DESCRIPTION

Madden NFL 17 builds on top of all the core aspects of the game you’ve come to love. An upgrade to Ground Game, an overhaul of Franchise Mode, Ball Carrier UI improvements and Path Assist to guide the player down the best available route.

In Madden NFL 17, we gutted the commentary system and built it from the ground up to 10x previous Madden titles with our new announcers Brandon Gaudin and Charles Davis.

ROLE



On Madden NFL 17 I served as Development Manager and Scrum Master for the Broadcast Presentation, Graphics, and Longshot Advanced Team through pre-production and development.

I would inherit the Audio and Commentary pods post launch, and lead them through 3 patches of commentary updates and weekly Live Commentary Updates released in-sync with the 2016 NFL season broadcasts.

KEY CONTRIBUTIONS

• Continuous Dev – Managed prioritization and execution of 3 patches worth of additional Commentary content updates for M17 post-launch, alongside driving M18 port handoff efforts and pre-pro for Audio/Commentary/Broadcast/UI for M18.

• Live Commentary Updates – Managed prioritization and execution of weekly Live Commentary Updates in sync with events occurring concurrently with the 2016-17 NFL Season, from script approval through technical in game implementation.
