Re: Ian Cummings is out

Thats s****y. Liked his vision for the game, even though it could never get there, it was making some strides.

Ah well, best to him and his fam.

after the last four or five years, i don't know how you can still say this. but i do hope you're right because i'm tired of not having an nfl football game to play with friends.

3 points for graphics, 1 point for the passable commentary, and a half point for the boxart. I can give no further points since the all over the place gameplay would ruin it anyway.

Re: Ian Cummings is out

Have we heard when these resignations will take effect?

Re: Ian Cummings is out

Big shocker ... didn't see it coming. Really wonder about the future of 'Madden' in general now

Re: Ian Cummings is out

Shocking, but understandable (Him wanting to go elsewhere to make more money)

This sucks. Whomever comes in better not take another 8 steps back with the excuse of "I'm learning. Give me time".

I'm not liking the future of Madden right now. As someone above posted, the dev team appears to be in disarray. Coupled with the quarterly losses reported,and the overall economy the way it is, there could be a time in the not-too-distant future where Triburon and the Madden team close up shop for good.

Think it can't happen? Well, it happened with Aces Studios, the company behind the successful Flight Simulator series for the PC.

Overreacting? Maybe just a little, but I'm still concerned. Ian looked to be the "captain" of the ship, and was steering it into the right direction. Now he's leaving, and the ship will be without a captain for who knows how long. In the meantime, how will the series be affected? Guess I'll have to wait and see......like I've been doing for the past several years.

Re: Ian Cummings is out

I guess it makes sense that he isnt out PRing with phil and the other guy this week. Kind of sucks because I thought Ian was doing a good job and was truly passionate about the game. Cant blame him though, probably will make more money on his own and probably wont have to listen to the constant backlash of Madden fans

I really don't know, but if Pasta's article is accurate, it seems as though Ian is leaving on his own terms for a better opportunity. Doesn't seem to be the same situation that it was for NBA Live.

It's easy -- not everyone is up in arms about the quality of Madden. Many people do enjoy it .

Re: Ian Cummings is out

Beyond the videogames, as for actual life goes I applaud him. Sometimes no matter how much you love or like your job. sometimes the downside to it makes it not worth it. You have to make a change its hard, but if your willing to accept it. it could make your life better, hopefully that's what Ian shooting for.

Good Luck Ian,

Thanks for everything.
