Electronic Arts’ Orlando studio ‘wouldn’t be what it is today’ without John Madden, executive says

ORLANDO, Fla. — John Madden’s legacy following his death Tuesday reaches beyond the football field to the Orlando studio that makes the video game named after the Hall of Fame NFL coach and broadcaster.

“Our studio wouldn’t be what it is today without his unparalleled knowledge and significant influence on the game of football and its fans,” said Daryl Holt, vice president and general manager of EA Tiburon in Orlando, in a statement Wednesday.

“It’s a privilege to work on the game bearing his name, and I know I speak for our entire team, and especially for those of us who had the great honor of meeting John, in saying that he will be sorely missed.”
