Another game on Kickstarter that looks promising is Blackspace.
They worked for EA sports and have shipped tons of AAA games and they can't even list one of them? Right. Pass.
Working together for the past 7 years, Jerry Phaneuf and Volga Aksoy have contributed to award-winning AAA games, including EA Sports MMA, Madden NFL Franchises, NASCAR Franchises, Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchises, and more. With their combined holistic knowledge and high-level experience, they bring the best in art and design, software engineering, and project management.

Since when are EA sports games triple A titles? And they don't mention what capacity. In short, they're being very intentionally vague which is never a good sign. Hell, I worked for EA on EA sports games.
NHL Madden and Fifa are certainly AAA titles from visuals to online features and amount of play modes. NHL in particular has improved yearly this gen since the 07 edition, NHL 13 not only has a brand new skating engine and AI logic, but a new Online GM mode as well.
Now granted I realize not only does everyone love to bash EA because they're EA and alot of it is justified, I've done my share as well. And obviously BN is primarily made up of PC elitists rather than gamers who don't give a shit about platform but at the least give credit where it's due.
