While departures are nothing new in the video-game world or in any other profession, these two might receive a little extra scrutiny just because they are happening during the time leading up to Madden NFL 12’s release. Madden NFL 12 might be a significant release for EA Sports because of the potential for a NFL lockout, strike shortened season, or complete cancelation of the season.
While neither Cummings nor Wifall can do anything to control what happens with the real upcoming NFL season, Cummings wanted fans to know that Madden NFL 12 was in good hands.

Making the perfect Madden game is a tall task to be sure. Madden NFL 11 took some steps in the right direction and hopefully Madden NFL 12 will continue to move the series forward despite Cummings and Wifall moving on. Hopefully they both find their next step in their careers satisfying and make some great games if that is what the choose to do and hopefully Madden fans will get the great game they deserve.
