EA-owned development house located in Maitland, Florida, just outside of Orlando. Tiburon was founded in 1994 as an independent development studio. It soon teamed up with publishing giant Electronic Arts, and by the end of 1997, EA had published 12 Tiburon-developed games. On April 1, 1998, EA bought Tiburon and made it a wholly-owned subsidiary. Tiburon is responsible for EA's long-running Madden and NCAA Football series.
