This saddens me. Not that I was ever going to get the game on any platform, but because of what it implies about the Wii U.
@The Goddamn - That EA rushes a product and leaves features out to make sure they meet a product launch.
Same thing happened for Madden Football on 3DS at launch. Barebone features and no online play.
The playcalling for the Wii U version is cool, but not getting the physics engine on a system totally capable of having it is lazy - I smell a farmed out port.

They should make a minigame where you tackle indie developers for being indie and likable. Destructoid commenters would buy so many copies it would sell triple platinum! *o*
Developers have so far been tight-lipped regarding the capabilities of the U, but those speaking under conditions of anonymity claim the U's CPU power is composed of a pair of Ricoh SNES-class CPUs, with a SuperFX 4 chip built into the console itself.
This would explain why they aren't including physics.

This is pathetic. The Wii U is already mirroring the Wii. The Wii ports were stripped down. Madden 13 is stripped down.
Nintendo should really just stop trying to innovate or whatever, and just make a regular damn console without any stupid gimmicks.

Breaking news: EA releases a multi-platform game that is blatantly inferior on Wii U. Game doesn't sell. EA acts shocked. Nintendo doomsayers come out of the woodwork.
Who remembers Madden when it FIRST came out on PS3, 360? It was a half ass turd.
This is the same shit - EA half assing their work and cashing in on new console owners. Why do people support this crap company?

eA trying to discriminate the market by holding back features instead of really pushing things forward and giving the Wii U the definitive version it deserves. Guess, they'll implement the physics next year then, and once the Wii U version finally catches up with PS3 and 360(the year after next) there'll be new Microsoft and Sony consoles that'll allow them to pull off the same trick once more, so you'll never get a NFL game with all features. Ever.
Launch titles never do a system justice, which is why I am surprised so many people buy brand new consoles. Wait for a price drop and the system's library to build a repertoire of actually good games, and by then, the launch titles are bound to be dirt cheap (like they should). This lazy shit just shouldn't fly, but since it has a Nintendo logo on it, I'm sure it'll sell more than well.

I dont know why people are bashing nintendo, when EA is clearly the lazy one.

So did they confirm that it wouldn't have the new physics or are we just assuming it won't since they didn't mention it during their presentation yesterday?
Next gen system, brand new everything. New madden.
Physics? What's that? Oh, that's been around since ps2 and xbox? Oh even since before that, interesting.
Wii U - physics = Next gen?? What?

God you people are fucking dumb. Why are you blaming the Wii U? Its obviously EA being EA and trying to work as fast as possible to cash in on the new system launch.
So, has anyone confirmed this? I haven't seen a quote from EA addressing this, only an article from a rivals website which made note that the new engine wasn't mentioned during there presentation. A statement or a source would be nice.
So the Wii U is continuing the track record set since the Gamecube, where the Nintendo system gets the feature-cut port.
Will the first Wii U WWE wrestling game still be based on the PS2 version, the way the Wii games were?

There's still something off about those specs tho.
If the wiiu is using power7 I can't see them using a tri-core CPU as power7 is only made with 2-4-6 cores according to the wiki article and a modified CPU would only cost more.
Or Maybe it's 1 core for the OS and the other 3 devoted to processing games?

@Silent:
"That EA rushes a product and leaves features out to make sure they meet a product launch. "
Rushes what though? Even if they are going to announce the Wii U is going to make the 4th quarter of the year, like they say its supposed to, but haven't nailed a date, Madden 13 will already be out for a at least a few months when the U does launch and could have probably just been ported to the Wii U as is to make that launch.
Leaving out probably the biggest feature of the game, on a system striving to show it can be a big boy like everyone else, is a very sloppy move. Period.
Also, I'm not entirely sure how you can equate it to Madden Football for the 3DS when we all know the 3DS can't handle a lot of power we all thought it should -or at least not how developers are developing their games for it.

The difference between Wii and Wii U when it comes to shoddy ports is that Wii couldn't handle the things the other consoles were doing and HAD to take a different approach while with Wii U, EA is just too lazy to care. Go f*ck yourself EA
Well considering the abyssmal track record EA has, the fact that steven doesn't provide us a source and more importantly the completely minor changes that madden has made throughout its iterations, this will probably not mean much in terms of difference.... The game will still sell and pander to the completely complacent fanbase of the sport. the Physics model, which Im sure is the same one coded into the Fifa series is a laughable, cartoonish effort to have 'realistic' fluidity and contact interactions. I rahter they focus on having s system specific experience such as the tough screen additions than some engine they haven't perfected yet and will get right by Madden 17 or so...
@Jinx
I think this just doesn't bode well for EA giving a shit about actually releasing a product equally on all platforms. Even from what we've already seen of the Wii U, it's more than capable of outputting far better graphics than the other consoles.

Madden 06, FIFA 06, NBA 06, etc... on 360 were an inferior products.
Xbox and Ps2 version had more gameplay options, more teams, more ANYTHING.
So this one isn't something to worry about... maybe Nintendo is still "timid" about final development kits or hardware, forcing EA to play safe.

i hope they can finish the product before nintendo comes up with a release date????
i just hope i can tap on the centers asshole on the gampad screen to make him hike the ball.

Yes the fault clearly lies with EA and not with Nintendo for releasing another gimmicky and underpowered console.
Clearly.
Clearly.
It's kinda hard to blame Nintendo when it's been declared by multiple developers that it's at least as strong as (if not stronger than) PS360. Chalk this one up to pure laziness.
