Get together with friends and crown a “King of the Couch” during your pre-game tailgate party or during halftime. Quick, exciting game modes ensure that anytime is the right time for Madden NFL 10 on the Wii.
MADDEN SHOWDOWN
Madden Showdown is a 1-4 player tournament. Enjoy classic 11-on-11 football or experience the thrill of playing 5-on-5 in this quick, customizable competition, as you and your friends go head-to-head in an effort to become the next Showdown Champion.
There are three major feature components to Madden Showdown:
- Game Changers
- Prediction System
- Spotlight Moments
Game Changers
The rules of NFL football have remained largely the same for many years with little to no deviation. Game Changers allows you to change all of that with a click of the Wiimote. Users can mix and match between eight different options, each placing a unique spin on the game.
- All Passing Plays
o If three yards and a cloud of dust just isn’t for you, then turn this option on and never look back. - All Running Plays
o You’ll be pounding through the tackles and running for daylight on every play if you choose this option. - Fumblitits
o Everyone gets a bad case of the butter fingers when you turn this option on. - Invisibility
o Keep your eyes peeled because you never know when the player lined up across from you might just disappear! - It’s Alive
o You can thank your coach for drilling the concept of “keep playing until the whistle blows” into your head, because in this mode the play might not be over when you think it is. - Random
o Pick this option and you’ll never know what you’re going to get from one game to the next. - Tug of War
o You only have one play to advance the ball before turning it over to your opponent, so make the most of it! - Turbo Mode
o For those impatient types, this option will finally get the game of football caught up to your speed.
Winning on the field isn’t everything. The prediction system gives you a chance to predict the outcome of three different categories per game. To top it off, you have the option to risk your points in order to get ahead. If you win, it will positively affect your ranking in the tournament. If you lose, your poor decision-making could cost you the lead or dig you into a deeper hole.
