True, but now he moves into a market that cares less about such things.
Can't say I agree at all. The respective markets for ALL of EA Sports' franchises have QA issues that EA seems to never address either before a game is shipped or after. There are GLARING issues with the Tiger series as well as others that should NEVER make it into a retail copy of a game. EA Sports has in the past insulated itself pretty well ignoring such issues, but I do believe they are "starting" to wake up and smell the coffee to some extent if their plans for supporting Tiger are any indication....
I'm saying the MARKETS care less about QA issues. LESS, not AT ALL. Madden could have been a piece of cardboard (could have? ) and it would have sold tons the last few years. Even if the fans are starting to wake up, the 'MY SYSTEM BROKE' crowd raises a larger ruckus than the 'DB AI stinks' crowd.

Who stole your login, you EA shill...
j/k
LOL, fair comment even if you were kidding. Years of backing EA has taken its toll on me and with the release of TW07, I finally decided I needed to take a step back and view things from a purely user-based perspective. EA does alot of things right, but they also do alot of things wrong and I am not at all bashful about commenting on their flaws and lack of attention in addressing them.....

Have you visited the EA forums of these franchises? I guess we are talking about different aspects of QA. I cannot find a single EA Sports game that I have played that does not have glaring QA issues that should have been addressed. User feedback confirms this no matter what "MARKETS" you might be referring to.
