Yeah Madden NFL XXV is my vote too.

What do you all think of the naming convention change this year?
It's telling that EA's opening volley on this new iteration of Madden is what to call it/whom to show on the cover. They could of course focus on telling us what exactly is going to constitute "the deepest and most innovative" features of the game, but that likely wouldn't please marketing.

hopefully with this statement they actually fix all gameplay issues thats been in the previous yrs since the ps2 day's. that way when they move to the ps4 and xbox 720 that will all be worked out and not still be a beta tested version for new system's.
Isn't this what they say every year.

You guys need to understand that marketing is typically a fixed cost. Saying they overspend on marketing is foolish since they are probably throwing the same amount from year to year, adjusted to the amount of cash they have lying around.

In addition, most of you guys think Madden is purchased by every single person. That is not true, the hype machine helps boost sales and gets more people excited about a product. That buzz is what draws some gamers to a product. Competition has nothing to do with it, a casual sports gamer would have trouble choosing between Madden and, lets say an FPS unless awareness was built up for a product and they were looking forward to it.

As for the name change, it's stupid.

Also I agree they need to kill all the over the top marketing they do for this game. The game damn near sells itself! There's no comp! All you honestly have to do is tell people the release date, lol. That's all alot of people, especially casuals, care about anyway. I don't know how many times I've been in a game store or talking with people and all they ask is when is the new madden coming out? That's all they care about. They get the release date and go buy it. IMO it's just wasted time with all this cover vote and cover athlete stuff.

I understand promoting your product and putting it out there, but they really go all out for such a sub-par product. I guess they have to since they don't have a great product to begin with. They have to live off the license and the legacy, not the quality.
You know, after reading this post it made me think about something. You are right about Madden basically selling itself so all the marketing and hype must be about something else. That something is image and relevancy to the business world, ie the NFL, share holders, advertisers, etc. I despise that there is so much going on around Madden that has absolutely nothing to do with actual gamers and everything to do with mass marketing of an established brand.

I can only hope that part of the alleged "lessons learned" by EA from next-gen Madden, is no longer paying for an exclusive NFL license. That way I can again have other NFL games to choose from and not give an eff about whatever marketing or whomever does with this game.

Here's the "monumental change" line from Madden 13

A "monumental change to Madden NFL gameplay creates the most authentic football experience to date, blurring the line between virtual and reality. "

This is obviously referring to the IE, but so far it's been a monumental collapse, the jury is still out on this one I guess.
