Who will be the Madden 09 cover athlete?
More so than ever before the cover of Madden is up for grabs. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the series. With that in mind the "traditional cover athlete" and decisions behind who gets chosen could be completely different. So lets look at some of the different aspects to consider, some players who won't be on the cover, and the top contenders. (more…)...

Madden Mock Draft picks 21-23

Gametap puts odds on the Madden 09 cover athlete
Jon Robinson over at Gametap has posted his top 10 candidates for the Madden 09 cover along with odds on the likelihood of each occurring. After putting a list together for Madden 08 (while at IGN) I began to wonder if he knew more than he was letting on when he had Vince Young listed second behind only LaDainian Tomlinson (who actually was the first choice but turned it down). Up until then no one had really considered Young to be a top candidate. So if you look at his the list for 09 does...

Gamestop begins Madden Mondays blog
Gamestop will be hosting a Madden 09 blog every Monday spotlighting a new feature in the game. These features will not have been revealed anywhere else although the way they describe them makes it seem as though they won't be the "big" features in the game. It's interesting to see Gamestop revealing this Madden info. I don't think that has ever been done before. Usually media sites are relied upon rather than a retail site although it appears they are attempting to branch out from that. ...

Madden Mock Draft picks 15-17
We've reached the mid-point in the Madden Mock Draft with picks 15 through 17. The Lions and Cardinals are constant underachievers that could make a move towards contention and the Vikings actually overachieved last year but still have some major weaknesses. Who will they select for Madden that could help them the most? (more…)...

First Madden 09 producer blog
In what is sure to be the start of many more to come leading up to release, EA Sports has posted the first producer blog for Madden 09. Daniel Castorani (D-Cas) opens it up for 09. While this one doesn't include specific details about the game (still too early for that) it does go into some of the philosophies and goals that the development team are aiming for this year. Some of the topics touched on include making the game more accessible and what that means, glitches from last year that h...
