    Re: Madden Creative Director, Ian Cummings is Leaving Tiburon

    Has their been any clarifications as to why Ian and company are leaving? I know they have to be following this thread-so I would hope they would interject some logic as to whats going on or the direction they are going in???

      Thanx. I don't think we'll ever get the true madden story, and honestly call me negative, but I don't think EA will ever provide a football game I find impressive. Ncaa 11 and Madden 10 were improvements, and were certainly the most solid efforts this gen, but neither impressed me.

            I never get thus logic. If 60 bucks is a big expenditure for you and the game doesn't meet your standards year after year why is it EA's fault you keep giving them your money?

            Everyone on the Internet says this. I doubt it's true in most of not all cases.

              I like it too. I brought it instead of Madden this year, it still doesn't impress me as a football game or a sports game this year though.

If you want to get hung up on words, enjoy yourself.
                  I definitely noticed a difference in performance in the trenches based on ratings.

                  As far as the videos. I don't put a lot of stock in setting up tests to make the game do what it was never intended to do.

                  I thought the game this year was mediocre and I'd love to get 2k back but I am not going to go out of my way to to do all this stupid YouTube crap like or whatever his name was. Nothing better about seeing a guy who can't even spell the word physics complain about physics in a video game like Apexis or ryanmoody.

                    Not to mention if your at least the least bit consumer savvy, you should be able to find the most sports games now days for cheaper than $60. Heck Last year I got both NCAA & Madden for $49 straight from EA. I got NBA 2K11 for $40 less than a week after it was released. I ordered The Show 11 for $50 one day after release and a ton of people ordered it for $36 one day later.

                    Finding deals really isn't that hard at all. That, the reason you mentioned and the fact that people can rent first (or play the demo) so they can make their own educated buying decision but, choose not too--Are the reasons why I have zero sympathy for the guys who come on here and bitch and moan about wasting their precious $60.

In this economy, trading financial stability at EA to be one of the top people in a start up company doesn't seem worth the risk to me. What about you ? I could see if he was accepting a better position at another company that was also established, like Mike Wang, but he isn't.
                      this is the second day in a row you've said ridiculous stuff lime this. Do you work in the corporate world? This risk is worth it for some people. People give up high paying 6 figure jobs to go to startups where you've got the potential to literally make millions of dollars if things break your way. Hell I've done exactly that. it's lie your really digging to try to find some issue with Ian and I don't understand why. These kinds of moves happen every day in the corporate world. Particularly in the technology sector.

                        You might want to make a complete sentences before you discuss someone else's grammar. Just looking out for you. :-)

                          Sage your my man and all but I'll be honest I had a blast with NCAA this year. Madden was a meh experience but NCAA held my attention like no dad game since NCAA '04

                              Understandable then.
