I believe fifa is there in Orlando too

Nah. Fifa is in Vancouver. They have a huge office and a soccer field.

I am not a fan of these games working together on features. Madden franchise is already too far behind. It will lead to many things getting left out because they are not relevant to all games. We will end up with an f-35.

What are some items you think would be football survivors that they may neglect?

Because when I think of things I want like a team builder similar to NCAA, historical and indepth stat tracking, custom draft classes, assistant coaches, mock drafts, pregame presentation, create a stadium, or create a jersey I think they could be used in both sports.

One thing bothers me when I hear them talk about feature sharing. Do you guys remember when the generation started and one of the biggest talking points about the ignite engine was that it would allow them to share features and technology across all EA Sports games. Well that didn't seem to happen. What happened with that ? And how are we supposed to believe now they have figured it out ? That was one of their big selling points on Ignite

Things like a functional practice squad and formations subs. Those would be neglected because they are football specific. They would also try to force things to operate the same. Regression is different in basketball aND football, the salary caps operate different. They already dumb a lot of this stuff down but forcing it will result in things being kept much simpler. I want a much more in depth franchise and I fear this is going to make it more basic.

I'm thinking the features will possibly be more 'conceptual' sharing. U know? Like, not necessarily sharing code, but more sharing concepts. And, then some possible concepts might also be direct ports of code, but u can never be sure of that.

The infinity engine thing really upset me, man. Lol. And, I don't know the level of sharing/unsharing, but I loved M13. And, as an avid FIFA player, I saw how Madden could move forward with ignite and become a true physics based football game. But, too many people frowned on M13, and/or Rex and company didn't like something. I still remember him talking about having to switch from a more physics based engine in M13 to back to the same old garbage canned animation nonsense.

I really think if they had embraced infinity and built on top of it differently, we could have a pretty solid physics based madden by now. And, don't get me wrong, I like the game and appreciate where they're at and some of the things they've implemented over the past few years (WR/DB interactions as a prime example), but Fifa 17 has absolutely blown me away in terms of player control. U can do everything and anything u need to with every player. And, they all have height, weight, momentum, speed based on every unique player. The ball physics are truly amazing with spin and curve attributes that when u see a replay, you're amazed at what they've done.

So, yeah, I really wish they stuck with infinity and improved some of the glitches including, specifically, the after tackle pileups that looked SO BAD!!! Lol. That was the only real issue I saw in that game, and as such, still can't figure out why people didn't like it more. I thought M25 was a complete letdown after 13, but it is what it is.

Continue to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst (especially, with madden's history ).
