Madden NFL 2003 PC was published by Electronic Arts and released in August 2002, for the PC platform modeling the NFL 2002 – 2003 football season. For this project I was the Lead Game Programmer, which game me the duties of doing the scheduling and management of four engineers: two engineers working in Austin and two working in Orlando. I also was responsible for coordinating with Greg Schaefer for the EA SPORTS Online component, which was being written by his team. My programming duties were to design and implement the client side EA SPORTS Online component. I was also responsible for porting the game pad and peer-to-peer online from the Madden NFL 2003 PS2 product.
