My Contributions

As a key member of the Madden NFL Mobile 20 development team, I took on a multifaceted role encompassing feature design, content creation, and tutorial event development. With a focus on ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience, I worked closely with the team to conceptualize and implement innovative new features.

As part of my role, I played a central role in designing and implementing content for the Masters Series. Whether it was crafting compelling gameplay elements or creating immersive new environments for players to explore, I leveraged my expertise to bring the game to life in exciting new ways.

To help players get up to speed quickly and easily, I also designed and developed tutorial events for the FTUE. These events provided a comprehensive introduction to the game's mechanics and features, ensuring that every player had the tools they needed to succeed on the field.

Content Design

On this project, one of my key responsibilities was to work alongside the Lead Designer to conceptualize and design content for the Masters Series. This included creating gameplay events and designing over a 100 stages for this feature. I collaborated closely with the art team to ensure that the art style for the Masters Series was consistent with the overall aesthetic of the game.

As part of my work on the Masters Series, I also fixed and implemented art assets, ensuring that everything was functional and visually appealing for players. Finally, I worked with the Feature Designer of the Seasons mode to create stories and content that enhanced the gameplay for the new Seasons mode.

As part of my responsibilities, I created detailed and engaging tutorials to introduce players to new scheme mechanics, such as Spread, Smashmouth, West Coast, and Vertical, that provide players with greater control in the game. By perfecting their skills with these offensive schemes, players can take control of scoring points and defeating opponents both on and off the field.
