why not track down the original 2k5 programmers and design team and bring them onto the madden project. imagine what they could do with todays resources. imagine what it would be like to have the features of madden 2020, but be able to play that game in 2011 or 12.

not trying to hate, just being realistic.
Because EA is in the business of making money?

The 2k football titles had their admirers, but their sales figures were to (put it kindly) weak. The only time they topped a million units sold was NFL 2k5, but they had to practically give the thing away to do it.
