I guess breaking the game could happen.
But of course they would have stuff to sell next year. The same stuff they're selling now, just better.
1st year, sell the most realistic locomotion in a sports game, ever.
2nd year, sell the most realistic sports AI, ever.
3rd year, sell the best broadcast presentation, ever.
4th year, sell the best season/franchise, ever.
5th year, sell real NFL voices, onfield, pre/post game & half-time interviews.
6th year...
There's always something to sell. But IMO, a simulation sports game should look & play like one 1st. General locomotion should be priority #1, IMO. Takling is a close 2nd. Related AI is mixed in with those. Then everything else.

All those things are back of the box features on an almost yearly basis. General locomotion was a big selling point for Madden 09, 11 and "true step" last year.
Broadcast presentation and new camera angles have been used multiple times as well including this year.
All new smarter AI better , coverage every year.
Tackling was fixed with protak in 10, rtp in 13, flushed out rtp in 25...
Again. If you completely redo these things, the game loses its madden feel and hardcore gamers get upset. Or you risk breaking something. Plus you can't put it on the back of the box next year. Of course, some will say the developers just aren't that talented. Which may be true, but the cynic in me says it's intentional on some level.
