Donny Moore, the 'Madden Ratings Czar', Leaving EA

[jfsolo]

He shouldn't respond. The way in which the question was asked, it seemed quasi-rhetorical anyway, by its tenor lends itself to being ignored.

It is a very fair question and should be looked upon as an opportunity for Kane to sell his qualifications to the community. There was nothing wrong with asking the question or the way it was asked.

The only place he needs to sell his talents and abilities is at EA, not in a forum.

Let me say that I'm dissapointed in the condescending and outright hostile tone employed by some when addressing this EA staff member. We need to tread carefully so our community continues to retain respect and cooperation from developers. I have been very vocal about criticizing Madden, unlike many on the forum who just suck up, but there is a line that shouldn't be crossed.

Well considering that he didn't answer to Charter or I when we asked previously, no, I do not expect a response, albeit it would be welcomed.

I just want to know that if someone is going to cite some information that they have the qualifications to properly use it. If that isn't the case or it doesn't matter, then so be it, but let's be real about it.

I agree that we should give him a chance to respond. I wasn't expecting an answer either way, but it would be nice. I don't care how long it takes, but any response that isn't pure sarcasm (which he has used in previous posts around here) would be welcomed.

And the Redskins are apparently the second worst team in the NFL.

I can assure as the person who asked, it was not rhetorical. Everyone gets their starts meagerly. Nobody jumps to the top of a ladder right away in this business. I want to know what his qualifications are. I simply illustrated that it is OK to start at the bottom as I did. Everyone needs to learn from somewhere/someone. If he is qualified to do the ratings full-time, considering that he was/is the equipment guru, I want to know what qualifications he has. However, he has to be willing to share and not give me all the sarcasm as he has previously on this forum.

I am simply asking questions, and as a part of the community, I should at least be able to ask. Nothing I said was disrespectful. The ball is in his court.
