*sighs*

I am not Ian, nor do I work on Madden. I am NOT a programmer, and couldn't tell you the first thing about how they're created.

BUT...

I will tell you right now why Madden is never going to get better physics/animations etc. It's because the engine is crap. Plain and simple. Since the development cycles are so short, and EA wants a title out yearly, the team really has their hands tied. The time that it takes to develop a new engine, get the bugs out and build a game around it is just too long and they AREN'T going to skip a year to get it right.

So basically until 2013, or next gen don't expect anything more then what we have now. The engine is broke and I'm pretty sure that deep down Ian and co. would like to start from scratch but they just can't because there's not enough time. So basically, we're just going to have to deal with it and wait patiently.
