If Madden isnt announced/displayed for PS4, then im going to assume that the exclusive aspect is true.

Gamefaqs would be the last place I would look for gaming news.

Its not exclusive. It will be out on PS4. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/...-coming-to-ps4

I sent over the list of follow up questions to him a little while ago. I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from him.

This is the MOST improvement in one year on the 360/PS3 and you call it minimal lol. Unbelievable, I'm looking forward to how everyone will be talking about Madden 25 current gen once they see the gameplay videos next week. Most people definitely won't be talking about how they shifted focus to next gen after that.

I think most people look at upgrades as new features not just improvements on current problems or things that were added back. For example, I cant remember for the life of me, but a Madden a few years ago said they added like over 50 features. Which was a huge stretch in my mind to what is a new feature. Plus you need to see how well some of this new stuff even work.

It would be like saying we added a post game show (new feature) vs. We fixed the commentary this year (upgrade/solving a problem)

I know they said they added new commentary that incorporates the season, but I have to see it working first.

Skeptism comes from being let down in the past. I know this is a new group, but we have had other new groupd who were supposed to lead us to the so called promised land of great football.

Thanks.

Did you include the CPU AI and gameplay questions? They didn't really come up in the podcast.

Thanks again.

Some sort of league history screen that has even something as simple as every SB winner (and score), the game MVP, and highlights it in yellow if it was a human player would be cool.

Something like:

Super Bowl Score MVP Player
SB L Bills 51 Cowboys 3 EJ Manuel MarkTwain77
SB LI Seahawks 21, Chiefs 10 Russell Wilson CPU

Something along those lines. When the human player is not involved in the Super Bowl in Madden 13, it can be hard to keep track of who won. Didn't Madden have something like this once?

"SB L Bills 51 Cowboys 3"

Still a bit bitter over those Super Bowl losses?

One thing people keep forgetting is the devs are working with limited space on current gen, that affects everything they are trying to do, gameplay, presentation, Ai, menus, everything. That's why I highly disagree with those who say they are giving us minimal improvements. They are giving us as much as they can with what they have to work with.

Does anyone have an idea what Mike might have meant by new tickers? He said they have new tickers and stat banners. I'm hoping it's some kind of in game ticker for CFM, but that would be unlikely. What do you guys think he meant?
