Its stuck in a permanent limbo until someone with authority that actually knows what they are doing takes a stand and pushes the game in a set direction.

You hit the nail on the head with this paragraph.

Like many others here, I have been playing Madden since the Genesis days...Maybe it's because I'm getting older but it just always seemed like their was a new upgrade every year to the game that got you excited and your palms sweating for it.

That magic is just gone...the game has no concrete direction anymore after we saw a very clear and defined one from 92-2004.
