Rumor: Fitzgerald, Polamalu Madden 10 Cover
AZCentral.com is reporting a source has revealed that Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald will be on the cover of Madden 10. However it may not be just Fitzgerald as he may be joined by Steelers SS Troy Polamalu. You can read the full posting on the subject here.
I have actually come across some information that could confirm at least part of this rumor but I am checking into it further before posting on it. This duo certainly would be at the top of anyone's most likely list for the cover this ...
Madden 10 Franchise Mode Improvements
Another Monday brings a new Inside EA Blog for Madden 10. This time it is franchise mode that is being spotlighted. The post is done by Josh Looman who was the lead designer for NFL Head Coach 09 and moved over to Madden for this year. Detailed in the blog are areas such as offseason player signing logic, the draft, and player progression. You can check out the full posting here.
Since our ‘foundation’ is the logic behind every decision made in franchise mode, we knew we really...
Next Two Madden 10 Cover Candidates
Last week the Madden 10 website launched and stated that a new set of candidates for the Madden 10 cover would be posted each Monday leading up to the reveal on Thursday April 23rd. The first two possibilities were Adrian Peterson and Ed Reed.
As announced just moments ago on EA Sports Live the next two options for the cover are Ben Roethlisberger and Brandon Jacobs. With the amount of exposure Big Ben has received in the first two screenshots and his mention here it makes me doubt he'll ...
New Madden 10 Screenshot

Jay Cutler To The Bears
Reports are now surfacing that the Broncos have agreed to a trade sending Jay Cutler to the Bears. The package for Cutler is said to include two first round picks, a third round pick, and Kyle Orton. A fifth rounder will be sent back along with Cutler to Chicago.
That is a hefty price to pay but rare is the opportunity to get a QB of Cutler's caliber. This is especially the case for the Bears who have suffered through mediocrity at the position for so many years. The Broncos definitely come o...
Most Likely Destinations For Jay Cutler
Yesterday Broncos owner Pat Bowlen came out and publicly stated that the team is attempting to trade Jay Cutler. This is the culmination of a rocky month ever since his name surfaced as having been part of the talks between the Chiefs, Patriots, and Bucs in what ended up just being Matt Cassel to the Chiefs.

2009 Madden Mock Draft 4-6
The first three selections in the 2009 Madden Mock Draft could well be the same ones chosen on NFL Draft day. However now is where the picks start to deviate from what the normal mocks out there are predicting. Remember this is not my mock of what I expect to go down on April 25th. Instead it is a look at the players teams might choose based on who would help them the most in Madden 10 and beyond.
Picks 4-6 belong to the Seahawks, Browns, and Bengals. Continue on to view those selections ...
