Good luck to you. I don't know what happened to make u leave EA but I see u as a man who tried to make a difference with Madden. Sorry things couldn't prove more fruitful but like I said, good luck to you, and your future endeavors.

Madden 12, will it have the Meat and Potatoes? Meat is gameplay, Potatoes are franchise. Haha J/k, but seriously bring seconds to the table.

I checked out your twitter page. You take a beating everyday. I understand that treatment in my line of work and it takes a toll. Just letting you know that you and your team do a good job.

PS- I hate the Giants, Go Cowboys

I know that it can get pretty antagonistic around here, but I'd like to extend a sincere thank you for your continued support of Madden 11. Post patch, and lastest roster update, this game plays infinitely better -- not just the defense, but I've noticed improvements in the running game. I, myself, haven't always agreed and have been frustrated with some the creative decisions made, but I believe that you are genuine in your aim to create the best football game possible and I wish you well.

Thanks again.

Just wanted to share an idea for franchise progression. Here is the idea, have player ratings increase or decrease every 4 weeks of your franchise depending on how your player has performed throughout the season. If a bench player plays well and increases his overall rating to the point where it is greater than a starter at that position then he should get the start, or if the starter struggles and decreases in rating then the bench player of that position should get a shot at a starting spot. Have the User and CPU reorder depth charts every 4 weeks and this will allow bench players to get a shot at some playing time and who knows you may find the next pro bowler who sat on the bench most of his career. Position battles should also make a come back so preseason will actually mean something. These would be nice additions so you'll actually see bench players play more often and not just because of injuries and see players benched for poor performance.

Ian, I was curious if you could unblock me on Twitter. I apologize for losing my cool, and I'd really like to follow you again. My username is the same as it is on OS (@wtfitsdaveyj) Hopefully you can accept my apology because I truly do regret bashing the game you guys work so hard to make. It wasn't appropriate at all of me to do so. I've grown up a lot in the past year, and I hope to see you on my tweet list soon. Take care Ian, and thank you for giving us a football game.

Ian cummings, why cant you just make the XBOX 360 GAMe play for madden, the same as the ps2 gameplay for madden. Because everybody loves the ps2 gameplay for madden. So everybody could stop complaining about how the new gen madden is not good.

How come the players in madden 10 on the next gen consoles dont have tattoos but the ps2 version does,and the nba live series has them too.It would be nice to see them with some like Kellen Winslow It would make the presentation even greater than what it already is.

Is there any way the Buccaneers fans can get a little more att to detail I.e. pictures and coaches age. over all better madden than last year and remember to base your game off of real football. i dont care for features tomuch but i love football and keep moving toward that realness we all look forward to every year.

Ian,

APF to M10 convert here. I'm a huge fan of what you guys did this year and would like to send a letter of appreciation to your development team. Where can I send this so that it will be read? You guys deserve major props for this accomplishment. I've been watching football lately and saying to myself "I that looks like Pro-Tak, or Jamarcus misses that throw in M10 too."

Hey Ian,

One thing I would really appreciate you looking into is the ability for a person to run routes manually, in both off- and on-line co-op. It works some of the time, but there are instances where when you cut, you lose control of the WR and he runs in a wide circle.

Would you be so kind as to get back to me on this issue?

Thanks!

Hey Ian,

Funny quirk I wanted to share with you. I have no expectations of reproducing this or filming this, it was nuts when it happened.

3rd down and 1, I run the ball up the middle. I'm tackled for no gain, hit the ground, and the ball pops out and the refs rule a fumble. A pile ensues, and the other team comes away with the ball. Now, I'm jamming on X (Xbox360) to rewind the play, and suddenly, a booth review comes in (1:50 left in the 4th quarter), and overrules the fumble. Great, my ball, whatever, I'm rewinding anyways. Suddenly, without going into the huddle, it's 4th down and 1, and only 3 of my linemen are on the LoS, and only 3 of the defense. Then, players start appearing from below, running up to the LoS! Finally, my QB comes into view, but not before a DT runs into him. Encroachment! 5 yard penalty, 1st down.

I never got the chance to rewind to 3rd and 1. Wacky bug, I'll never be able to reproduce it, but the story needed sharing.
