They have painted themselves in a corner, by stating the focus was on game-play alone, I'm not arguing that. I just prefer that they refrain, as they seem to have done, from adding any new features( some would call them gimmicks) and focus on correcting the issues at hand. It won't be an epic fail if the game-play doesn't knock everyone's sock off. I hope it does, but let's be real about this. They've been dissappoining us for six years now; I'm not saying that Madden 11 is going to be a dissappointment, I just don't suspect that heads will start rolling if it is.
