Most of us are also NCAA guys too. We are here at OS because we basically play all the sports games for the most part. I want NCAA back as bad as you do

Still wrong. Shareholders don't make decisions. They expect to financially benefit from the executives who make decisions.

And the Devs aren't the executives

But you said the shareholders are the ones who make decisions?

Basically Madden wont improve because ppl need their football fix, whether college heads or NFL, and will buy regardless. Mut players will buy packs even with subpar gameplay upgrades, and complaining on here will mostly get responded to by referencing other games or a choice to just give up football games all together. Same cycle and lies about improvements actual bettering the overall game. Madden Plays different, with different bugs, and some will defend and minimize it while others yell at the rooftops. Bottom line is....we are paying them regardless and stopping little by little wont affect much. If hundreds of thousands sit out a few years then MAYBE we get the change we want.

It's all about options...and said options implemented very well. We all play the game differently based on what we like as individuals and where we are in life. Like one dude said earlier, and similar to him, at 43 years old with a wife, kids and other obligations, i don't play games the same as I did when i was a teen or a single bachelor in my 20's. The time isn't there. So Ive transitioned from playing every game and controlling everything to more coach mode and cpu vs cpu spectator mode.

Games I would have scoffed at a decade or 2 ago like Out of The Park Baseball are now appealing. So, now what means the most to me is how the action plays out on the field with ratings and animations dictating everything with no user input except for playcalling or coach decision making as well as having the ability to have a deep coaching experience within Franchise Mode...and that's where I get frustrated with Madden as opposed to a game like 2k or MLB The Show...or even NCAA Football...because with the small time window that I do have I can be immersed.

Now I say all of that while knowing that im a minority. EA aren't looking at guys like me. My group are pretty much getting phased out which is why you are beggining to see some of us dig back in the crates to play older versions despite the game being outdated or less pretty.

Im willing to say that if i were 15-20 I would prolly be all up in MUT and MyPark in 2k etc. But thats not how I came up playing games so it doesn't appeal to me now. At any rate at the end of the day we all gotta find what satisfies us with the game. If Madden 20 doesn't satisfy then dont buy it. We have over 30 years worth of selections to turn back to. If it does satisfy then do you...

I wish I was paid a nickel every time this was said over the past 15 years, I would be able to retire earlier.

This has been said many thousand of times throughout those 15 years and yet, still, here we are.
