Madden Team Gets MLB: The Show's Senior Producer

Posted December 23, 2011 by M.H. Williams

Kolbe Launchbaugh has been with SCEA for 15 years, with 9 of those years being spent on the MLB team. Well, that era is over, with Launchbaugh revealing in an open letter on Operation Sports that he's leaving the company to be creative director at EA Sports' Madden team.

“Beginning Jan. 9th I begin work as a Creative Director for EA on the Madden Team. I'm sure many of you will follow along as I get to know that 'sub community' while I learn and interact with the Madden fans on the site. This is a huge change in my career, and a huge change for my family,” he wrote.

Launchbaugh replaces Ian Cummings, who left the Madden team back in April.
