EA sports has held down exclusives for arguably the most popular sports in America in college and pro football. With this comes a great responsibility to live up to consumer demands. There is a lot of frustration out there about the development paths these games have taken since jumping to next gen. So the question I raise for debate is, does EA realize that if they continue to not meet consumer demands, are they worried that if or when they do loose the license(s) people will not only abandon them, but will do so gladly just because of the compiled number of let downs each annual edition of the game brings and the growing resentment towards the company as a whole.
This is especially true for the NCAA Football series, as it seems Madden has adopted a new philosophy in their development.
I do realize they have a very strong consumer base, but I have to ask are they building for the future with these games or are they just trying to amass as much $ as they can before they loose the license, by consistently releasing unfinished or buggy products that they can keep people coming back for with the hopes of those problems being fixed the next year.
