Half of the six announcers included in the game have Seattle Seahawks ties.
Seahawks Takeaways: What stands out after minicamp
Huard, who now calls games for FOX, was a third-round NFL Draft pick by the Seahawks in 1999 after a successful college career with the UW Huskies. The Puyallup native appeared in 22 combined games with six starts over four seasons with his hometown team.
Olsen, a three-time Pro Bowl tight end who is now also a FOX color commentator, spent the last season of his 14-year NFL career with the Seahawks.
Scott took over the television play-by-play duties for Seahawks preseason games last year.
According to Electronic Arts, which produces the Madden series: “These new teams are here to refresh your Madden NFL experience and bring it to life with over 42,000 fresh recordings at launch, with multiple in-season updates to keep it fresh.”
