Madden Creative Director, Ian Cummings is Leaving Tiburon

Meh, don't really care. Ian didn't do that much imo. I didn't like the direction the madden series was going anyways. I'm still looking forward to ncaa.

NCAA guy anyway. Not a big deal imo. First time in 7 years I didnt buy madden. Bout to make it a second straight.

Good news...

I commend Ian and co. for their efforts but I think we can all agree that Madden needs an infusion of new blood. Simply put, Madden was falling below our expectations and maybe a change in personnel can bring improvements. We'll see.

Guys, this is your only warning. You're allowed to not like the direction of Madden, but express it in a mature manner (ie no name calling, bashing or blind hate comments) or there will be consequences.

good news madden been the same game for the past 3 years thats enough time for him and his crew to change it they've fixed things that should have been fixed in each installment or shouldnt have to been fixed. I'm sure a change of leadership and crew should help this game get back on track

1. That's quite literally not true, speaking as someone who tolerated M09, loved M10, and liked M11
2. It's an annual video game series centered around American football; the sport doesn't exactly evolve from year to year, just what are your expectations?

Not to defend him, but he does have a valid point if he means that though they add features, the core elements of parts of the game are bad.

For instance, if you are good at timing you can pretty much run slants up the field. And the fact that there is no defense at all online.
