well I think the curse of larry fitz will be the cardinals not making playoffs at all. Warner got lucky last year and he wont be as good this year. For the steelers, their luck runs out this year with healthy Brady and NE and better Colts Manning. Plus Steeler plays in crap division. I understand Steelers has good D but last year w/o NE and Indy in full power they really did got lucky.

Maybe you forget how the steelers have beaten BOTH brady Pats and manning colts.
Manning sucks, overrated loser who throws a temper tantrum if he gets sacked and lets his whole drive fall apart after.
and you want to talk about a crap division? the patriots would have more challenge playing a pittsburgh highschool team than their division.

Looks like a SF4 vs. screen. Who will prove the old axiom today?

The first thing I thought was SF IV meets Madden. Maybe that'd be enough to make me play Madden.

I will once again NOT buy this game....my hatred for EA hasn't weakened and I don't see it happening anytime soon...I haven't played a football game in 3 years because of my disappointment with buying the license from the NFL and having no competition, so that basically means they can just regurgitate the same crap every single year and no one can say anything to them because they are a monopoly..fuck madden and FUCK EA! NO offense to you guys of course.

Isn't that just the same style they used for FIFA 08?

So first NCAA, and FUEL, now MADDEN are all copying Street Figher IV's "hand drawn" effects?
Hilarious.
Hilarious.

Did anyone notice the Wild Cat being used.That for me is the biggest take away.And I just hope you can save between quarters .It is tough to play a season when you can not do that.

The only thing worse than the Steelers is their fans. I hate the Cheaters. Cool with Fitz though. Good thing they didnt put my boy Brees on the cover. I dont want him injured.
The Steelers suck and are the biggest cheaters on the planet. I had a boss who was a big fan of the Steelers and he was a fat oaf, just like the team and its fans.

Yes anyone who pounds your team into the dirt must be cheating. You are probably t guy that quits early in COD4 when your team is down.

The Pissburg Cheaters did'nt stomp my team. You may also wanna check to see who was the number one quarterback last year.
If you are a Pissburg fan then Iam sorry. Its a shame though because your team is filled with cheaters and crybabys, you are just lucky to have the NFL on your side.
If you ever wanna test my prowess at any game let me know.
Until then Pissburg is still a team of clowns.

Shocked Madden himself wasn't on the cover. Considering is is retiring from broadcasting after this year.

I'm not sure these two will be affected by "the curse", they're just too good. For anyone who's interested, some good behind the scenes videos etc have been posted over on the Madden 10 site.
