When Calling All Cars was released, the negative backlash drove David Jaffe to say some "non-family friendly" things about his critics, and eventually wound to him swearing off blogging for a month. However, hindsight being 20/20, Jaffe now acknowledges that his desire to try and recreate the feeling he had when he was playing games on the SNES in college may have led him to create a game that he now admits didn't have the legs for the 21st century gaming climate.

....David Jaffe came out and acknowledged that his game Calling All Cars, which may be remembered more for the spawning of the phrase "go *bleep* your mother up her jiggly *bleep* *bleep*" than for the actual game, may not have been so good.

Jaffe explains that he feels that the greatest failing in Calling All Cars was in that he wanted to try and recreate the feeling he got from playing games like Rock & Roll Racing when he was in his youth and in the process of doing that he failed to modernize it for 2008.
