Is the Madden name coming to an end?

I was wondering if Madden's time is coming to an end in the videogame world. Everyone knows Madden himself has lost a step and with him leaving to NBC and ESPN coming to EA sports it seems like the best time to rebrand the game. At this point branding (and bad commentary) is all he really gives to the game. I can see how the Madden brand was needed, but now EA has the only NFL action in town. Finally, with commentary playing a big role in sports games, how long can the poor job done by the game continue.

Any thoughts on this?

I think its time to dump the Madden name. You're right, since EA is the only official licensed NFL title it shouldnt make any difference.

I've been wanting EA to dump Madden for a long time and now is the time

The new next-gen EA games for 2006 will be the last to feature Maddens name.

I second the emotions above. It is all but confirmed that Madden 06 is the last EA NFL game to carry the Madden brand. The 07 series, debuting in 2006, will feature the ESPN brand.

I think it is time for a total over haul similar to how they did MVP baseball.

I think we'll see that with the first true next-gen offerings. Many people need to remember that Madden 06 is just an upgraded 05 game with some enhancements. The new engine won't be out until next year. I won't say that the game will be greatly improved, but I believe the overhaul will be much like the MVP change.

I wonder if the Xbox 06 Madden will work on the new 360. I would love to hold off on the 360 Madden until next year.
