EA Sports Producer Used to Bad-Mouth The Company He Now Works For -- But Now Wants Sympathy from Gamers!
David Rutter, the man behind FIFA 2010, is tasked with meeting EA Sports President Peter Moore's ambitious target for FIFA 2010 of reaching an average Metacritic score of 90.
David Rutter admits to once having a darker side towards EA, is looking for sympathy from the gaming community:
“It does upset me that people bad-mouth EA, and I used to be one of those people. But the fact that I am allowed to spend so much money on making good gameplay, without having to do anything gimmicky, to me speaks volumes of the work Peter Moore and other people in the organization are doing."
“And that is doing what matters most to the fans, refining the game, innovating and putting in game modes that people want.”
“It is going to be very, very hard. Our Metacritic is currently 87, and getting those extra three per cent is a really hard challenge to overcome. But I’m confident that when FIFA 10 finally comes out, it will be exactly what the gamer wants.”
