I think the official word was in rebuilding a game from scratch there were certain elements that would have to be built from scratch as opposed to porting like 2k does with a number of their titles (ala NBA2k6).

With over 10 years of Madden legacy code and the game plan being to rebuild every element of the game there were bound to be features that would not make the initial cut. The easy thing to do would have been to just port over everything but to some extent EA is dammed if they do and dammed if they don't because one way or the other someone would complain. I personally like the fac that they plan to rebuild everything and not port old features to next gen games
