Madden should follow NBA Live's example

I'd like to see a poll on how many are still playing a football game from 4-5years ago on the next-gen console lol.

M10 is the best Madden to date, and the only football title in the present date. M10 is not the most realistic football title (like it claims) to date.
For your info, they have been building on this current Madden engine for years! This is the same engine that has been used since 06. If Madden keeps having the same problems as previous Maddens, then it looks like this engine is at its peak. Time for a new engine.
I am not implying they go back to an old engine from 04-05. You're right that would be stupid. I am saying that they go to a totally different engine, or have people in charge that fix this engine, and actually put in the improvements to make it have realistic gameplay.
You can go watch or even play an APF2K8 game, and see that it has a more realistic representation of football. Watch the animations, the way the computer calls its plays, the way the cpu combats the user when the user keeps selecting the same play. Its NOT the PERFECT realistic representation, but it has the most REALISTIC gameplay to date. Does it have everything we want in a football title? No, but the way the gameplay on the field plays so much more realistic and better than Madden.

You're right there are more people playing M10 more than any other football title right now, but that's because M10 is the only present football title available. People play this game because simply, it is the only NFL game out there. That doesnt make it a good game.

Good points on the game engine. I think its time to produce an engine specifically for the next-gen systems(ie. euphoria). I don't know if that means canning the current one or not. I'm not behind closed doors, so to speak.

I'm all for getting the makers of ESPN 2k5, Backbreaker, Madden on PS2, guys from Japan or whoever else has the ability to put together a "next-gen football gaming engine".

Put all these guys in a production room and let them figure out this whole " Sim football gaming" experience.
We are still using a Port from the 360 on the PS3, thats the stuff that irks me.
