Well, apparently EA made the right decision because absolutely no Wii U fan appears to want a sports game because apparently everyone of them exercises regularly outside and that makes a football game lame. . .For the few of us that realize that there will now be no official NFL game on the Wii U (and realize that's a pretty big group of players that WONT be buying a Wii U) it kind of sucks. I'm not a madden fan, but EA sports games are like Mcdonalds. Every town has them. While Nintendo will survive without third party games (for now) it doesn't bode well to expanding their player base.
 
Honestly the attitude of some Wii U fans bothers me more than anything else. If a game is coming to the Wii U, "ITS THE DEFINITIVE VERSION!!!! IM TOTALLY GETTING IT!!!" vs if it's not "meh. . .i hate that game anyways". According to most of us the Wii U miraculously doesn't get sucky games and only gets definitive versions. Pretty amazing right? When will we realize that any game coming means more players, better gaming experience, more money for Nintendo = GOOD

I'd care more about fifa, but still I'd probably never buy even that.
Maybe it's just because I'm 74 now and see the value of things differently.
Were I in my 30's I might still be interested.

I could care less about some dumb football game that is nothing but roster updates with a new number on the cover...

 

 

...But this better not mean they arent giving me my dumb hockey game that is nothing but roster updates and a new number on the cover :P

 

I'd give the Wii U getting Halo 5 better odds.

You definitely get the severity of this.  News like this certainly hurts Nintendo's chances of getting buyers on board that will only buy one console.  I like Nintendo exclusives best but there are also other multiplats like FIFA, GTA, and Assassins Creed that I also love.  If I could only afford one console I would have a serious dilemma.


Currently playing: AC 3, ZombiU, BLOPS 2, Nintendoland, NSMBU, Nano Assault Neo, Halo 4, Darksiders 2, and Far Cry 3

I'm impressed! I don't think my eyes will be able to play games in my 40's let alone 70's. Good on ya. I'll be happy if I'm still around at 74. And yep, I'm also more of a fifa fan.

Every post in this thread basically shows why they aren't bringing it.

"I don't care about football, I only care about other sports."

"Sports games are stupid go outside and play real sports."
This sucks for me because I might have bought it (since it's the only licensed football game.) But, oh well, I'll play on my friend's consoles. The same thing will probably happen with Fifa, NCAA, and NHL. But hey we will get NBA and PES.

Lol!

Can't decide whether I want to pick this up on 360 or skip a year or more. But if I had the cash, I would buy it on Wii U.

I got the Wii U version of 13, but that was the first one I've bought since Madden 2008.  They have been completely unimpressive since 2005, and I gave it a couple too many years for EA to get their act together, and got burned with crappy football games.  Since then I've played BackBreaker for PS3, as well as 2K legends, but no Madden, fantasy football is more entertaining than Madden at this point.
