Just mho, but I totally agree with @Simmerorigin, regarding the importance of specifically who is in charge of various aspects of the franchise. And, personally, I don't think that is likely to happen as long as they are part of EA. That kind of leadership with vision isn't something you see a lot of under the EA umbrella, and when you do it is almost always due to an acquisition with the person leaving within a few years of the acquisition occurring.
The reason is simple, EA's formula for financial gain is not something that really lends itself to people who are more visionary than status quo and the corporate culture suffocates the type of person that can deliver it.
