At one time my greatest ambition was to work for Electronic Arts on its NHL franchise in some capacity. I actually came very close, too. Reading this makes me glad I didn’t come any closer.

For what it’s worth, EA’s NHL games have not been nearly as good as Sega’s ESPN branded NHL games for the past three years. After reading the article linked to above (an account written by the spouse of an EA employee), I think I understand why it hasn’t been keeping up.
