EA CEO Speaks of an Innovative and New Take on Madden?

IGN has the juice.

Quote:
"Electronic Arts says next Madden title will be different. Significantly.

During a conference call with investors this afternoon, CEO John Riccitiello stated both Dead Space 2 and an "innovative" Madden, presumably Madden NFL 2011, will be available during the company's 2011 fiscal year, which ranges from April 2010 through March 2011.

"Looking at Fiscal 2011, I think we've got a fabulous title plan," Riccitiello stated. "We've got a great new version of Medal of Honor, a revitalized Need for Speed, Sims on console, FIFA in a World Cup year, an innovative and new take on Madden, Dead Space 2, Crysis at full margins, a new MMA game, and many others."

Re: EA CEO Claims New Take on Madden

You beat me to it! This should cause quite a stir on these forums. Maybe this new "innovation" will finally make this "the year".... Or does it go back to the course of arcade style football.....

Man, as much as I don't want to jump to any conclusions, this does not look good.

I hope it isn't something horrible like a Wii style motion game.

You beat me by a few minutes lol. Well I started a thread on it as well, but since has asked that it be closed. Here's what I posted.

From past experiences with the Madden franchises, Madden + Innovative = Trouble

This news, coupled with the news that Mark Turmell ( NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, etc) is the new creative director for EA's NCAA and Madden football franchises, looks real bad for us sim football fans.

Oh boy! I'm hoping that Madden keeps going in the right direction, but it sounds like we're in for some kind of drastic change this year. Sure would be nice if we could ask Ian about this. Thanks to all the guys that ran him away.
Anyway, as you can tell, I feel like this will be the end of the "sim" Madden as we know it.

Re: EA CEO Claims New Take on Madden

I think another worrying quote is:

" The EA CEO had previously expressed his thoughts on the "discouraging" sales of Madden NFL 10."

Re: EA CEO Claims New Take on Madden

It's way too early for people to start jumping off bridges.

Since when does innovative mean arcade? Just because a new person with an arcade title background came on board?
