My belief is that they are either going to let it die, or try to incorporate it into Madden, like BBM was incorporated into one of those arcade-like baseball games I never bought. With major realignment and expansion coming up, they've got to make SOME changes if they are going to release it again next year.
The good news is that Jim still owns the code for the original FOF, so were he to pick up where that left off, he could introduce a rival football sim of his own. Given the lack of an up-to-date professional football sim in the market, I really think he could fill a void that EA has left, and he has a head start and a number of rabid fans to buy such a product. Football Mogul was terrible, and given the lack of improvement with BBM over the past 3 years, I doubt a new FBM would be any better than its predecessor.
