This week - like many Augusts before - the masses once again are able to get their hands on the latest edition of Madden NFL - the wildly popular video game franchise produced by EA Tiburon in Maitland.
The LA Times technology blog tells the tale of what happened when the news was released that Michael Vick would be playing this season for the Philadelphia Eagles.
If you were with some senior developers at Electronic Arts Tiburon, you would have been caught halfway through your meal at Buffalo Wild Wings in Orlando, elaborating the launch of one of the year's biggest titles, Madden NFL 10, which began selling at midnight.
Instead of high-fives, though, the development team had to regroup. They had to make one more pass at the game to add Vick into the virtual lineup.
"I looked at our product manager and said, 'Couldn't he have just given us just one more day?' " recalled EA Tiburon spokesman Rob Semsey, who was part of the group at the restaurant. But it was after 8 p.m., and there was no time for deep philosophical discussions.
The game's art director, Mike Young, immediately abandoned his wings and headed back to the studio. Donny Moore, Madden's designer, who was en route to the restaurant, made a U-turn right back to the studio.
The rest, about eight others, got to work at the restaurant.
Can't EA just use the models from the last Madden game that featured Vick? Not quite. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/08/madden-nfl-10-michael-vick.html
EA has confirmed that Vick will be added as part of the August 19 roster update.
