3. That's promising.

I think you're spot on that it could be tied to O'Bannon. One would think that they would alleviate any likeness issues by simply allowing customization - nonetheless the last thing EA may want are a bunch of videos surfacing that showcase guys like Watson and Fournette represented in Madden. That just doesn't fit the ethos of what they're trying to do.

I don't think that's the reason. It's all about money. If the NCAA game ever gets launched back up, a large portion buy it because they can import draft classes to Madden.

Has anyone seen if they brought back the teams a guy played for in the stats screen?

I'm surprised they didn't fix this. Seems like it would be very simple to randomize this.

Seriously? How is that still an issue?

This is the kind of thing that is "Maddening."



Unrelated Q: can we choose opponent uniforms?

It wasn't in Madden 08.

It's a few lines of code to randomize teams for crying out loud.
