To be honest, this article gets re-written every year. Just be a different writer, different media outlet. I remember one year ESPN wrote the article and another year IGN wrote it.

I like the fact that they still are getting real football situations and feedback from the Legend, John Madden. They seem to be heading in the right direction and with Madden being retired now, it sounds like they can get even more feedback from him.
Nice read! |
Re: Madden Article (Courtest of Grantland)
Key points to the article for those who don't have time to read the whole thing.
1. Roy Harvey is the executive producer of Madden 2. Anthony White says there is nothing they can't do or put in the game. HOWEVER memory is the bottleneck and what is holding stuff back, since everything takes up memory. Basically it is a console problem this generation. He is the person who is in charge of the playbooks in Madden and NCAA, and responsible for AI movement on the field. So therefore I wish I had his email address, for I can email him the dozens of problems with the AI movement when they execute plays. 3. Mike Young is one of the creative directors of Madden now. 4. Donnie Moore is the ratings czar, of course. So yeah we can all blame him for the exaggerated ratings of Madden players. 330 pound offensive linemen with 80 speed ? Really Donnie ? Really ? 5. Anthony Stevenson is the director of marketing for Madden. 6. EA Sports was more scared of NFL Game Day series then the NFL 2K series. |
