Perfect, I love NHL arcade, I bought NFL 09, could not deal with all the faffing and fucking plays and options and shit (British, don't understand amurkin football, just like the smashing into people and pass game) so this will be spot on for me!
Day one sale - when it comes to Europe.

Id rather pay that than full price for a version I wouldnt fully 'get'. Also, powerups in sports games sounds fun. Very tempted by this.
NFL Blitz = Fail...
NFL Xtreme = WIN.. I am gonna hope its more like Xtreme, with the graphics shown I have a good feeling.

NFL Xtreme would have had to have 1 year more of development time, just to bring it up to mediocre standards. A terrible football game. Blitz all the way.

@theswitcher - Ahh.. there you go trying to refute my opinion.. After playing/owning them both my opinion is set. The herd rankings that you have there are based on comparing Xtreme to Blitz.. football game to arcade football game... not the same hardware or software capabilities.
Where Blitz was crazy cartoony and made for the Arcade [arcade game with a splash of football] and all the twitch junkies, Xtreme was actually made for a 5v5 game [similar to other football games of the time just less players] and played like a football game in the yard.
ps. don't throw herd rankings at me that make no point, especially when you follow it up by saying Blitz was a football game. Xtreme was a Football game Blitz is and always will be an Arcade game.

Doesn't change the fact what they really were; you threw a ball, tried to gain yardage, and score points. Blitz was fun and competent in doing that. NFL Xtreme was not. Nevermind the fact that 989 Studios was one of the biggest joke studios of all time. Not counting all the series they plunged into darkness, Twisted Metal, Jet Moto...etc. This is a sad day that I've actually met someone that is defending one of their products.
Jet Moto / Twisted Metal.. those were nice.. but like you say the series did go to crap, apparently when 989 got ahold of them, point for you. If you couldn't make yardage in Xtreme than something was wrong.. a typical game score would be 75(me)-10(ps) like I said the AI was a bit of a joke but I had fun in it.
Oh and throwing the ball that is covered in flames [that stretch 10 yards back] 200 yards [straight up into the air] to a receiver 40 yards down field [that can jump 100 yards into the air while doing a triple salchow] at 10x speed is not football my friend. I didn't enjoy it then or now.
Regretfully it seems like this Madden NFL is going the Blitz route what with "game changers" like "Freeze the player." Completely realistic events... I am hoping its going to be a mashup of the two styles [ie. playbook of Blitz|speed&style of Xtreme] with a good overhaul of both to bring them up to the expectations of today and some sort of limit to the "game changers."

btw you do realize that 989 is the studio responsible for Syphon Filter.. at least they were capable of producing a few more than adequate games..
But then again you probably would scoff at that because its 989 and they did mess a few games up. Must be lonely only liking games from companies that never produce a bad egg... or is it that 989 is/was a sony developer..

Jesus, this gen is truly lost, this is the same crap wii owners were fed this year and every single person bashed it, now the PS360 is about to recieve the SAME SHIT and it is good, even the graphics have "good vibes"
No thanks, not supporting Madden. Jesus, they dont make enough fucking money off this game already that now they are throwing out mid-year versions of it too?
Fuck that, Blitz: The League FTW!
