Madden Wii screens. Let the whining commence.

You have polled all the millions of buyers to know that? I really, really doubt it. This is why Nintendo stopped listening to the most vocal fans. They got it in their heads they can speak for every fan who shares their interests. That frankly is just stupid.

And even then, the context of my comment was about potential Madden players.

Finally, I gave you an assurance that the art style would revert if sales fall (if), and you didn't even seem to notice it.

EDIT: That is unless you thought I meant players being turned off an not buying it, in which case, just skip to the part about potential players.

 

I'm saying I know far more about sports video games than you.  I enjoy them; you don't.  You can't treat simulations like traditional video games.  A simulation game's objectives are entirely different than any other game.  I don't know if you like Gran Turismo or not, but it's the same thing.  You go for trying to create something as close to reality in every respect.  I'm not opposed to more stylized graphics, but they don't fit with a series that strives to be the best football simulator out there.  EA could have gone with NFL Street if they wanted a more arcadey game, and that would have fit better.  This is just a slap in the face to all fans of Madden who enjoy playing the best football simulation out there.

We're getting off topic.  My point was that stylized graphics points to a departure from a focus on simulation, and I think I've proven that.
