According to PastaPadre, Ian Cummings, Creative Director of the Madden franchise, is leaving Tiburon.

He also states there are quite a few other big names going with him.

What do you think about this news?

Wow, did he leave on his own or was he pushed out?

I am sorry to hear this about Ian as I think he really cared about trying to turn this franchise around. The more you look into this it just seems like everything to do with Madden is in complete dissaray. The franchise has never had any true sense of direction since the next-gen. They literally spend an entire year on features in the game just to remove them or leave them un-touched a year or two later. Its a shame because Madden was one of the more dominant game franchises out there for years. Since 2005 the only thing even keeping them around is the fact they are the only NFL game in town.

Best of luck in the future Ian!

The title of this thread is misleading imo. Pasta originally posted that these members were choosing to leave and take high wage jobs with a new start up company.
