Alright Texans80AJ, if that is your real name(j/k), let me ask you.
What if EVERYTHING they have announced so far for Madden 12, is as incomplete and poorly implemented as some stuff in the past? Is there any reasonable chance of that making Madden 12 worse than Madden 11?
Personally, I have not been immersed or actually enjoyed a next-gen Madden, thus far. I only tolerated them because Madden is the only NFL game allowed. However, I can honestly say, if ALL the improvements announced for Madden 12, were a complete bust, I am still excitedly optimistic about the effort being demonstrated for trying to make a reasonable simulation NFL football game.
How can EA Football as a WHOLE, including devs, the new GM and even marketing, placing all this focus on being "TRUE" to core football fundamentals, be a negative?
