I mean you may have some idea of understanding they are more focused toward MUT and things like that, but we don't yet know what the next gen will bring when it comes to their direction. For all you know, you may end up liking it as you do '07 and '12. It would be one thing if they stayed on the same console generation and you made this statement, but until we see next-gen Madden and you're possibly willing to buy their titles post-exclusivity, I don't know how you can say for sure that you won't buy one of their titles down the road.

You never say never...but I'm not willing to pay $65-100 for what Madden has become. It would take Madden emphasizing Franchise mode in the way that they used to in order for me to shell out that cash because that's what's important to me. They may very well do that as anything can happen but I have zero confidence that they will. I hope I'm wrong.
