BONUS Madden NFL 10 Blog: USAF Thunderbirds

06:36 PM - May 25, 2009 by Ian_Cummings

There won't be a Madden blog next week due to us all being out at E3, so with this being Memorial Day this blog seemed very fitting to make up for it. Enjoy!

	"Hey Madden fans - just wanted to drop in with a bit of good news and show an upgrade that we've added to Madden NFL 10 - and that is the addition of the USAF Thunderbirds! These elite pilots make a guest appearance in our Super Bowl and Conference Championship games, buzzing over the stadium at speeds exceeding 300 mph, leaving a nice trail of smoke in their wake."

Couldn't get rights to both the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels in time. Hoping to have a bunch of them next year as well as other aircraft like stealth bombers, choppers, and the like.

I think the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds are like big rivals too btw...

That is excellent the more variation the better. Keeps things from getting old.

lol...WHAT game are you developing again.

Anyway, things seem to be shaping up nicely. I'm curious to see what other presentational touches you guys are keeping under wraps to this point (My fingers crossed for some of it to be franchise presentation as well).

Man Ian having all that would be awsome bro. Thanks again for the great job you and your crew is doing.

# 109 project_mist @ 05/25/09 10:39 PM

If you watch this video, you will notice that after the players run out the tunnels... the thunder birds fly by the stadium. neat huh? It was cool back in 04 when I saw it for the first time.

Only because they both think they're the best.

It's actually more of a service branch thing (USN v. USAF). I'm sure the Navy guys would jump at the chance knowing the Airforce guys got in though.

I used to be an avionics technician for F-18's (what the Blue Angels fly) and have done my fair share of maintenance on Blue Angels, and worked with Blue Angel pilots. They'd eat up the attention, believe me...lol

Jets fly into the Falcons dome through a vent and fly around scaring people then go back out through the vent....

STUPID DOME!!!!

I told a friend of mine from Ireland who's a big football fan that Madden was getting F-16s and his response was, "WTF, the plane?! WHY!?"

It's part of the new "Thunderbird" offense. You're RB and TE provide cover fire, your OL softens the interior defenses, and then your QB bombs the **** out the enemy territory using his WRs. Easy 6.

Of course, there is the concern of "cheesers" ruining this...

...sorry.

# 114 SteelerSpartan @ 05/25/09 10:48 PM

Man we got some nice stuff today....needless to say Im really pumped for next week and hope we get some juicy footage to tear apart for feedback

I thought it was funny how both coaches waddled like ducks onto the field.

That was the best part

# 118 project_mist @ 05/25/09 10:57 PM

Dude just stop Stop what? It's a cool feature... it was awesome when I saw it back in 04 during my NFL2K5 franchise. Watch the video and see the thunder birds fly over the stadium.

You do realize that it's possible to see your previous posts, right? Your agenda in your limited time here is painfully obvious.

2k is gone. Just let it go.

# 120 project_mist @ 05/25/09 11:12 PM

Um, again... the feature is cool. It was much cooler when I was exposed to it for the first time 5 years ago, much in the same way that first time viewers are wide eyed now. Stop being insecure, and reading way to much into the post.
