John Madden's influence on EA's Madden games went way beyond the cover

Washington Post - Technology News

Madden, the former Super Bowl-winning coach of the Oakland Raiders, first leant his name to the video game series in 1988 with the stipulation that the game be realistic and representative of actual NFL football. That started with a requirement that the game feature 11 players on each side of the ball, a massive computational challenge for the hardware of the early 1990s. Once solved -- thanks in part to the help of developers at Bethesda Softworks and their game "Gridiron!"

You will be able to interact with John Madden's bronze bust at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. During his enshrinement speech at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006, iconic Oakland Raiders coach, NFL analyst, pitchman and video game namesake John Madden, remarked that all the bronze busts commemorating Hall members in Canton, Ohio, secretly talk to each other after dark. Now, through a combination of conversational artificial intelligence, augmented reality, 3D animation and facial motion capture, fans attending the Super Bowl Experience in Atlanta next week, or who later visit the Hall in Canton, will be able to "converse" with an interactive version of Madden's bronze bust. You'll launch an app and hold an iOS or Android phone or tablet in front of Madden's actual bust, and ask your question – "Hey coach, what was it like after Super Bowl XI getting carried off the field?" or "What was it like to coach against Vince Lombardi?" The Raiders enjoyed their heyday under coach John Madden, who led the team to a 112-39-7 record from 1969-78.
