I’ve got a trifecta of Madden NFL 10 goodies for you today straight from the PR folks at EA Sports.
First up are a series of five all-new screenshots, one of which depicts the first in-game menu screen. Click any of the thumbnails below to see Ben Roethlisberger airing one out or action down in the trenches.
Next is the first official game trailer dubbed “Heads Are Going to Roll” based on the Cardinals vs Steelers Superbowl. The PS3 and Xbox 360 graphics look maybe a hair better than last year but otherwise it’s “Madden” as you’d expect.
And finally here are the official bulletpoints for Madden NFL 10 which will be expanded upon closer to the game’s August 14 release.
- Pro–Tak – This all new animation technology provides unprecedented control over the outcome of every play. Drag defenders towards the first down marker, including up to 9-man gang tackles, fight for a fumble at the bottom of the pile, and evade the rush with all-new quarterback avoidance actions. Enhanced play at the line of scrimmage features a new blocking system that allows the quarterback to step into the pocket and gives the defensive line more control over the rush.
- Unprecedented Authenticity – Referees peeling players off a fumble pile, the chain gang rushing in to measure for a key first down, and all-new player equipment ensure that if you see it on Sunday, you’ll see it in Madden NFL 10.
- Fight for Online Dominance – Delivering the most comprehensive online offerings in franchise history, Madden NFL 10 includes new modes to satisfy the competitive and cooperative football gamer.
- The Emotion of the NFL – New TV broadcast-style presentation and cinematic cameras bring the suspense and intensity of the NFL to your living room.
- Enhanced Franchise Mode – Run each aspect of an NFL franchise: draft players, sign free agents, manage the salary cap – just like a real GM. Enjoy all of the action throughout the league via a new, network inspired highlight show.
- Madden NFL Your Way – The most customizable version of Madden NFL to date! Alter gameplay options to adjust the experience to your liking.
