Many of my friends are casual gamers and they don't like Madden at all. Not much changes, and they'd rather play Blitz on the nintendo. Now they all liked playing NFL 2K5, and they enjoy NCAA 11 a decent bit, but not Madden. If it's not going to change a lot then why?

And Madden is catering to the new gamer but I don't think they realize how hard it is to understand for the new gamer. They can't get a good game out of the box, you need sliders. For franchise mode, you need to control all 32 teams and do a lot of work for it to be somewhat realistic. Way too much work for the new gamer who wants to just pick up and play, or take the Lions to the super bowl.
