Since we know marketing is somewhat involved, did he leave because they want be more involved?



Maybe the suits now want to approve rating changes or at least dictate what they should be based on popularity.



Way too easy to speculate on what this means because there isn't in any info on why he left. I'll wait and see...

Ratings being dictated by a player's popularity, rather than his actual skill set, is something that really diminishes immersion from the game. That is something that was somewhat acceptable back in 2001, but now in 2015 we should see a ratings system based on REAL DATA from NFL teams and scouting reports- AKA an FBG ratings-esque system. In 2015 ratings should be the smallest problem when it comes to madden, but unfortunately it continues to be one of the game's major flaws and has and possibly always will hold the game back gameplay wise
