Who is in charge of Madden may be a big deal , or not if you believe decisions ultimately come from the "suits"
This thread though is more about wild speculation about the reasons for his dismissal , serious and otherwise, half of which come from people who apparently didn't read the quoted article , or didn't understand it properly

I agree too the previous Post. This topic is nothing but speculating as to why he was let go and who will replace him. EA has their agenda and it’s a topic that will prob better suited and revisited come September/ October when someone is actually named.

I don't see a special spotlight if it happens in the gaming world, it happens in other industries, private/public, non-profit/government entities. And this is the first time it's been brought out in the public in the gaming world or maybe there is more that aren't as publicized.

I agree with you Roadman. I think my words got a little misinterpreted. EA handled this correctly. I'm saying if the rumors about what Carlos did are true it does not reflect well on himself as a professional in the gaming world. Especially considering in recent years there have been occasional PR outcries regarding the way women are portrayed in certain games. Obviously not a sports gaming issue, but it adds ammo to that side of the debate.

EA got it right. Let's get a great producer in place to see Madden '20 through to being a successful iteration.

Ah, ok, thanks for clarifying, I think it was the way it was worded and maybe I would have interpreted a bit differently.

Are there rumors flying out there because based on what I've seen, it's all pure speculation and theories.

EA has been radio silent about keeping it in-house as they should.

All we know is that Carlos broke EA's code of conduct, which could be several different situations and nothing specific the public will know about.

With these management changes, i truly believe Madden 19 will be a unfinished product like Rory McIlroy pga tour golf game.* I bet EA is scrambling to have this game complete by release date.

Guerrero did not replace Dickson, Oldenberg did, and he is still in place.

Guerrero's position was not creative, it was resource distribution and personnel management.

It's amazing how many people don't recognize this. Some honestly don't know it, but others choose to be willfully obtuse about it in order to make a certain point.

I just think people fail to educate themselves or do any research of any kind before speaking, in this case typing.
