I’ve arrived in New York for a some events taking place beginning tomorrow. Here is what to expect for the remainder of the week leading up to a ton of stuff that will go on Saturday in conjunction with the NFL Draft.

EA Sports Season Preview Event (Thursday). Several games will be on display including NCAA Football 10 and Madden 10. There will be some embargoes involved and I’ll update on those parameters once I’ve received the details.

Draft Event Premiere (Thursday evening). There will be several athletes in attendance and the lovely Erin Andrews. Expected to be there are Michael Crabtree, Aaron Curry, Brian Johnson, Mark Sanchez, Matthew Stafford, Brian Cushing, Malcolm Jenkins, Knowshon Moreno, Brian Orkapo, and likely some more. I will have the opportunity to sit down and ask questions of some of them.

At 1230am (early Friday morning) the premiere video of Madden 10 will be featured on Spike’s Gametrailers TV. Soon after airing it will be available to watch online.

Madden cover reveal (Friday). The cover athlete will be officially unveiled with some accompanying hoopla.

Make sure to follow me on Twitter as I’ll be utilizing that for quick updates, various tidbits, posting (non-game) pictures, and even asking for suggestions of different questions to pose to producers and athletes. I will look to get an article up on late Thursday night or Friday morning recapping Thursday’s events. Again though I am uncertain of what the embargoes will cover so in the meantime outside of the announcements being made don’t expect a lot of game related content to come out of it immediately.

A couple people have already said the cover boys Fitz... they walked into a blockbuster and blockbuster had the cover out as a preorder ad. They say its him runnin.

Frank Dervis

i'll be damned---the QB's face looks---human! next year maybe they can fix the arms, and we can finally be out of the prehistoric era

Speaking of PFT, it is being "reported" that A.P. turned down an offer to grace this year's cover of Madden.............take it with a grain of salt, but I too enjoy reading Florio's stuff!

pastapadre

Like I responded on Twitter its possible Peterson isn't the guy, but the idea that he turned down a deal a couple of weeks ago is absurd. They've had the cover locked in for months.

SecureJake

Who cares?

Mykal94

The cover of Gamepro for Madden 10 has Peyton Manning, Larry Fitzgerald, and Troy Polamalu.... think that's a hint?

pastapadre

Definitely worth considering

wolverinefan

PASTAPADRE it's time to step up buddy! Give us some real inside scoops. Do whatever you have to do to get the next Madden product on the ball. Even if you have to sell your cheeks just make sure you get dat scoop Pasta. We are all counting on you

Mo Diddley has spoken!

OTG

So you post the same unfunny thing twice? Do you really need your e-ego stroked that bad?

Alex Rodriguez

Mo Diddley is a phony.

The_King_Wilmes

Madden is looking to be superb. I'm hopeing it's as good as it sounds. With all the comeback features like chain-gain, defense assignments, and accelerated clock it seems like they can't screw it up. Pasta, I would like to know more on the pre-game warm ups too. Thanks for all your help!! Keep Up The Great Work!

MAST

yea I just read news about stafford close to a deal and than the Lions deny it and than some1 from nfl.com wrote about a deal is close so it is going back and forth. I thought it would of been crabtree like others. Do you know if you will actually play NCAA or Madden tomorrow or will they show videos to you guys?

pastapadre

I think I'll get some time playing NCAA, but Madden may just be info and demonstration. Not totally sure yet.

Alex Rodriguez

I feel the same about your user name. did you think of that user name all by yourself? or did you mom give the inspiration.

MAST

Pasta I found out who is on the cover for XBOX 360. PERCY HARVIN!

I enjoy reading PFT. I would not take that news as confirmation though, PFT isn't exactly known for journalistic accuracy.

Thanks, Pasta. Can't wait to hear all the info. Have fun. Tell Erin I said hi. We go way back, me and her. I dumped her because she was too into her career. I need a woman to pamper me. She was a lot of fun, though...oh...okay.... just woke up. Sorry about that. I tend to sleeptype sometimes. Nice daydream, though.

Shomari

I agree (and that's not my type), but she's still hot.

Skihawks

Tell her Skihawks says hi....She will have no idea who I am or what that means and the most likely response from her will be, "WTF?"

Dixie Normous

Alex Rodriguez

Dixie Normous

that was the fricking stuidest comeback ever

Gabe G.

i thought you had to first insult somebody for their comment to be considered a comeback and seeing that you didn't insult him his comment isn't a comeback. its just more like an insult to your face. just my opinion take no notice of it

KcKing2

I don't know how you could sit down with Erin Andrews and even get any words out! Lol. She's gorgeous. Good luck man! haha.
