Not saying its legitimate. What's being reported. Like I said, I find it curious that no one else has picked up this story.

Madden has definately made good strides and not for nuttin is a far cry from the first 2nd gen debacle. That being said im not in no way gonna give sympathy for people ragging him niether. That comes with the territory of all jobs dealing with the public and their opinion. He seemed a nice a enough guy and honestly seemed like he believed in making madden better but he didnt lose his job he got a better one which I congradulate him on. I guess the rest is just left to hope things stay the course and dont all fall apart for madden

Game Informer is reporting about Pasta Padre's story now. Howeve he is their only source so who knows.

I just think that the guys who are trying to give us gamers the products that we want are fed up being blockaded by the profit obsessed top dogs at Electronic Arts. Mike Wang made a quick return to 2K after a single year at EA where he quickly realised EA's vision of a basketball game was one where expenses were kept at an absolute minimum & EA were not willing to take the game where he believed he needed it to go.

EA have been in this game long enough whereby they should know that quality breeds reputation which in turn breeds good sales. EA are too focused on selling cheaply produced games for a quick buck without considering the long term affects of the negative feedback these products get.

EA Sports may have the comfort of exclusive licenses of the NFL, PGA, NCAA Football & FIFA but I think within the next 5 years license exclusivity will be deemed not in the public interest & become restricted if not completely eliminated. What then EA?

I would not be totally shocked if within the next few years Electronic Arts dissolve the EA Sports branding.

Well Ian Cummings isn't really a name that most people that read IGN, Gamespot, Joystiq, etc. would recognize.

By who? The Court of What You Want? Telling a business how they can sell the rights to their product is a slippery slope.

Yeah, but lead designer/creative director of Madden is.
