Big hello to all FIFA and football fans out there,

My name is Marcel Kuhn and I am a Producer on the next FIFA 360/PS3 game.

I moved to Canada 7.5 years ago (from Germany/Austria), the sole reason being to be able to work on FIFA. I started in the EA Localization department as a German-English translator and since then worked my way into the FIFA Production team. My first FIFA on the Dev team was FIFA 06 where I started out on Presentation / Audio. Since then I was able to get my hands on pretty much every portion of the game, enjoying Game Play and Manager Mode the most.

Football wise, my heart starts to pound heavier when VfB Stuttgart and Sturm Graz are playing. I was born in Austria and since my dad is a GAK fan, I was bound to become a fan of the local rivals…the “Blackies”. That being said, I grew up in Germany and started to support the local team VfB Stuttgart. Being a fan of 2 teams has it’s advantages, but unfortunately these two clubs tend to lose key matches at the same time…which is twice as devastating. After it’s title 2 years ago, Stuttgart is having a typical indifferent season, and our hope that the new coach will bring consistency to the club, was flattened by a 1-5 loss to Munich in the cup this week.

Oh…one more thing…you might have heard my voice in your FIFA 09 game, as my colleague Mike and I are currently in charge of recording the FIFA podcast. If you have any ideas or suggestions what would be interesting to talk about in the podcast, drop me a line and we’ll see what we can do. That being said, the format of the podcast is about receive a little “facelift” so keep the speakers on high volume while playing FIFA 09 .

Ok, wrote way more then initially planned and will leave with another “Hello, nice meeting you” to everyone out there and hope to read and discuss football as well as FIFA with you soon.

Cheers,
marcel
