We are hard on them and sometimes were are justified in our anger.
Have you ever had to come in and fix something that someone messed up?
Have you ever worked for a company that held you back with stupid rules because "thats how things are done." Thats what I feel the Madden devs go through at EA but they can't say anything because they work there.
The guy that did the last gen franchise blatantly said that he has to work with what the next gen teams from 06 07 08 did with the franchise mode because he was still working on the old ones, which were in my opinion the best modes they have ever had, and then straight to head coach. So the person that was responsible for a great franchise mode in 05 was not picked for the next gen consoles. Is that his fault? Nope. Now they call in a specialist after
So the devs take a lot of flack because of stuff that the suits and the marketing team made them put in the game, the stuff that the previous team put in the game, or personel decisions made by the suits.
I still think that they are clueless in some gameplay areas especially in the secondary. There is a big difference how a cornerback plays when there is zero coverage, when he has safety help over top, or safety help inside but in madden he plays coverage the same old way. But thats a whole different story. The inner workings of EA will never be just thrown out there and we will NEVER get the whole story of what really goes on only what the
PR people let them say.
