Madden Arcade Coming This Winter
by 
The success of the downloadable 3 on 3 NHL Arcade led to speculation that other “arcade” titles would end up going the same route. That being simplified, compact, downloadable only offerings centered on fun factor at a lower price point. NHL Arcade sold for a reasonable $10 through PSN and XBLM and most found that it ultimately provided good value. With the end of the NBA and NFL Street (and NFL Tour) those two sports are primed for arcade offerings.
It appears that the first one to come with be for football. Earlier today Peter Moore announced that “Madden Arcade” is in development and targeted for a holiday release. This could be really successful considering that time of the year (December and January) are generally dry spells for sports gaming. I would anticipate a game carrying the Madden name to maybe come in at $20, but if they were able to stick at the same $10 as NHL that would be fantastic.
Potentially how interested will you be in a downloadable arcade style NFL game? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

GREAT IDEA!!!
August 4, 2009 at 10:42 pm
When I get some details, screens, and vids, I'll look at it.
August 4, 2009 at 11:33 pm
You're just like Mo Diddley. We both need EVIDENCE 1st. Give us some screens and knock the price down to $5.99. Mo Diddley won't buy it but others might and it's my duty to speak for the people!
Mo Diddley the voice of the people!
August 4, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Other than that, not interested at the moment. Especially since I'll be playing Madden during the holiidays.
August 4, 2009 at 10:44 pm
Not personally interested in madden arcade game. thanks
August 4, 2009 at 10:46 pm
Hate arcade style sports titles. Usually equals a dumbed down, pointless representation of the sport. and ultimatelty it's just another way for them to make money off the license. Mo, money, mo money, mo money.
August 4, 2009 at 11:36 pm
Mo money, mp money, mo money, Mo Diddley, Mo Diddley, Mo Diddley!
I feel you man it does seem like a quick way to generate money. I mean when you look at NHL 3 on 3 it's about as basic a setup as they could possible do.
Mo Diddley the voice of the people!
August 5, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Too funny. I actually almost typed "And I don't mean Mo Diddley" in my original post. Somehow I knew you would reply either way.
Peace
August 4, 2009 at 11:09 pm
I'd definitely get it and while I'll still be playing Madden 10 when this comes out, it'll be perfect for times when I don't have a lot of time for a full game of Madden 10.
August 4, 2009 at 11:29 pm
When Mo Diddley don't have time for a quick game of Madden Mo Diddley does 3 sets of 10 with 375 lbs
Mo Diddley has spoken!
August 4, 2009 at 11:20 pm
I did not like NHL arcade to much but, I for sure will DL the demo for this, and try it out might be cool.
August 4, 2009 at 11:21 pm
I did not like NHL arcade to much but, I for sure will DL the demo for this, and try it out might be cool. Could be a nice pick up and play game.
August 4, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Why didn't you like the NHL 3 on 3?
Mo Diddley the inquisitive mind!
August 5, 2009 at 12:50 am
I just didn't was not fun to me, I liked NHL 09 a lot. How many little comments do you have to make? Damn I see you on like every comment.
August 4, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Mo Diddley doesn't do arcade cuz Mo Diddley is too busy keeping it real. If it ain't 11 on 11 Mo Diddley's game system won't play it.
Mo Diddley the voice of reason!
August 5, 2009 at 5:18 am
Mo Diddley doesn't do arcade because he is too busy right now giving 1 guy head and 2 handjobs.
Mo Diddley the voice of reason!
August 4, 2009 at 11:26 pm
No thanks. Regular Madden is unrealistic enough for me
August 4, 2009 at 11:54 pm
hmmmm. Mo Diddley better not see you camping outside Gamestop with some Twinkies on August 13th at 11pm!
Mo Diddley the bluff caller outer!
August 5, 2009 at 1:31 am
GO JACK OFF TO UR ESPN 2K5 THEN LMAO
August 5, 2009 at 9:21 am
LOL GOOD 1!! LMAO!!!!
August 4, 2009 at 11:36 pm
Does anybody remember when Madden use to have an ARCADE MODE within the game? Mo Diddley remembers and it just goes to show you how EA is generating more money for the coffers. I can't knock it but EA at least if you do release it knock down the price to $5.99
Mo Diddley the voice of the people!
August 4, 2009 at 11:39 pm
NFL Tour was a snooze fest. If they do this arcade style, they need to add mini-games like they had in the pro bowl skills competition. What happened to that anyway? Tell me mo
August 4, 2009 at 11:50 pm
The NFL skills competition was cancelled after 2007 in part from lack of support both from networks and fans plus they were not able to secure the field that was normally used.
Mo Diddley the factual expert!
August 4, 2009 at 11:44 pm
Madden arcade is coming August 14th 2009, its also known as Madden 10.
August 4, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Why would people buy Madden arcade when you already have Madden 06, 07, 08, 09 and possibly 10 to play a non-sim experience.
August 5, 2009 at 1:24 am
o shut tha fuck up madden is the shit
August 4, 2009 at 11:54 pm
ARCADE FOOTBALL NO
but an ARCADE B-BALL GM SIMIlAR 2 NBA STREET YEA i liked dat SH……
August 5, 2009 at 12:43 am
We already have an arcade football game and its called "Blitz".____What will this version offer? Do we really need it? and will anyone really want it. If your playing madden then what is this game for. Even the NHL 3 on 3 grew tiresome after 1 day.
August 5, 2009 at 12:51 am
I have very little interest. My interest in "arcade football" died when I bought "Kurt Warner's Arena Football Unleashed".
RIP Arena Football League
August 5, 2009 at 1:00 am
id have to see some screens and videos before putting money into a potentially watered down nfl street
MO DIDDLEY NEEDS TO STFU!!!!!
August 5, 2009 at 1:39 am
or get a job lmao
August 5, 2009 at 2:08 am
That's kind of what I thought too. Seemed like a cheaper Street
August 5, 2009 at 2:15 am
2k gets hat when they try to sell something extra Madden get praises Crazy fanboys respect competition.
August 5, 2009 at 2:16 am

August 5, 2009 at 3:32 am
This one will probably 7 on 7 like in NFL tour. Anyways, i might get it since i actually enjoyed playing Tour.
August 5, 2009 at 3:40 am

August 5, 2009 at 4:16 am
$10 and i'll think about it. $15-20 I probably won't consider it.
August 5, 2009 at 5:37 am
I hate Arcade style games. They are so unrealistic. I only play the real stuff. The last arcade style game I played was NBA Jams.
August 5, 2009 at 5:54 am
I like my football games as realistic as possible, so no Madden arcade. I couldn't even stand playing blitz or any other arcade sports title.
August 5, 2009 at 5:59 am
NFl Tour Had Potential though, Madden Arcade might just be some bad short arcade game that doesnt offer much that might not even be worth it, they should of just worked on a Sick next Gen NFL Street 4
August 5, 2009 at 6:00 am
Vick to the Pack? Anyones thoughts?
August 5, 2009 at 7:53 am
Give us a true sequel to NFL Street the last game wasn't that bad. It was only on the ps2 though I would like to see them try an nfl street type game instead of that tour garbage.
August 5, 2009 at 9:19 am
How in the hell can EA sports make a football game any more arcade then how Madden 10 already is?
August 5, 2009 at 6:45 pm
CAN U PLEASE SHUT THA FUCK UP MADDEN IS A GOOD GAME WAT ELSE ARE U GONNA PLAY THEN
August 5, 2009 at 9:21 am
This is just the opposite of what we need.
August 5, 2009 at 2:54 am
The hell with all that ..if anybody setting up a madden online franchise ..HIT ME
Fas carl the truth
August 5, 2009 at 11:15 am

August 5, 2009 at 2:16 pm

August 5, 2009 at 9:26 pm

August 5, 2009 at 9:44 pm
I think it sounds pretty sweet. I would like to see EA release the Genesis classics of Madden, NBA Live, Coach K and NHL on PSN and XBLA….
August 5, 2009 at 9:47 pm
I think it sounds pretty sweet. Everyone was skeptical of NHL 3-on-3 and that game turned out to be damn fun. I would like to see EA release the Genesis classics of Madden, NBA Live, Coach K and NHL on PSN and XBLA….
August 8, 2009 at 8:40 am
