It's no fun getting your ass kicked in Madden. Just because you never watch football, don't have all these different patterns ingrained in your head, and aren't in a frat, doesn't mean that you should be subjected to an hour of trash-talking by someone who barely plays games. I mean, let's see them try and take down even one Colossus.

Ahem.

Anyways, all that has changed, with the game now featuring co-op: having both players on the same team. Now you and your friend can work constructively to try and make it through an entire season, coordinating plays, pointing out dangers, and giving them reassuring pats on the ass.

If you hadn't already read Samit's Madden NFL 10 preview, I suggest you do so. EA Tiburon has added in a hell of a lot, making it a huge improvement over Maddens past. After the jump, you can listen to the team talk about the addition of the co-op mode. It almost makes me want to pick up Madden for myself. Almost.
