I could have told you that.

And it is largely on the shoulders of the leaders rather than the dev team. I am convinced of this... if the devs had a say, the game would take a lot more chances to push innovation.

Unfortunately, in the end, it is a business.

Let's wait toward the end of this gen to tell us what we already know. Stand up job as always EA.

Acquiring exclusive rights was both the saviour and the death knell for Madden.
Without competition, Madden stays safe, and without competition there is nothing for EA to rip off.

It was a pure selfish, arse-saving manoeuvre for EA. The consumers are the only losers here.

Thanks for sharing.

I love it when reps for a particular game come out and admitt/acknowleges a issue that fanboys have been trying to defend for a long time.
