exactly.

I envy the "job" this guy has but having this information makes me really wonder what the hell they are doing. We all spend time wondering if EA has ever watched a game, now we find out that they pay someone to do it and the game is still broke year after year. I have a couple ways of looking at this........

Is he old enough to drive himself to work?

does he;
  • only watch the halftime highlights?
  • watch just the "red zone" on NFL network?
  • only pay attention to his "fantasy" players?
...and when exactly did he see the QB run backwards and blindly spin and chuck the ball 45 yards across field right before getting hit only to hit his WR in the numbers?

Then again, looking at the title closely;

EA Employee gets paid........etc.

They have all those names in the back of the book and ONE GUY watches football? ONE?!

Maybe he watching the CFL or the EFL (European Football League), but it definitely wasn't the NFL he was watching.

Steve,

You should've known better than to post this. It was just another topic that these Madden haters could put their two sense in.

Wow, the usual suspects came out on this one. To possibly get this back on track, Anthony is our playbook guru...and does this solely for playbooks. If you have complaints with playbooks, then please post them here. Anthony doesn't really have much effect on AI and things of that nature currently (though it's something we're trying to get him more involved in).

And most of us all watch football all the time (even though obviously I'm not one to say that you can't have an opinion to think we don't). In fact, here's where I was Sunday:

(P.S. going to a stadium with a bum calf...not the best idea)

It's the same people every time, saying the same **** over and over again, in some sort of bash all things Madden amateur wannabe comedy hour. Just the next step in the IGN'ization of our forums.

It gets to a point where you don't even want to read these topics anymore. I look for positive feedback to make the game better and all you get is a bunch of grown men complaining about the same crap.
