Madden 10 Team and Player Ratings
While at E3 I was able to grab the team overall ratings for Madden 10. I also have access to the player ratings. These may not necessarily be final however they will provide at the very least a good idea of what to expect. A while back Donny Moore stated that the Pats, Steelers, and Eagles were the top three teams however in this build the Giants have overtaken the Eagles. Continue on to check out the team ratings. Leave any requests for specific player ratings in the comments and I'll re...

E3: Madden NFL 10 Impressions
The improvements to Madden 10 were quickly evident at E3. Many of them are visual which means you're immediately exposed to them and they are impossible to miss. Others such as the game speed are readily apparent as well. That suited it well to the environment that E3 offers where time with the game can be limited and the crowds can affect the experience. Reaction to Madden has been overwhelmingly positive for the most part and it received multiple "Game of E3" nominations while there. Conti...

Madden 10 Brings Online Franchise
As hoped for the big online announcement for Madden 10 was the inclusion of Online Franchise mode. Rather than if Peter Moore would be revealing Online Franchise the main question going in centered around whether it would be as fully featured as consumers would associate with a mode by such a name. Based on the trailer shown at the EA press conference and the audience reaction it appears this will not be a let down. Announced on stage at the EA E3 2009 press conference, Madden NFL 10 On...

Online Dynasty, Seahawks Alternates Slip Out?
As noticed in the video revealing online co-op in Madden 10 last night lead designer Ian Cummings makes reference to Online Franchise. Obviously most are now expecting that Online Franchise is the big announcement coming on Monday. It does seem likely, though I remain somewhat hesitant to jump right in to that assumption and get my hopes up too high. Given that EA isn't going to clarify anything to do with online co-op until Monday that makes me believe that the two are tied together in s...

Madden 10 Gets Online Co-Op
Earlier tonight on GameTrailers TV one of the new online related features for Madden 10 was revealed. The game will have online co-op! Keep in mind that what has been described as the bigger of the two online announcements is being saved for the E3 press conference on Monday. Online co-op is something I've been hoping for Madden to incorporate for a few years now. It sounds as though it will be limited to two people facing off against the CPU or two people against two other people so it'l...

First Madden 10 Gameplay Footage
IGN has posted up the first gameplay video from Madden 10. In it the Eagles visit Dallas in the new Cowboys Stadium. Amongst what can be seen is pre-game, the coin-toss, a fumble pile-up, adjusted camera, and how Pro-Tak is positively affecting multiple areas of the game. Much is skipped over so it doesn't display the full scope of the upgrade to presentation that will be seen in the build at E3. Continue on to watch the video and leave your thoughts in the comments.

Madden 10 Top Player Ratings
Last month I was able to break some ratings via Twitter while at an NFL hosted luncheon. Those ratings though were not finalized and have been tweaked continuously since. ESPN has obtained the finalized top 10 rated players at some of the positions and even break it down displaying some of the individual ratings categories. These are the official ratings that will be shipped with the game. As usual there will be a release day roster update but generally that adjusts player movement more than...

USAF Thunderbirds in Madden 10
Given all the news to come in the next 10 days there won't be a Madden 10 blog next week. In its place will be the coverage coming out of E3. With that in mind lead developer Ian Cummings has just posted up a bonus blog for today following the one that went up earlier covering the run blocking improvements. The blog covers the addition of the USAF Thuderbirds and how it came about that they would be included in the game. This is a real nice touch to the presentation adding to the feel of ...
