Episode Notes

This week we're joined by Madden NFL's creative director, Mike Young (@michaelyoungCD), the director of LONGSHOT and LONGSHOT: Homecoming in a VERY SPECIAL EPISODE of Sports Anomaly. 

While we take a second to discuss EA's latest deal with the NFL and the return of the NHL, this episode centers on the making of Madden NFL 18's playable movie, LONGSHOT, starring two-time Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali. In this never-before-spoken-aloud exclusive, we discuss the trials, tribulations, and hilarities of co-writing the first sports video game to be nominated for the Writers Guild of America Award for Video Game Writing.
