There's not enough intricate detail in Madden for it to have Skill Trees and stuff like that.

I think this is the biggest problem the football gaming community faces.

My brother-in-law spends every spare minute gaming. Name it, he's played it, and probably completed it/leveled out. Dude CANNOT play Madden. Multiple versions, multiple attempts. Can't do it.

Madden isn't a game the average person can pick up and be good at. Its just not. I don't care what mode. I don't care how many skills trainers they roll out.

Want an arcade game everyone can play? Sure, have at it. Go remake Tecmo Bowl. Thats not what the overwhelming majority of your community is looking for.

I think we're at a point where we need multiple football games. A one-size-fits-all version can't be done at this point.
