So guys, what about that story about EA being contractually obligated to release Madden and/or Fifa for every platform?

It was already agreed upon that if a version of Madden doesn't meet a certain (unknown) sales threshold, EA is free to cease support for the platform in question. They had already paved the way on the 3DS with their craptastic launch Madden (released in spring, poor quality all around, no multiplayer), so they didn't have to make a follow-up. It isn't much different with the Wii U version that was made in six months (a game EA knew they had to make had to be rushed). It certainly feels a lot like EA didn't want this Madden to sell much, considering its gimped state.


Well, that just explained the crappy versions...
