There are things I really like about the new direction and things I absolutely hate. But something I've hated for years is the constant removing of features they just added. I think of all the wasted time on things that are quickly taken out instead of the series taking the steps forward that it should have been. H E double toothpics, I'll give them credit if they stop constantly trying to reinvent and then remove, but instead stay in one direction.

I like this analogy.

Then the OP comes in here and says "Hey, TV dinners taste good, and that little brownie was always fun when I was a kid. It's just dinner, what do you expect? ... and who doesn't like Salisbury steak?"

I have a feeling that the next generation of consoles will re-introduce the idea of competition to football gaming. Unless something happens between now and about February or March of next year, next year will be the last year of exclusivity for NFL Football. A lot has happened since the exclusivity deal was signed and it seems pretty unlikely that it will get extended passed Madden 14. This is all my opinion and not fact so please don't sue me if it doesn't happen like this lol.

Disagree, they aren't naive, either. The mods have already stated EA already received the message.

Beyond that, it's a wait and see approach.

Again, disagree about EA getting the message. We've been waiting all console generation for some things to get fixed or added that still aren't in 13. We need to keep the messages going.

And that is because we are all picky eaters, lol.

Couldn't let that one, slide.

The way our kids eat, it's a wonder they are still alive.lol

Wait, he was specifically talking about editing and co-oping, which is what I was talking about.

Disagree, again, no need to generalize when we don't know results of the efforts above.
