Until they stop trying to implement things for the sim crowd, then we have the right to complain. They actively say they want to appeal to the casual crowd and the sim crowd. By doing that, we in the sim crowd have every right to criticize it all. If EA came out and said they want to make Madden for the casual crowd only and that they don't aim to bring an authentic and simulation-style of NFL football to your TV then we would no longer really have the right to criticize the way we are because they would have stated what their vision was and it would be illogical to still criticize the game for not being something it doesn't want to be. This is not like a situation like you see with Escape from Tarkov which has clearly stated it is a hardcore tactical shooter than aims to recreate realistic mechanics over fun mechanics. That game has a clearly stated vision of what it wants to be. When people come to the forums of that game and complain about the realism and hardcore mechanics they are being illogical because the game's vision clearly states what is going for. That is not what is happening here with Madden and EA.They still claim to be aiming for an authentic experience that brings simulation-style gameplay so we still have the right to criticize how they are not achieving that in areas.

I get what you are trying to say, I really do, but people have been criticizing for the past 13 years, and yet, here we are today.

This is the latest from the blog with CD Mike Young: The thought of an RPG irritated a lot of people back in Madden 13, but, does it still now?

Mike Young: “Franchise has come back to being a big focus on the game and it will continue to be,” Young says. “We just want to add this rich depth and immersion to it so we're starting to think about it more like a sports RPG.”

I see focus, depth, immersion and sports RPG. I'd like to find out more about boss battles vs one example, I'd like to find out if morale affects FA and or Franchise Tag, Trading Block, etc...... We have very limited information to go off of.

My point is that there is more information to dig into vs one example in a blog. My other point still holds, history is a good predictor of the future. I haven't seen or heard a developer lately state NFL authentic football is coming your way. Clint is radio silent till May23rd gameplay reveal.

Again, based on Rex's last interview last month and knowledge of the Ian years that marketing and suits drive the game, I just don't see anyone inside or outside of EA changing the way the game is made until proven otherwise.
