the masses will never be satisfied.

they should take a break? there are games that have 3-5 year development cycles. do those guys take a break? no. it's just like any other job. you don't just quit for a couple months because you completed one task. you come back the next day to complete another task. such is life.

With me coming on to the team last year right before 09 actually hit shelves and hitting the ground running, we saw a lot of benefits of just doing work right away (before the game is even out). In previous years we typically would have a pretty big crash period where people take a lot of vacation time and not much gets done, so nowadays we are way more efficient and get going right away. I would expect similar detail to last year though - we likely won't release any information re: 11 until around the Super Bowl. Key reasons - 1) don't want to hurt Madden 10's sales & buzz, and 2) it's rare that something is locked-in and guaranteed to be in the game until later in the cycle. We still have plenty of time with 10 on our hands - and I'll obviously keep you guys in the loop whenever I can.

i hope you don't forget in-game saves this time.
