THAT"S WHAT EA SAYS THEY ARE NOW DOING:

"Another key factor in the development of our annual sports franchises is that we compete with other games in the industry that are often in development over much longer cycles, in many cases spanning 2-3 years. If we build our games one year at a time, it becomes very difficult to deliver fundamental innovation in our technology because many of the core innovations take multiple years to develop before they are ready to be rolled into our games. What we have done within our football group is we have an Advance Team that is dedicated to working on the technology and feature innovations of the future. This is an additional investment that does not take away from our ability to deliver our games this year."

They are ultimately in the business to make money, and for the most part their football games on this yearly release cycle wildly succeed to this end.
people that continue to post responses like this clearly are missing the point.

#1, we aren't saying they will ever do this because like we've said many times, theres too much money to be made by releasing a new game every year.

#2, we aren't saying we dont enjoy the game year to year or dont want to buy it each year.

#3, what we are saying is that the more time they have to develop the game, the larger the improvements you will see and the better quality game you will get. Thats not to say the game is no good or they dont do a good job but if they had more time then maybe some of the glitches you get would be noticed and fixed during development, the modes we ask for may be added because they have more time to implement them, the graphics would be improved, etc.

Coming back with the "well then don't buy it for a year" arguement clearly shows that you're missing the whole point of this conversation.

Re: Does anybody wish...

No offense to the OP because I see you are kinda new. But between the Madden forum and this forum we have had this discussion countless times.

I'm gonna lock it up.
