Understood

Makes sense to me. Surely you were receiving plenty of crummy ideas and questions. Just swing by the forums every so often and check out the best posts.

I don't think I've received 20 PMs in the 5 years I've been here.

Keep up the good work, Ian!

Cool. Just accept my friendship request...

You've done more than enough already - finish this bad boy up!

Thanks again.

Im sure we all understand.

Just dont walk into those threads that say you never answer questions, your hiding features from us, etc when its only April

Hope Madden turns out great! Like green94 stated, "finish this bad boy up!"

Recieved and understood.

Sooooo lazy...



Totally understandable Ian. Looking forward to the next update.

Understandable, keep up the good work.

Totally understandable Ian

Cool thanks for hanging on as long as you did.

Understandable, you are a very busy man. I'm pulling for you and the rest of the crew to make Madden 10 the game we have always wanted. Best of luck and thanks for the blogs and updates.

Your number one priority is to finish the game. Forget about private messages right now, but still continue to interact on the forums.

hey ian. is there a way to privately contact you? i have a question i need to ask. thanks

I saw that you had dropped off the boards due to some undesirable reactions to video clips, but I've been following the E3 news and I'm really impressed by a number of things that have changed in this year's Madden.

I'm an APF junkie, and I can honestly say that this game has gotten compelling again for me. The E3 returns have guaranteed a purchase from me, and your team deserves kudos for getting this thing moving back to core football.

Some things I'm really appreciative of include:
--the love shown to franchise by the addition of Looman
--the changes to QB accuracy, which are fantastic and clearly visible from the E3 vids
--the momentum tuning
--the implementation of pro-tak, which makes plays feel "alive" and fresh
--the improvements to DB AI, as I saw several instances of good man coverage negating a play.

Most of all, though, I was impressed by your interview with Allgames, or whomever that was. You can tell a PR guy a mile away, but I could tell that your spiel on returning to core football was sincere and legit, not another thing on the list of EA "features." That alone is winning my money.

Keep up the good work, and thanks for the effort with the OS community, which I know can be rewarding at times and frustrating at others.

Best,

Jason
