New Madden NFL 10 website is live and mentions "fight for the fumble". Cross it off your wishlist. Its as cool as you hope it will be IMO

This sounds promising.

Also, the press release came out yesterday with some details that some people haven't seen until today (at least as far as I know) (http://maddennfl.easports.com/news.a...newsId=Release).

So now we have word on pileups (officially in), "an immersive broadcast presentation that captures the suspense and emotion of the NFL," and "online innovation that will connect Madden fans together like never before."

Any thoughts on what presentation additions could be included? Warm ups as hinted at in today's Ian interview and the latest blog (http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ive-today.html)?

What about this "online innovation?"

Edit: Phil on the inclusion of online franchise:

Facebook? Huh?

But then...

/edit

Also, interesting that there was no mention of franchise/owner mode in the press released. Are there inconsequential changes to franchise mode or just changes that the mainstream (see: non-OSers) wouldn't care for? Either way, it seems like a bit of a bummer that there was no mention of franchise.
