Well FIFA has pretty much always been much bigger than Madden (globally) - it sells around twice the copies. They have a much bigger audience and are, of course, going to have even more incentive to fix small problems as well as implementing the features fans want.

That comes from being the #1 sports game, which FIFA almost always is, and has been for a long time. To be fair, Madden has rarely truly been in this #1 spot, at best they have shared it with FIFA.

Madden IS a cash cow, but it is all relative.

Being that soccer is a global sport, FIFA has always been and always will be EA Sports cash cow. Madden isn't sold in too many countries outside of the USA, Canada and UK.

Where as FIFA is sold in about 100 different countries or more.

I believe Madden isn't a top rated game because they have no competition. They've simply gone down in quality since 2004/2005. The transition to next-gen gaming was probably a tough one but you'd think in 2012, the product would be (arguably) better than a version 7 years ago with all the improvements possible with next gen systems. But it's not, IMO, and hopefully there can be another 2k game to incite some real quality.

Just like 2k likes to work on their beloved game of basketball.
Sony delivering a solid title like MLB
So why cant MAdden deliver the same type of quality.

Not surprising about the better review. Soccer is a much easier game to program than football because virtually all the players perform the same actions.

Let's not forget the new GM of both football games came from FIFA.

Exactly, I thought this would be the first thing someone said.

PES pushes FIFA.

If there was no NBA 2k11, Elite would have been released along with a patch.

There's no one pushing Madden.

Re: And once again, EA has a sport game Review better than Madden

Because fifa is nearly perfect in all areas and actually listens to us and fixes stuff and doesnt make excuses like, "we will put in in next year" other words. Couldnt be arsed. Madden only just deserves a 7/10!

NFL 2K13

Considering EA had their exclusive license extended this year (IE it's possible that could end finally - we can dream), I'd love to see 2k bring out a football game next year or the year after, that just randomly obliterates Madden and leaves EA scrambling.

Re: And once again, EA has a sport game Review better than Madden

It's nice dreaming, but 2k doesn't have the money for a license. There stock price is real low currently.
