This is a computer programming question. I assume you guys are still use waterfall development with this game and you bug fix around the end more so. At least that seemed like the case until this year, now you guys seem more agile (iterative development). Is it possible to get a comment if you guys at EA are trying to do this kind of development process.

I hope you guys switch to agile because it seems to eliminate those crappy features no one cares about due to them being irrelevant and you code to what the business deem necessary at the time.

I hope to be buying madden this year (currently my lady has my 360 and I have to buy her a dvd player to get it back... ITS WALMART TIME)
