Just to put an end to the "Madden 10 only added cosmetics" thing....

But I guess Phil & Ian didn't care about making a better game, right?

I like the second one. It's relevant because he's clearly trying to show off the new wrap tackle pose -- or saying he wants the belt Rodgers/WWE style.

It is for another topic. But I don't think they would build off of 2k8. One day I'll ask about the turnaround time.

dunno...I haven't like the game in over 6 years (the entire life span of "next gen")...any change is good as far as I'm concerned. When I look back I still to this day shake my head over the decisions that have been made about the direction of the game and the things they have chosen to work on over the years. I think it's interesting that this is the first year where I'm actually considering getting Madden (based on the videos) and it just so happens to coincide with the exit of Ian and now this guy...coincidence? Maybe.

Why are all these guys leaving Madden in particular? What the hell is going on? Then again if I were working on Madden for 15 years I wouldnt mind moving on by now.

I am pretty sure he was being interviewed and was asked to do Aaron Rodger's belt celebration. But I like to think he is challenging Rodgers for the belt.

Rumor on the street is that Frazier left EA to purse a career in MMA.

Seriously though, this is a surprise. Phil has been with Madden a long time and he will be missed. I was watching the bonus video features from Madden 2005 with Phil and some young dude named Ian Those were some cool videos and I appreciated the behind-the-scenes look and the look at the history of Madden.

Best of luck to you, Phil, in whatever you plan on doing next.
