Just taking into his past work history. Got to think people are good at the type of field they are working in and have created for before. Just thinking if his foundation is arcady...is creative direction would be the same base. Again, my opinion...if some think that is not founded, well we can all wait and see what direction this goes, can't we. Its like the independent thought alarm went off in here!

um if you think the Sims remark refers to sports game you are completely wrong. you do know that there is a Sims video game right?? thats the reason why it is capitalized

That is what I'm doing, taking a wait and see attitude. This new creative director also made a sim hockey game, but that one get's overlooked.

His first answer is said, gameplay is king. Does that sound like someone who wants to take Madden and NCAA into kiddy area?

What I saw with this signing is a guy who knows how to make a fun game. I'm up for that.

Now that sounds innovative, but arcade and Wii Madden 10, not so much.
I'm stoked to hear about Madden 11. Sorry I'm not living w/ the cup half empty approach, like others on here.

Guys... this probably just means they are somehow incorporating the "NFL Trainer" game into Madden. Or something like that.

Ok, I see now.
I'm still living w/ the cup half full though! New and innovative, not arcade and Wii Madden 10.

i'm with you man!!!! i wonder if this could possibly mean full integration of either the espn license or maybe even some realistic broadcasts, fox, cbs, nbc, and espn, with some of the actual analysts from games. that would be innovative!!!!
