Madden NFL 11 Q&A With Ian Cummings (Examiner)

[NoSubs]

Ian on the Stategy Pad, "I think with Strategy Pad we underestimated the amount of people that really weren't willing to try a change to the control scheme that they were used to."

In my opinion, that comment sounds pretty condescending. I think people were definitely willing to try it, evidenced by the fact that they are still playing the demo. It is just that after trying it, the preference was for the old system which is more efficient (less button presses) and more ergonomic (on the 360 you don't have to move your hands from the regular controls).

If something has failed for logical reasons, man up to it. Don't just blame it on consumers by claiming they are too scared to try something new.
