Don Traeger's contributions to the genre of sports gaming cannot be understated. After moving to EA from Atari, Don co-founded EA Sports, working directly with iconic athletes like Michael Jordan and Larry Bird to create countless sports titles for home computers and consoles, and setting the standard for the stats-based rosters we see in modern titles. In this premiere episode of QTB Legends, we learn about his early days at EA, the creation of EASN (the precursor to EA Sports), and the many untold stories of his behind the scenes work with major athletes and sports franchises.
