Madden 18 CFM Interview with Clint Oldenburg(Sports Gamers Online)

[JayD]

I guarantee that the majority of people, like myself, would skip the pro bowl. I'm sure this is not a high priority and the extra ram can be used for other more important aspects of the game.

[SageInfinite]

Pro Bowl is simply not a priority. If it was, they'd figure out a way to make it happen...

[roadman]

Does anyone watch the Pro Bowl? 4.6% ratings?

It would be and is way down on my priority list.

I agree. No one watches it in real life. Maybe they just give you "stats" and stories from the game. Unless they do that already. To be honest, never even bothered to check. I'm hard on ea when it comes to franchise mode improcements or lack there of, but this I agree with them.

Now about adding a weekly cgi wrap up show.......

I think the problem that the .00005% of people who are screaming for Pro Bowl and individual helmets and such are focusing way too much on it existing on older gen. Just don't work that way that if something was in past gen that it automatically must go in the new versions and/or that "it's easy".

Yeah, this is completely ridiculous.

It has nothing to do with technical specifications or limitations, it has everything to do with development priority, driven by revenue. There isn't a revenue incentive for EA to spend the development time building in a Pro Bowl. Yet, there is the revenue incentive for EA to make an Ultimate Feast Turkey MUT card



There's nothing technical preventing anything, it's about revenue priority. For Madden NFL Football, turkey-based trading cards are a higher revenue priority than accurately portraying an NFL season.

[roadman]

Based on the TV ratings alone, it's barely in the conversation as part of the "NFL Season."
