OS Interviews EA Football GM Cam Weber

Yeah I liked everything he's saying, but most people at EA know how to speak to the media to make it sound good. I'll be interested to see what next year's games will be like(seems to be always the next year with EA).

That was a good interview. Got me pumped up.. I still think online games won't change too much as long as were forced to play on all-pro. They may cut out the glitches but the AI is still going to take a hit if its on all-pro. Its nothing sim about all-pro. Never has been..

Normally these interviews sound media driven. I can honestly say that I didn't get the impression of that. he knew who he was talking to and the expectation and other than unrealised info about the games. I feel like he was truthful and upfront with all the info and ongoings. Honestly this is what we want this type of person. I remember reading on here someone saying that we need to get the guy in charge of FIFA or people from there to get NCAA and Madden to where FIFA is . Well we got it . Now we OS must be patient and wait , not jump to conclusions or make silly threads when we don't know what's going to happen.

I read a lot of the other interviews with this guy, but OS seemed to get the most out of him. I like how he finally elaborated on what he meant by the "doubling" of the development team, which he was really referring to the core team that may have been quite small.

After this interview, I'm more confident in the direction that Madden will go in the future with Cam Weber at the helm.

I like that he outlined His plan as the Leader.
Both sides have always lacked in laying out the Vision/Plan for each series.

The only thing I would say is I wish He would really just lay out were the games are right now in light of HIs Vision.
Enough with the hush-hush, marketing strategies etc...etc... etc...
He rolled out The New Vision, now be honest and let the gamers know what they will be getiing in July.

The worst thing to do (as done since being on Next-Gen) is Market and build expectations that we're getting something New and Innovative then find out that very little was changed.

I think part of the skeptism as noted above has to do with how the same Marketing Strategy is being used although there is a New Leader who seems to have the Plan the community has been craving for.

In a nutshell, the worst thing that could happen after saying all the things the community wanted to hear, is come July and August, the games released differ little from last years versions.
Especially as far as "Gameplay".

Can't wait to rent and see what the Truth is come July!!!

I like what he said though.

Look...all i know is, if this guy can get get Madden and NCAA to move, look, and be as fluid as FIFA, I will buy both games every year without question. We will have to wait and see.

Khalib,

I think you need to be a bit more realistic. We won't know this person's impact until next year at least with only being there for 6 weeks.
