EA’s
NBA LIVE 18 had an impressive launch, thanks to many awesome
features like The One, an all-new dynamic game experience centered
around the player, the choices they make, and how they will define their
legacy on the court.
Basketball in Spain produces some of the best international players to
ever step foot on an NBA court. In addition, both of Spain’s women and
men’s national teams dominate the European leagues, and are always in
medal contention when the Olympics come around. That’s why EA SPORTS is
excited to announce that we are expanding our
NBA LIVE console team into Madrid – where the passion for the sport is only matched by the talent on the ground.
Interested in joining our team? EA Madrid is looking for passionate
Software Engineers and Development Managers of all levels to develop
genre-bending features like The One for our
NBA LIVE franchise.
