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!

Yea I'm a bit shocked at Ian leaving aswell. I never thought he would of jumped ship. But oh well he had a good run while it lasted. I guess he wanted to leave and do better things in his life I guess. I'm thinking Josh Looman maybe one of the others leaving aswell. Not sure yet but I have that strange feeling about this one. But Ian you will be missed.

Why are they all leaving mid-cycle? What is going to happen to Madden 12...

Caught me off guard. I wonder if this is similar to Mike Wang leaving the NBA Live team because they didn't share the same vision. If so, we all know how that story ended.
However, I am anxious to see what the future entails for these ex-Tiburon guys.

Well at least he got the surprise onside kicks in... Every time I try one I'll think of him and pour one out for him.
In all seriousness, I can't fault anyone for trying to better oneself by taking a better job opportunity. Best of luck in the future Ian (and whoever else is leaving).

Thats s****y. Liked his vision for the game, even though it could never get there, it was making some strides.
Ah well, best to him and his fam.

Big shocker ... didn't see it coming. Really wonder about the future of 'Madden' in general now
I guess it makes sense that he isnt out PRing with phil and the other guy this week. Kind of sucks because I thought Ian was doing a good job and was truly passionate about the game. Cant blame him though, probably will make more money on his own and probably wont have to listen to the constant backlash of Madden fans

Beyond the videogames, as for actual life goes I applaud him. Sometimes no matter how much you love or like your job. sometimes the downside to it makes it not worth it. You have to make a change its hard, but if your willing to accept it. it could make your life better, hopefully that's what Ian shooting for.
Good Luck Ian,
Thanks for everything.
