From the developers point of view, it makes sense what they did this year. Lots of gamers didn't have the easiest time playing Madden in the past, and the features this year help address that and make the game more attractive to all types of gamers like EA NHL is. But they had to sacrifice making more moderate and bigger changes that the hardcore community would be more attracted to. Too me, it feels pretty much like Madden 10.5. Some small improvements from Madden 10, while at the same time some prevailing and new issues. Too me it's baffling that they did lick all to online franchise when the game mode is still incomplete without a salary cap and contracts.
I think it's pretty sad that they still have not found a way to include owner mode in the five year history of next gen Madden games.
