We want to bring something really special to the table for this group of people so we’re going to make sure we work to create something that will stand the test of time for the long-term future of Madden NFL.

Man, I don't know. Ian sometimes talks in circles when it comes to what the goals for improvements are. Telemetry stated that a huge group of people like to control their team through the franchise mode... However, a couple of months ago, telemetry also stated that no one is playing franchise / superstar mode so there is no reason to improve these modes. I feel like I'm following a politician.
