Adembroski goes off on Twitter about EA/Madden

[MrBill]

Yea, sounds like a bunch of bullshit. "Sounds like this "friend" is completely trying to discredit Adem to save face. Nobody as incompetent as they are trying to make him seem would last 5 years on a major development team.

Exactly. I have worked for major corporations for almost 20 years. If you are a thorn in the side of your leadership and you routinely show up late for work, you have given them all the ammunition with HR they need to bounce you out the door.

I sort of stopped reading that article from the guy with "acquaintances" when it said he would routinely show up 4-5 hours late or NOT AT ALL. What company would continue to employ someone like that for longer than a month or two at the most especially in the game development field where time is pretty important?

Yeah that article is just trying to smear broski. I mean I think broski is a faggot but I still believe everything he says about EA since we all kind of knew that shit anyways... but lol even having hired him in the first place.

Libel, no?

It's funny how that comment is true in some regards. Why EA lets some of those people who have no game development knowledge in is beyond me. I've been on this since some of the MM guys were getting jobs there.

I think its okay to let some people on to kick around ideas for the game.

There's a whole community of people who kick around idea's.

So if he was a shitty cab driver, why would they expect him to actually get quality work done on areas of the game where he didn't have the experience to adequately get it done?

If you put an OL at WR and expect him to run routes and catch passes, I don't blame the OL playing WR...I blame the idiots who put him in that position.

I honestly doubt A.J. Dembroski was stupid enough to routinely show up late for work.

It was just an anonymous rip job comment from some anonymous douche online.

At least A.J. manned up and used his own name in his rip job. Any anonymous guy could write that stuff about him.

Preaching to the choir. The Kotaku comment was obviously a hatchet job. They went too far in their criticism to have any air of credibility for people that have any experience in the corporate world.

 

[Playmakers]

lol. found this on kotaku, straight ether.

I smell B.S.

Just EA trying to save face over their half a$$ work with these sports games.

But to be honest even if this little twitter thing didn't happen some people would still feel the same way about what EA has been doing lately. Releasing games that are broken or unfinished is not cool in my book....

Now I'm saying Madden 13 is a bad game but there are still somethings that they did IMO that was totally fuched up.

Funny thread

The only thing that annoys me about all this is people seem to think I was a cab driver when EA hired me, which I understand based on the context, I didn't really clarify. That said, being not entirely sober, I wasn't really thinking of the consequences. I wasn't. I was a software designer for an IT firm. I drove cab in College. I just kinda miss it. It was nice not to have to take my work home.

For the record, Kotaku never contacted me, I'm not sure what they were talking about me refusing to discuss it more. I would have refused, but they never tried.

Cheers.

So will be seeing more of you around here at VSN now that you've parted company with EA?
