Madden Career Toolkit Documentation

Designer and Developer

The overall design and development of MADCAT is the work of me, Brad Mallett (btmlltt). I'm a 24 year old teacher from Eastern Canada. I've got a Computer Science degree from Mount Allison University and have been doing web design since about 1995. I've been playing Madden since the first SNES version. This utility brings the kind of stat tracking to Madden that I've always dreamed of.

hedphurst came up with the name Madden Career Toolkit and the MADCAT acronym. The name was voted on from several suggestions by the Football Freaks gang.

NOman78 was the original author of the Offseason Moves module in 'offseason.php'. I simply extended it to work with relocation and changed it so it outputs acquisitions and losses for each team. His work is also what gave me the inspiration and knowledge to figure out the retired players module, so a big thank you must go to NOman78!

The official MADCAT banner/logo thingy was created by Football Freaks' resident Graphics Guru^tm BullDwg34.

Special thanks to ejk for creating the original EZFM utility, without which none of this would have been possible (I would have been too lazy to write the parsing code from scratch!)

Several MFA members helped test MADCAT before release. Thanks to (in order of their posts in the testing thread):

Tons of ideas, feedback, and encouragement came from the following members of Football Freaks:

MADCAT gets its inspiration from EZFM, BT-EZFM, league sites such as the MFL, as well as Total Pro Football.

Thanks to my mother and my fiancée Mélanie for letting me blather on about this project, even though my mom didn't quite understand what the fuss was about, and Mélanie was busy with school.

Special mention to the strange weather we had in January. So many storms allowed me to get version 1.0 out the door much quicker than I anticipated!
