I do not believe a company as large and diverse as EA is looking for a "yes man." I would believe they want someone with vision. I too witnessed the interviews where Rex allowed his "tell" to show in regards to his inner conflict with the company or decisions in general. Showing conflict to the public is not good. It is not a good means to forcing compromise or to get one's way. It's is bad business etiquette. Be careful with words and expressions when in public.

^^^ With that, I am in no way saying Rex actually, or purposely used public arenas as a means to push agenda or sway others within the company. I do believe Rex wears his passion on his sleeve though. And it can be very difficult to hold such passion inside. I think as the process of creating Madden every year wore on, he burned out.

Burnout is completely understandable. And Colorado is one of the best places a person can go to live and get back to finding themselves and their family life.
