Ian I think the community had all kinds of venom and Love for the Madden team. Simply being a madden creator has to be difficult due to the impossible task of putting out a perfect game. A bit like Atlas I suppose, holding the world.
I appreciated your diligence under fire. Though personally i liked the 'weapons' of madden. So i like that direction.
as a fan of Madden I feel it had to be difficult to choose what features were in madden let alone how you felt excited about that game.
well I hope all goes well for Phil and yourself!

Selfishly, I'm sad to see Phil move on.
He and Ian were both so good about sticking it out with the community even when things got rough (I remember Ian breaking the news about sliders a couple years back, and him and Phil staying through everyone's venomous bs).
Regardless of what anyone thinks of Madden as a franchise over the past several years, Phil always seemed like a class act. Best of luck to him!

Damn.........
Phil was a cool guy. He reminded me of that secret service agent with the glasses on the movies Hackers. Ok for you kiddies, Hackers came out in the 90s. I am sure you can find it on Netflix.
Watch the movie. You can't tell me that Phil don't look like that dude.
But anyway......life goes on. In a way I am not surprised. Maybe Cam wanted to bring in his own guys to run things, which wouldn't be out of the realm of the norm.
Wouldn't it be funny if Adembroski get promoted to executive producer after being there for a year ? That would be funny, talk about pressure.
More then lkely if Cam don't bring in his own guys, Josh probably will just take over as the new head or maybe Mike Scantlebury.

I know one thing Ian and Phil wont miss..That guy from E3 yelling in their ear like a maniac for 4 quarters of the game!!!! "I'M SAMUEL L. JACKSON B%#CH DRINK MY MOTHERF%@#ING BEER!!!!!!"
With all these big names leaving. Is the Madden and the use of his name on the game Next? I say f' it. end the NFL/EA deal.. and let the competition begin for who can make the best football game.

New engine not going to happen for Madden and NCAA this generation. Not when the next 360/PS3 coming out in a couple years.
Being with EA for 13 years shows he has put in hardwork and effort into the game. Im sure most are appreciative.
Unfortunately, the game has become stale and with the addition of gimmicks year after year and having the same gameplay issues brought up year after year with no resolution have made fans turned off by the franchise. While it looks like the madden franchise is going in the "right direction, only time will tell since we've been hearing this for years.
It will be good to get some new blood and revamp the madden franchise heading into the next generation of consoles. Not much can be done now as we are deep into this generation, but i hope we dont go through another next gen debacle we called madden 2006. After getting hyped by the draft day commercial and finally playing the game months later, that was the beginning of disappointment year after year.
The madden franchise needs a brand new engine that will revolutionize football gaming and hopefully keep all the gameplay adjustments in addition to adding innovating ones. Unfortunately, those hopes were for this generation and it never came to fruition over the past six years.
Focus on game play, physics, realism. Less gimmicks and arcade like game play and features.

Wow, did I miss a bombshell or what. The one day I'm not on OS, this happens. Insane. Best of luck to Phil, he's a good guy.

Both Phil and Ian was a big part of Madden12 making this year. Both will be missed alot. Hope they have good luck in both of their lives. Guys thanks alot for the good time. You both will be missed. But I'm sure Madden future is in good hands with Kane699 and Adem working with EA aswell. Yes Phil and Ian are both gone now. But Madden will be good to go for years to come.

Until proven otherwise (and I hope strongly I'm wrong) losing Ian and Phil is nothing but bad news. Starting with 10, we FINALLY had a game (and dev team) headed in the right direction on this gen of consoles. And just as things seem to be fully coming together with 12? Who knows what the future holds now for this game.
I still remember in the spring/summer of '09, coming on here just to lurk mainly, but looking for Ian's posts to hopefully see the latest "little" additions to the game. Sometimes it seemed like he was adding these things behind the EA marketing guys' backs, like he was letting us in on some secret thing he cooked up in his lab overnight lol. I know that's crazy talk but it was a special summer for me as a semi-veteran member of these forums, having a freakin' Madden game shaped by some of OUR wants on little ol' OS.
Best of luck to you both. I'm sure the silent majority on here appreciates everything you guys did and hope you can "hear" us over the vocal minority spewing nonsense.

Mr. Cummings complaining about people saying bad things about on the internet is akin to complaining the sky is blue. It should be water off a ducks back. With luck, this post will be case in point.
I'm happy to see Ian and Phil go because to me they play a significant role in the crap that has occurred year after year on next gen. I may be wrong, I know next to nothing on EA's inner workings and am not in any way invested enough to find out (I've discovered, to my great and everlasting chagrin, that not enough people are concerned when they displease me - thus my displeasure is forever wasted).
Unfortunately, while Madden 12 appears to be what I've wanted Madden to be for years I fail to understand how people can place faith in a game that they have not played based on reviews from sites that rarely have little bad to say. Fool me once and all that nonsense. Luckily, if Madden 12 actually turns out to be amazing and then Madden 13 etc. returns to the dark years, I"ll delete this post and tearfully claim how I always lamented the loss of Ian and Phil!
