I really like this game. I think it's not perfect but I think a lot of the complaints are unjusified for the most part and people just don't k now what they are doing. Does this game live up to the hype? Maybe not, but it's the best madden I've ever played by far. I'm actually really surprised at all the people that don't like this game. It's bizarre, because I usually agree with the consensus in these forums for the most part, but not on this game. To answer the original question, yes I like the direction EA is going with this game. No, I don't think gamers have really grasped it yet. I also think people expected too much. I'm not saying this game doesn't have things that should be added, and glitches that need to be fixed, but I like the core game and the direction it appears to be headed. Everything I've read is that next year they will refine the game and make the presentation better. That sounds like a good direction to me.
