Lack of direction came from Sonic Team being disbanded during gen 6. Generation 7 had new teams, leaders, and visions... Which wasnt great. Since Colors, there is a "Sonic Team" again. Quality has risen definitely, but time management is still an issue ( especially an issue with Generations), but with new CEO, that is turning around as well. Sonic has never had a development cycle for this long...EVER.

Whatever the issues are on a management level, what needs to be fixed is clear. My issue is that i'm not convinced they can identify what it is. Despite there beeing a new Sonic team, the quality of the games never returned to the average it was on during the classic and dreamcast era. Modern Sonic is a clear cop out by focusing on speed with little control, making the game play itself for the most part. Lost world Sonic was better but i don't feel the run button feels good nor did the gravity mechanics. The problem is, this new Sonic team has been trying to re-invent the wheel instead of polishing it. I just hope that they can look past ego's to return Sonic back to the quality he had when he rivaled with Mario.
Also, they need to make a Sonic maker... seriously.

"This Sonic has been trying to re-Invent the wheel instead of polishing it"
Have you been under a rock since Sonic's creation?
Re inventing the wheel has been a staple of ALL Sonic teams Since Sonic CD!! Sonic has never had consistency on the level of Mega Man and Mario.
SA1 to SA2 had a complete structure chabge after 1 game. Sonic and Knuckles were the only thing to carry over but even then changes happened. SA2 Sonic levels were designed to be downhill racetracks and lost alot of the platforming from SA1 and were also more linear.
2D/3D Boost to win that still had alot life in it, then Lost World changed it again.
Sonic Heroes had a brand new design, used for 1 game
Sonic 1 to Sonic CD is a huge change in focus. Luckily 2 beat CD to market would have been off putting if CD was Sonic 2 like was suppose to be.
Let's not mention Sonic Teams other experiments: 3D Blast, Labryth.
Re Inventing wheel to often is one of the major gripes of the franchise. Dont let your biased blind you into thinking its a current problem.
