I believe this is great that Ian listened to the community who did not want this unnecessary change. I applude him for his actions.
When contrasting NCAA and Madden, I do not know any developers who work for Madden or NCAA. It's just obvious to me who has the superior help screens and what Madden 11 needs to do to truly fix their "stuck" issue. And it's not by eventually forcing people this year or the next to use their new strategy pad. The switch to the strategy pad was unnecessary.
If the Madden devs and Mr. Cummings seriously want to address the "stuck" issue they simply need to use last year's controls, and copy what NCAA 11 has done with their help screens. EA told us years ago they were merging the NCAA and Madden teams so the controls would be more unified and whoever came up with the best approach would copy the other. Somehow, something happened along the way and some things NCAA and Madden share and some things they don't.
Anyone else think this is good or bad. (for the record part of my post was from
