Justin Dewiel posted an application link somewhere around here, I know there are plenty of us that would love to have you at Tiburon interacting with the ratings "team".

Matter of fact, I tracked down his post from another thread the link and I hope you apply.

Thanks for your vote of confidence. I will apply and see if they get back to me. After I had that phone interview (more like a conference call) with about 5 members of the development team last summer regarding a M13 position, I think I have changed my opinion about those guys a bit. The fact that they flat out told me that most of their ratings are "pressured" by the marketing entities at EA/Tiburon/NFL made me believe that the ratings issues will never be fixed. They really seemed to have their hands tied with pressure from above to do things a particular way. I used to think that these devs had total control over the development of the game but I was disappointed to find that they have very little power. Guess they are the drones...around merely to do the work. I also got the impression that Donny Moore has no clue what he is doing. I spoke with him exclusively for about 5 minutes and picked his brain about where he gets his info. He never mentioned anything about data, just watching games and clips. That was severely disappointing. I got the impression that these devs want to do more with the game for the better, but they simply are not allowed to - their leashes are too short. What I would prefer someday, was that they enlisted FBG to do their ratings for them, should they agree with the methodology. Kind of like "Madden Ratings powered by FBG Ratings". More like a consulting thing. But I will check it out and see what comes of it. Thanks for the link.
