By now, most loyal Maddenites have settled down from midnight madness on August 13th into a comfortable routine with the latest edition to the revered series, Madden NFL 2010. You’ve chosen your team(s), are working to perfect your plays, calculating stats, and handing the AI or some poor sap online their asses. And hopefully, your making some highlight reel-worthy plays while you’re at it.
But just when you thought Madden couldn’t get any sweeter, the boys at Electronic Arts pull out a few surprise blitzes to shake up your gaming equilibrium. With the return of infamous quarterback Michael Vick, EA decided that it’s no fun if the players can’t get none, and made the wise and awesome call of adding them to the 2o10 Eagles’ roster via downloadable content on August 19th.
To keep the theme of authenticity going, Vick’s stats have been updated to reflect his two-year incarceration due his involvement in an illegal dog-fighting operation. His overall stats in the game have dropped from a 90 to a 73. His speed and agility are still great — a blistering 9o and 94 respectively, but his accuracy has taken a significant hit with a throw accuracy of 69, a short accuracy of 70, a mid accuracy of 74, and a deep accuracy of 69 – all down from 2008’s rating of 78. The stats will most likely be adjusted to reflect Vick’s performance with the Eagles this season, so it’ll definitely be something to keep an eye on.
In other Madden news, former Giants Wide Receiver, Plaxico Burress has been removed from the Madden free agent roster. Burress was recently sentenced to a two-year stint in prison following a shooting incident where the player shot himself in the leg. He was removed from the roster to include an as of yet specified player.
It’s going to be an interesting season. online and offline.
