I love you, you know.
Not going to have the production value of Madden and therefore no one gonna buy it.
They don't care bro.
It's "fukk all that noise idc I need my madden." Every single year. I got a friend who literally buys the new Madden every year like it's a Tradition and he never even beats it. Like no seasons or franchises. He's trash at it he literally just wants to use his favorite players on the field and see cool stuff. 70 dollars a year for a roster update and new tackle animations. Dude doesn't even play ultimate team.
EA has the average consumer in a headlock vice grip and that's the way its going to be forever.
It's free to play
This nikka DIED! shyt!
We gotta make it the new
Thats messed up, they put the Tua concussion animation in the game
Thank you. I will be downloading
In a different timeline, Konami or Sony would have made their football game F2P, thus giving football heads better options than the games that are either retro, modded relics, or doomed to fail.

IIRC the only reason why EA stopped making NBA Live games is they wanted to make it free 2 play like how Konami did to the Pro Evolution Soccer/eFootball series, but the NBA said no and told them, get your ass back on the court and compete. And as we seen so far, EA took their ball and left.
But have zero problems competing with 2K when it comes to PGA Tour

You're almost right but it was actually 2k that woke up the beast of EAIIRC the only reason why EA stopped making NBA Live games is they wanted to make it free 2 play like how Konami did to the Pro Evolution Soccer/eFootball series, but the NBA said no and told them, get your ass back on the court and compete.

2k was on Dreamcast and EA sports said they weren't putting shyt on Dreamcast. So 2k basketball comes out and gives Live heavy comp... 2k Football comes out and gives Madden heavy comp... But couldn't take it over...
So 2k gets the bright idea, we are going to drop our games down to $20, brand new, and undercut EA's games... EA was so pissed at this move they first dropped Madden to $30 to match them and lost out on BIG money... And then when that didn't work, they got the exclusive license for NFL, NCAA and the damn AFL
If 2k never tries to undercut them with that price drop, EA would have been happy to let them continue being second fiddle.
That's football.. Basketball they simply got their asses kicked by great gaming and never recovered. At once point 2k was getting 9/10 ratings while Live was getting 6/10 and lower.. Live was pure trash once 2k showed up
The problem was, 2k sued EA for antitrust for getting the NFL, NCAA and AFL licenses so they couldn't start collecting the NBA too or face another case.. That case started in 2008 and didn't get settled until 2014
