Well it ain't like hes going anywhere anyway wheather madden 10 turned out to be trash are not. But I believe madden is going to be great and Ian and his crew deserves a lot of praise for the job they have done in a one time.

Ian Cummings isn't going anywhere! He's been with Madden for over 5 or 6 years. Ever since Peter Moore took over for EA Sports, there have been more developer/community interaction which has led to a overall good Madden 09 and possibly a great Madden 10!

Easiest answer ever, Since Ian became lead designer of Madden, it has been nothing but uphill in terms of improvements and its overall direction. Even everyone who is playing the wait and see card must admit that this is the single biggest turn around we have ever seen in a madden period. The communication has been excellent, and the correction on the fly because of the community has been great.

Dont forget that this is only Ian's st year at Lead Designer. Man if all this is happening in just year 1, I can only imagine how great Madden will be by year 3 (2012).

I dont care if you hate/love madden, you would have to be really hating hard not to see how much time/dedication they are putting forth this year.

Although we haven't played '10' yet...but I'm very confident Ian Cummings at least "gets it", of what the dedicated Madden gamers want...realism.

So I'd hate to see a change in the leadership of the dev team after just one year. I haven't personally seen Ian walk on water yet...but I do believe he really cares how M10 turns out, besides just the sales figures.

I totally agree with you bro. Ian and his crew have step up to the plate and interacted with us. This shows they are really paying attention the fans and not going out putting any old feature on it. Thanks again Ian.
