It's already bad enough when everything in the environment looks that way, so I don't see why you can't include the crowd and environment. I can't confirm that for sure that the players lost them, but the textures definitely don't look good at all and I'm not assuming there.
I just don't see how this will benefit sales in any way, because most who play Madden are more likely to laugh at the game before even giving the gameplay a fair chance. Most who play Madden regularly would probably rather have EA push the Wii to its hardware limits while increasing A.I. and creating more realistic character movements and actions. Would people notice the graphical differences between HD systems? Yeah, but they would expect the Wii version to be a bit of a step down in those departments and would be fine with it like with 07 and 08. But this change makes this difference so much worse and so much more noticeable.
EA doesn't hate the Wii. I'm just not sure they know what "family friendly" really means.
