More PS4s sold than xbox 1s alone says that. Many will not go buy another console for 1 game, its just not going to happen. I cant see them being dumb enough to limit it like that personally, if so , i think it will end up exactly where that game you mentioned did ( Black College Football) ... in the well forgotten bin in no time.

Exclusivity has the potential benefits of reduced production costs (no porting, etc) and perhaps some benefits from the platform holder. All indications remain that this is a pretty small team, so those could be pretty enticing benefits.

The Windows 10/Xbox One push is making it easier to not only make games for both, but for them to play together also. For small productions that's got to be attractive. Tools like Unreal though are relatively platform agnostic and could help defray the development cost of multi-platform development. That's about as far as I speculate though, someone like CM Hooe could probably better elaborate.

There are costs involved though, both licensing and development not just benefits of being available to more people. The Xbox One / PS4 sales gap in the primary market isn't all that massive either.

As for purchasing decisions, depth of features and an attractive/unobtrusive gimmick will what decide for me. Platform or it not being Madden isn't enough, those elements will determine if it's a day one console purchase or a sub $10 pickup during the Steam spring sale.

People already picking it apart off 1 screen shot?

Better than 1200+ posts picking apart a bunch of cryptic tweets...

Edit: oh, 1200 was really undershooting. More like 1800 when you add in the first thread (this is now the third)

Doesn't EA own the Blitz IP now? I'm pretty sure the most recent NFL Blitz game was an EA Sports game.

I am not saying I think it is licenced, all I'm saying is don't forget right away that this could just be custom teams. Thoughts?

That looks like it could be an Xbox banner. The problem is MS hasn't used that logo since the original Xbox and it looks nothing like the Xbox one logos

The screenshot, to me, doesn't look that good.

Looks like an indy game you'd pay $5 for.

This looks exactly like Back Breaker to me (player models). Not necessarily a bad thing, but not what I expected either

LOL, nice joke, I needed that.

But seriously, this looks like Madden 15 on PS4 to me, surprised many people haven't made that comparison.

And for a first game, that's pretty damn good.
