Keeps the faith with PSP though

EA kicks DS version of Madden NFL into touch

DS + PSP
| Madden NFL 10

With 20 years continuous service, there's no surprise that mid-August will see another Madden NFL game released by EA - Madden NFL 10 will be out on Friday, August 14th in North America.

What is significant however is that alongside PS3, X360, Wii, PC and PS2 version, there will be a PSP release; as indeed there was last year, although we didn't think much of it.

Paradoxically, we didn't much enjoy the DS version either, but in 2010, the platform has been dropped from EA's lineup.

Feel free to make any fanboy flame-out comments below...

New features for the game include “online innovation”, “an immersive broadcast presentation”, and “an all-new animation technology”.

As for the timeline to the game's launch, EA is promising to pull out all the stops with a rolling unveil of the Madden NFL 10 cover star on Friday, April 24th, which will be followed the day after by the Madden NFL 10 Draft Experience. Hosted online at maddennfl.easports.com, it will feature live, streaming analysis of the NFL draft process as it happens.
