Crossplay would be a great idea. I agree with you with your points about the lag and competition. Granted it's been over a decade since it was last on PC so I'm hopeful more people just need to catch on or make the switch. Maybe EA would consider crossplay in the future. Even FIFA suffers a bit in matchmaking because of the player pool (last I remember).
To be honest with you Rambo, the only way i could see someone making a switch or people trying out madden on PC if it was for free. Most PC gamers are on Steam not orgins and a big factor for people to not purchase a game is if the online community is dead. Ive personally have had games where i wanted to purchase on PC but the community was next to none and it wasn't worth the risk of not finding a game. Also if you're someone who enjoys MUT its a lot harder to do sets and build the team you want due to Having a small community. A small community ensures that cards are going to be overpriced, Extinct and rare. This is a huge issue if you are trying to complete the "Team Diamond" sets because some of the gold cards never hit the auction block. Powering Up cards are more dreadful to do, due to the CPT (Coins per Training) Value being dramatically high. I dont believe Cross-playing has any negatives and wont hurt the PC Community. Just to compare, i play Gears of war 4 on PC, Before it had cross-play it was a nightmare due to never being able to find a match (literally have spent over an hour trying to find a game in the most popular game mode) but when cross-play finally came along the online was playable and thus more people were willing to purchase the game and those who have left it alone came back. For some people who believed PC gamers have an advantage there was an option to disable cross-play which i believe if EA goes down this route they could include it too. I invision if EA doesn't either promote Madden on PC more or include cross-play they wont last past Christmas especially with all the Big titles games coming out in October.
