A show called "The Extra Point"

[Aso]

I'll give you a new comment.

Superstar wasn't a focus for us this year. You all have seen the heavy focus on gameplay (Pro-Tak and much more). We've got some big stuff in online that will be announced soon, and Franchise is getting a lot of tuning, bug fixing, and a new show called The Extra Point. On top of all this, lots of time spent on presentation this year. Simply put, we tried to focus on the fundamentals and what is core to the Madden NFL Franchise.

I wouldn't expect any big Superstar feature announcements this year but the feature is of course included in Madden NFL 10.

We'll get to find out more May 28, 11PM on Spike TV. There will be an hour episode of Gametrailers TV. I really don't care about superstar mode though. They should just take out superstar and add in the ability to see as the player. Like first person football except its just an additional camera view you can use if you want.

Heard about this on IGN yesterday. Looking forward to hearing more about this new show.

with so much focus on gameplay and this pro tak thing is the chise really gonna live up to the hype at all? i would settle for what we had on ps 2 right now to be honest. at least that was a playable chise.

I'd be SHOCKED if online franchise doesn't make Madden 10 given the sucess/reaction from the community with online dynasties. However, I'd also be surprised if you heard it before the release of NCAA.

EA wants to maximize its profits and really with the focus this year on Madden being gameplay a die hard NCAA guy like myself is wondering why anyone would purchase NCAA if Madden does in fact get online franchises.

They did say they would announce a big online feature at E3 though which i am pretty sure is June 2-4.

"FYI, The Madden news coming out this week (Spike) isn't the real 'big' news; the big news is actually at E3. This week is sorta cool though."

So it seems we'll hear some minor news tomorrow then real big news at E3. I am guessing the news on Spike will be all the details on "The Extra Point" and then at E3 online franchise will be announced.

lo I love the way you said that. It's like you already know they are gonna have it in the game. As much as I want it and think that it will make it in Madden 10 also. I am gonna find it pretty effin hilarious if we all get a major let-down and there is no online franchise this year. Lets all just pray until we get the announcements.

And I agree, just take superstar mode out.

VERY nice if it is what I think it is. I remember this feature on ESPN NFL 2k5 with Berman hosting NFL Primetime going through highlights of the week. Although it had it's fair share of glitches, it was still very awesome. I'm hoping that's what this is, that article makes it sound like it is.

Seen comments like these coming from a mile away.

We have always wanted Madden to be more like 2k5, and have better presentation.

So they abide our commands, and now we make fun of them.

Wtf do you expect them to do?

lol I was not making fum of them at all, I was completely serious about that. I love how they are improving the presentation a ton.

I used to own ESPN 2k5, and honestly it was dogshit covered in diamonds.

The presentation was nice, and a lot of the animations were nice, but in reality Madden 06 and 07 for the PS2 were better.

People to this day still think 2k5 is the best football game ever made. And it may be. But when it came down to actual gameplay Madden 07 08 09 for the PS2 are the best football games hands down for gameplay.

I do agree with 2k5 being better than Madden 06 07 and 08 for the 360, but not for the ps2. Those late year Madden PS2 games are untouchable.

I feel the same way you do. I loved 2K's presentation but hated the actual gameplay, playbooks, AI logic, and just about everything else that occurred on the field. Madden was always the better game to play and 2K was always the better game to look at or watch.

Defense on 2K really sucked. Madden 06 and 07 on PS2 were gold though.

One reason people love 2K5 is because they can get historic rosters. I am gonna create some Historic rosters this year on Madden 10. First is the 1999 Rams.
