Interesting read

50 people to code madden, 550 more to monetize it.

 shiiieeet! It takes that many people to copy/paste?

Good read. Pretty interesting.

We probably set the expectation way too high and then fell a little bit short on what we delivered.

Yet they slowly get worse. It is the NFL's fault as much as EA. They allowed a company without the skill to be the only one to make their games. Goodell will go down as the worst commish in history.

This was the first Madden on 360, and the graphics overhaul was impressive. 

I never knew what a labor it was to make the game. Makes sense as it was for a new generation console and all.
