===Background===
'''EA Tiburon''' was founded in 1994 as "'''Tiburon Entertainment'''" in Orlando, Florida. In 1998, it was acquired by [[Electronic Arts]] and was renamed to "EA Tiburon". It is best known for the ''Madden NFL'' series (since 1995; starting with the SNES version of ''Madden NFL '96'') and the ''NCAA Football'' (originally known as ''College Football USA'') series (since 1996). Its name is derived from "'''Tiburón'''", the MexicanSpanish word for "shark" (different from the MexicanSpanish word for "dolphin", which is "Delfín").

'''Visuals:''' Against an underwater background, isthere are 6six hammerhead sharks swimming underwater. 2Two of them are in the front, while 4four of them are in the back. As they swim closer, isthere are some fishes swimming through in front of the sharks. As more fishes swim through, the front left hammerhead shark notices them and chases after them to scare them. Then the screen fades into the Tiburon logo from before, waving for a few seconds as it becomes normal. There are a few differences here from the previous logo; the hammerhead shark has an American football texture like before from the ''Madden'' variants, the rectangular shape is {{color|blue}} and it has a water-like texture on it, "'''TIBURON'''" has more gradient colors inside it (normally {{color|lightblue|light blue}}-{{color|green}}, and "'''ENTERTAINMENT'''" is in a {{color|blue}}-{{color|darkviolet|purple}} gradient color.
