They'll be inundated with requests from the hard core players to go all the way, but I'm not hopefully that they will feel comfortable enough to do so. In a tertiary title like NHL, they'll take the risk, but not with Madden, IMO. If the feedback this year is positive from more than just our crowd, then maybe I could see them expanding it next year, we'll see.

I agree that there seems to be a fear of alienation when it comes to the more sim features. That's why I'm a fan of making them toggles, the half measure step they have now really doesn't change much, if you cant see someone's dev trait you still know you got a guy you will want to invest playtime into.
