I think Madden as we knew it is pretty much dead, The last chance Madden had for anything resembling a decent football game was when Ian took over and he was not able to deliver. This 3 year plan stuff is just an excuse to only change a couple of things each year.

This console gen is stretching out a lot longer than expected so we are going to be stuck with this same graphic and animation engine for 3 more years which was seriously flawed to being with.

I just hope the exclusive license runs out in time for Next gen NFL football to be made by someone else cause EA has shown without a doubt that they cannot make a realistic next gen football game and I'd hate them to be in control when the next consoles hit the market.

Things have stagnated so much since 2004 that I'm simply bored to death of football videogames. Backbreaker was a nice breath of fresh air but they screwed that game up with un balanced gameplay but at least it was something different and a step in the right direction
