Roger Goodell was confronted about Madden low review scores and he answered how a politician would

The NFL is not for gamers best interest only their own pockets $$$ and he probably not aware that video games is just as popular as movies if not even more now as the community grows each year.

Sort of I was hoping 2k or somebody else would get a shot at the License but the NFL keeps renewing it with EA so now I'm at peace at least no more expectations from me when it's time for EA next renewal.

The NFL will take whoever pays them the most money.

Quality and sales numbers are irrelevant to them.

They have a business deal in place. Goodell isn't going to jeopardize his bag nor those of the stockholders with a comment that publicly paints EA/Madden in a negative light and raises doubts about the future of their partnership.

The good thing here is that somebody approached him directly about it on camera. Just the fact that question was posed to him is arguably negative PR. That's something that the NFL's digital gaming and esports department will have to deal with.

You literally have to skip to 1:49, over 2/3rds into the video, to see the real footage. Youtube was a mistake.

EA is paying attention though. They have to.
For the first time in a long time, maybe ever, Madden football prior to its release date appears to be more negative than positive.

The negative noise is breaking through. more folks are voicing their negative comments and it isnt falling on deaf ears.

Madden's gimmick marketing and rebranding old features is catching up to them. Legacy issues etc are being pointed out, and the impact of social media will eventually make a dent.

Also, I dont think EA took into account that gamers would be gaming far into adulthood. with this philosophy, a company could rebrand old features etc, and get away with it.

Next year I wouldn't be surprised if the MAdden team shortens the trial time or push up the trial period a few days before release to stop the bleeding, or cancel the trial period altogether.
Kind of like when a high-budget movie, gets no reviews or early showings because the movie isn't any good.

thats my take.
