** EA Los Angeles attempted to overhaul its technology during development. The game engine they used had come under fire for its dated graphics in ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonorRisingSun'', pressuring the studio to take action. With EA demanding that ''Rogue Agent'' be released within nine months, EA LA found themselves gutting the concept in order to make it work within the confines of their in-progress engine upgrade and the strict deadline imposed by EA. Bilson was dismayed as communication between the creatives and the development team grew "out of sync", and virtually all the storylines and ambitious setpieces he had drawn up was cut in the mad dash to present a shippable product.

** The plans for the game, as originally conceived by its writers Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo was described by the first as "Goldfinger versus Dr. No", with impressive setpieces. Unfortunately, early in development, EA Los Angeles decided to rebuild the modified version of the Unreal Engine used for ''Rising Sun'' from scratch, which was more complicated than it ended up being and took much longer than expected. This cost EA LA vital time they could've used to develop the game itself, leading to large chunks of the more interesting content being scrapped due to lack of time. According to Bilson in an interview to ''Raycevik'', the game needed another year to be ready.
** In early 2004, EA LA's general manager at the time, John Batter decided that the game would have the ''[=GoldenEye=]'' name, which put much more pressure on the studio as they had now nine months to finish and release the game.

Despite certain restrictions coming down from EON and MGM regarding the pitch, it quickly entered pre-production at EA Los Angeles.
