    EA Employee Gets Paid to Watch Football (Gamepro)

    Check out the article at Gamepro.

    "There are dream jobs, and then there are Dream Jobs. Anthony White has the latter.

    Every week during football season, this EA assistant designer receives a little black box at his desk at EA's Tiburon Studios. Inside the box is a portable hard drive with videos of that week's NFL games.

    White then fires up that little black box and proceeds to get paid for watching every single one so he can ensure EA's Madden NFL Football titles are as accurate and up-to-date as possible.

    "Sometimes I have to pinch myself," White said, to which we say, "no kidding!"

        So if this guy watches every NFL game, why are so many uniforms missing from the game?

          Obviously Anthony White wasn't doing his damn job because if he did, then the game wouldn't play like a broke Tecmo Bowl game.

              I would have felt better if there was a article stating that EA employees didn't watch football at all. At least Madden 09 would be justified...

                Maybe some real game film would be in order as opposed to the highlight packages hes clearly watching.

                      It's good to see EA giving jobs to those with handicaps - in this case, a guy being blind.

                      Sorry, couldn't resist.

                            lol...I know right.

                            This means EA has to pull through that much more for 2010.

                            Also, every EA employee involved with Madden should be watching football every Sunday.

                              Maybe they just forgot to tell him what he sees is suppose to be "in the game".
