My money remains firmly on Artose Pinner.

New feature for the right analog stick. The faster you shake it, the angrier the player becomes, and the harder he hits. But if you shake it too much, he goes berserk and pops an artery in his brain.

EA and their "innovations".... Making it a new game entirely in their eyes, justifying the $50 price tag, and it so happens that EA is the only game with the NFL license.

It won't be Ocho Cinco, he was featured on the cover of Madden's sister game, also made by EA Sports (Big) NFL Street 3, which released not to long ago, So I can't see Madden putting him on the cover because they would be sending a message about their game in relation to Street that they probably don't want.

The Colston remark made me lol.

Well, if not, I'll go with Julius Peppers then.

LT is so good he will overcome the Madden Curse

I said the same thing about Ray Lewis a couple years back...

Yeah but this time the Amazing Oopah said it, duh.

Either LT or LJ guaranteed. It doesn't matter which new feature is implemented, one of these studs will be displayed proudly.

The old Maddens used to have Historic Teams... I wish the new maddens would let you play:

1) any roster of any season for your favorate team
2) All time best players for a given team (e.g. Eagles of All time)

And have actual names... I think they didn't have the rights in the past to used retired player names.

The EA NCAA franchise operates similar features. Obviously they have just player's numbers as do the current teams. No matter, there's no question as to who #34 is on the '80 Georgia Dawgs
