*Update – Donald Thomas RG of the Dolphins was removed from the game. I’m trying to generate a list of other missing players…
The second Madden 10 roster update just came out this morning and you’ll be happy to know Favre and Vick are back! If you don’t know how to update your roster follow these [...]

Quick rant. I hate the fact that you can’t control the length of the simulated games in franchise mode. The simulated stats from other teams are just insane sometimes. I’ve seen a stat line where Drew Brees throws 6 TDs and runs for another. If I’m playing 5 minute quarters I’m lucky to have a [...]

*Update – Read comments to get roster update using an Xbox Live Silver Account

The only way to download the Madden 10 Roster Update is to start a match against an online opponent. First select Xbox Live or Online from the menu. Then select Play under Online Match. Then select Quick Match. It will search for [...]

After playing the Madden 10 exclusive demo for a couple hours I have to say I’m more impressed by the game at this time than I was last year. Gang tackling seems a little better than last year, I still don’t see a huge difference. Half the time when a player is already getting tackled [...]

I saw about 15 minutes of the new T.O. Show on VH1 and I have to wonder what the Buffalo Bills think of all this. Their newly signed wide-receiver goes off to Los Angeles to star in a reality show where his main role is picking up women. All of these reality shows are paper [...]

The Gamestop demo codes will supposedly begin distribution on July 15th for both Xbox 360 and PS3. Gamestop hasn’t indicated how they [...]

In what looked like another episode of Jason Taylor vs. Bill Parcells the reality of it all was a player who wanted more than anything to just come home. Spending last year playing for the Washington Redskins the season ended in a bit of disappointment. Jason Taylor decided to walk away from $8.5 million this [...]

This year the Madden team at EA decided the Wii version of Madden 10 would be better suited using cartoon-like players and more arcade-like gameplay. As you can see the players have a very exaggerated look too them, almost like caricatures. When I first saw this image it reminded me of how Valve recreated the [...]

It’s awesome to see the guys at EA Sports are adding the Wildcat/Single Wing formation to Madden 10 but could it be too late? The Dolphins may not go back to the Wildcat this coming season unless they absolutely have to. Like if they start the season with two embarrassing losses.
As a game-play feature the [...]
