My copy of Madden NFL 10 arrived last week. It's not the final-boxed copy you'll find in stores in a few weeks (August 14th to be exact). It's what's known as a "build," a near-final version of the game that's only playable on a machine called a "debug unit." (Debug units are the machines developers use to test out their games before shipping them to retailers; members of the press also have them so that we can get early peeks at upcoming games.) I cued up the game over the weekend and put it through my usual Madden test. I pitted the New York Giants (the Sports Gamer's favorite NFL team) against the rival Dallas Cowboys. I decided to make the Giants play on the road, not because I want to see Tony Romo play in his home jersey, but because I wanted to get a look at the Cowboys' spectacular new stadium. (Yes, it's already in the game. And yes, it's spectacular.) And then I hit the Spectate button and I let the two teams have at it while I sat back on the couch with a gigantic bag of corn chips.
