I think these are valid gripes. When I see new details I get more enjoyment out of the title—especially with how good so many aspects of Madden look on PS4. I brought it up before, I don't think I'm alone as the NCAA 07-14 and Madden 25 PS4 photo threads are massive on these boards.
Maybe it is a testament to the trend of instant gratification where the general Madden gamer is looking for a more narrow experience focusing solely on playing the game, and so the devs really have a mandate to narrow their focus similarly.
For me, I love to pause and watch plays over and over, close up, different angles, admire the uniform details, the field, the stadium, the lighting.
A lot of our complaints also aren't about adding new stuff, it's just making sure visual stuff that was in the game doesn't disappear.
