Two aspects of Madden 10 that had remained unseen until now have been the websites for Online Franchises and the Madden Shop which is a HUB for downloadable content. Operation Sports has images of the Online Franchise website and functionality while TeamXbox has laid out the contents of the Madden Shop.

While the OF website is lacking in some areas such as the no ability for user generated content it has many of the basics with standings, schedules, and stats. It will also provide the possibility of completing tasks such as changing depth charts and drafting from the web. It should be enough to keep the owners of most franchises engaged outside of just playing their games but for the more involved owners they’ll be looking for another outlet such as independent forums to conduct league business.

As anticipated the Madden Shop has turned out to be the central location for accessing downloadable content. Similar to NCAA Football 10′s dynasty boosters there are several things that could be purchased to provide advantages as seen in this screenshot. There is also the ability to purchase the code for Online Franchise (that comes free in new copies of the game) or Elite Status which opens up a new online lobby and ability to play All-Madden ranked games. My opinion continues to be that as long as everyone is on a level playing field online (and that means it must be blocked from Online Franchise) then DLC such as this isn’t bothersome. What concerns me more are the advertisements that have appeared increasingly distracting as witnessed in the videos.

I guess they are going to shove this beta version down our throats and fix it on the fly. So the real question is how long will they continue to develop the Madden 10 version before heading back to the lab to work on Madden 11? Do you know their normal schedule Pasta?

Hey yall it looks like the Phils just picked up Cliff Lee without giving up their 3 best prospects or a current starter. Looks like a repeat fellas

Madden History

Brief Timeline decline of Madden football

2005 – Madden releases one of its most well received games in history, Madden 2005. It is regarded as the peak of Madden’s life on the Ps2 and XBOX. 2K Sports counters with the release of what will go on to be the most critically acclaimed football game of all time, NFL 2k5, which coincidentally would be 2K’s last NFL game. Times are good.

Late 2005 – EA Sports sign an exclusive licensing deal through 2009 with the NFL and the NFLPA to give them the exclusive rights to use the NFL's teams, stadiums and players in a video game.

2006 – EA misleads the public with a over dramatized movie trailer which was portrayed as being what Madden on the Next Gen gameplay would be like. This would be 100% false.

Madden History

2006 – Much hoopla gets made about EA Sports acquiring the ESPN license, which they then end up doing absolutely nothing of note with to enhance the gaming experience.

2006- David Ortiz takes charge of Madden franchise for two disastrous years that this gen Madden may never recover from due to EA’s refusal to change engine

2006 – John Madden, original creator and namesake of Madden, is pushed out/steps down as a creative force behind Madden games.

2006 – Popularity of online play causes EA to tweak game in accordance to its online community cheesers rather then real NFL football as had previously been the case for a decade. Despite publicly deriding and criticizing cheap online play, EA goes on to market toward these same players, even producing a TV series around them called “Madden Nation”.

2007 – NFL becomes more hands on and touchy with overseeing aspects of game – No tattoos, less violent hits, less fun celebrations, other uniform related issues

2007-2008- Two of the worst editions in the series history receive top reviews and awards from various gaming publications, no doubt creating a sense of complacency within EA Sports. These near perfect ratings also may have caused an incentive for the NFL to renew the exclusivity license even further, which they did until 2012.

2008-2009 – After nearly 5 years of Madden only football gaming, the bar becomes greatly lowered, and an enormously flawed Madden 09 gets a positive reception. 9’s and 10’s mysteriously fly around for a game that has little to no concept of weight detection, broken sliders, noticeable player abilities or tendencies, and freezing bugs, among other issues. Where we see the birth of the terms “Robo QB”, “Suction Blocking” and Phonebooth Tackling” to describe soley Next Gen Madden’s issues.
