Holt reframed how the company looked at the college football game -- one which EA Sports stopped making in 2013 in part due to a lawsuit from former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon surrounding name, image and likeness rights. NIL was still an unknown. So were logistics of reviving a franchise dormant for, at that point, more than six years.
the back of Ben Haumiller's office on the third floor of EA Sports' Orlando headquarters. There's Florida State gear everywhere, too. Years ago, Haumiller was a college student at Florida State. He played in EA Sports' competition to find the best college football video game player in America. Rob Jones, the senior production director of College Football, was Holt's first hire. A devout Michigan fan with memorabilia all over his office, Jones returned to EA in 2020 from 2K Sports, where he worked as a producer on the NBA 2K series for most of the 2000s and 2010s and helped launch the company's College Hoops series as the game's first producer. Together, he and Holt started building the college football team.
The team created a pageantry database, which became a rolling list of traditions and idiosyncrasies for all 134 FBS programs. They asked schools for help, added what they knew from their own college football fandoms and even scoured fan forums to find things they may have missed -- or to learn that a school no longer did tradition X or hand signal Y.
But the majority of the almost 150 stadiums in the game had to be built from scratch. Even though theis the same as Madden, what the college football team needed to do was much different -- one of the many reasons EA Sports insists it won't look or feel the same as the Madden series. While there were some pieces from NCAA Football 14 they could use, those stadiums and mascots were built on a different engine for a different console. Not much would translate, so they had to start from the beginning.
There were small things in stadiums which held import, too. For McLeod, a diehard Michigan State fan, it came from Arkansas State, where there is a waterfall in the stadium and when the Red Wolves score a touchdown, fountains go off.
