So will we get two Maddens?

They'd be silly to skip a launch. There is so much money to be made with a shiny new next-gen Madden?

A perfect example is the "move the batter around in the batters box" that was only added to MVP last year. That feature had been in baseball games for over a decade but when the xbox/ps2 generation of baseball games first came out EA removed it as an option. Now all of a sudden thier supposed to be brilliant for adding something to the game that is over 10 years old? Give me a break.

Your very first sentence is the most likely scenario. The rest is just pure EA bashing garbage. Do you have a clue as to what it takes in man hours to create a new engine for a videogame? Sometimes features get dropped. It's all in the name of getting the product out in time.

Except that it's all correct... It's what they do. And no, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with "time", and everything to do with "psychology" and "manipulation"

No, it isn't correct.

I'm still waiting for an acceptable reason why you EA bashers have yet to form your own company to release the "perfect" football game. I mean since it's so easy and everything, and EA is just toying with its consumers. And don't talk of exclusivity and EA's size. If you have the superior product, you should be able to sell it. Of course it's easier to sit on your butt and come up with half-baked theories and complain all the time.

It's correct... and go ahead and wait away. One either sees and understands how EA operates as a company, or they don't. You don't apparently. And I'm not in the habit of explaining the obvious.

Now that's a load of garbage. No one would have a problem if they would admit that they are understaffed and are just unable to put the features back in but ea acts like when they put old features in, that they are revoutionary.

It must be interesting living in a place where logic doesn't exist.

I don’t see it as a lack of logic. I see that some are simply interested in the games, and disinterested in exploring the realities underlying EA and their business practices. That’s all. And that’s why there’s little point in explaining or arguing any of it.

And given this a “gaming” site, maybe the “bashing” actually DOESN’T belong here. I generally don’t even bother getting involved with this pretty pointless exercise – that is, except when someone tries to tell me “That’s NOT correct”

It’s correct…
