[EXCLUSIVE] Madden NFL 10 News!

[strong safety]

Quite the mission statement, and coming early nonetheless! I'm very excited to see that emotion come onto the Madden team and I'm anxious to see what you guys can deliver. Start kickin butt and backing up those words!

Wow Ian, sounds great... sorry I am late to the party, but I lost power for 3 days due to the midwest storm. It has felt like an episode of Survivor sleeping in freezing weather with no heat...

Still, I'm hyped!

Simply the best news I've heard all week/year! I'm a HUGE Franchise Mode fan... Needless to say that I was extremely disappointed with Madden 09's Franchise Mode. Hearing you say this almost brought tears to my eyes! lol

My excitement for Madden has increased ten fold. Do you guys have time to make some big dents this year though? Has Donny gotten a good head start?

Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!

One more question though, who get the autographed, by Phil, copy of Madden 10? I guessed the "ULTIMATE SIM EXPIERENCE!"... I say I win.

EDIT: Nevermind, looked through Ian's posts, somebody won

Bold statement, but I love that you guys are setting the bar high and that this team wants to deliver a top notch product that represents the sport. I noticed that you didn't mention that Everything you see on Sunday, see it in Madden NFL 10, but that's fine with me. If that's what the team is striving for, major improvements will be made and the series will regain some of the lore it has lost since the transition to Next-Gen. As long as you guys are working to give us a better representation of the sport and noticeable changes are made, you'll retain the support from the majority (if not all) of the members of this community.

I think they will be able to get a majority of what the community has asked for in Madden 2010. Ian does not seem like the "maybe next year" kind of guy. This will be a statement year from this Madden team
