Instead, it's just a lament—because MUT, fantasy modes, quick, online, arcadey competition isn't what a lot of the the posters of any age on a forum like this want.

As for your questions. Kid came up when I was looking for a Madden 15 vid on youtube. I just kind of feel bad for him, but I think his view provides insight into visions for Madden more prevalent than any of us realize.
On a serious note, I too lament the success of MUT, as it does seem to represent a generational shift in priorities set by sports gamers. I'm not super old (36), but I'm just old enough to feel this move as a departure from my own interests as a sports gamer.

I just hope there's a critical mass within the Madden team that thinks non-monetized game modes like CFM are worth the financial investment of serious development.
