History

Budcat was founded by Jason Andersen and Isaac Burns, who met while working at Tiburon Entertainment. The two left to form Budcat in order to develop several ports of Madden NFL 2002 for Electronic Arts. The company went on to produce a string of sports titles for EA over the next five years, including entries in the Nascar Thunder, NHL, and FIFA Manager series.

In 2005, Budcat moved to their current offices located in Iowa City in order to facilitate expanding their offices. Budcat has since worked in partnership with Majesco Entertainment and Activision on multiple titles, while continuing work with Electronic Arts on a wider variety of games.
