I don't see why they wouldn't launch it on 360/PS3.. They launched all of their basketball titles on PS2/Xbox until NBA Live 09, same thing with 2K, they launched up until 2K11 on old consoles. I wouldn't be worried about it.

people eventually have to buy the new generation console once they stop making video games for the current xbox, ps3 .. but very happy to hear this from EA .. please include NHL and MLB too

i actually think they will push people to buy new consoles in the upcoming year. Making exclusives that cant be ported to consoles

did they not say this transitioning from last gen to current gen?

there is no doubt that the graphics will improve. unfortunately, better graphics don't mean better gameplay, as clearly seen with current gen. so, we'll just have to wait and see.

So what this means is that EA has come up with new engines for NBA, Madden, and FIFA. They said they are already playable in their new engines. This has nothing to do with current gen. I'm sure Madden and FIFA will continue development but you won't get the new technology unless it's already planned on being put in. As for NBA, it's not a bad idea to focus on releasing for the next gen systems. If they screw up, they and people will say, "Well, it was the first game this generation, next year will be better."
