This idea that the "casuals" will be scared away by realism is ridiculous. Not everyone will have an appreciation for everything that people, on here, have been clamoring for, but it wouldn't turn them off. A franchise mode with all the bells and whistles of HC09 won't turn people away. Making size and strength matter won't turn people away. Adding real-time physics, whenever it's added, won't scare people away. Eliminating "bowling pin tackling" won't scare people away.

If sales weren't declining, you could make the argument that adding these things wouldn't do EA any good because people don't care, but sales are declining. Apparently people care, and they want to see this title advance.
Sorry, you don't know my nephew.

He took HC back after 2 days. Said it was too complex and the game play too boring.

If he's not a "Casual Fan", does he sound like a hard core fan to you?
