Madden Arcade Coming This Winter

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

http://intensedebate.com/people/Mo_Diddley Mo_Diddley

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!
