You are asking them to alter the direction of the franchise when it is selling phenomenally well. It doesn't matter if you think they deserve the sales. EA is in business to make money, not make sure a bunch of old farts on a sports forum can have the simulation game of their dreams.
I take the larger point, but I love that a game that cares more about its franchise mode, its customization, and its realism is beating Madden in sports-games sales.

I'd hope there's enough pride on the development team to want to go outperform NBA 2K by producing a similarly robust title. I don't think that's likely, but one can hope.
