What are you talking about?

I'm pretty sure that mobile madden has its own team. So no resources were taken from consoles to develop it. I'm not 100% sure, more like 99%.

I'd rather have an app that lets me manage things in my franchise.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. YES!

Full franchise control when away from the console is an absolute must.

Keep the end user playing, and thinking about the game i always say.

Seriously, madden team should take a page fom the ncaa team, and improve on it.

There more people that play games on iOS/Android than all consoles combined. In 2013 EA's combined mobile downloads was 143 million which accounted for $470 million in revenue. Think of it from a business standpoint and not as a consumer and you'll know why they would create a mobile version.

Even so EA has multiple studios that work on different games. The team working on the console versions probably isn't spending any time working on the mobile version. Like someone else said I am not 100% sure on this but i am 99% sure. As far as there being so much work to be done that is subjective.

Last year's free-to-play was bad and it looks like this year's is free-to-play again. Meh. I would pay $5-$10 for a solid mobile version.

# 7 Brandwin @ 08/12/14 11:53 AM

Eh... I'll give it a try, but don't expect much.

Didn't the NFL hold a contest for a new mobile game. Maybe that will be a solid football game on our mobile device.

Then post your complaints in a console-dedicated threads, not a thread on the mobile game...

They will not see ANY EXTRA money from me until, the CONSOLE version in up to 2014 standards, and if they keep it up, they will be loosing my $60 a year too.

First why would you spend $60 a year on a game without doing some research to see if you actually like the game and it is improved? You could spend $2.00 to rent it and try it our first, read the thousands of impressions articles that will be posted on here, go to Gamestop or Best Buy after release and play it in the store for free, go to a friend's house who has it.

As has already been explained just because the games share the Madden name it doesn't mean resources are being taken away from the console version to focus on this game. EA has two studios in LA and Montreal that focus on nothing but mobile games including all the sports franchise versions (FIFA, Madden etc).

The NFLPA did, not the NFL.

Super bump I know, does anyone on OS play this? They have a new system where you can create leagues, just was wondering if any of the OS faithful play this. It's not that bad for a free game TBH.
