Madden 2010 confirmed for iPhone, probably requires more thumbs than you have

Yes, we know Madden's nothing new on phones, but we had to highlight Madden 2010 for iPhone -- which EA just confirmed today will be ready in time for the start of the NFL season -- because it looks really damn good. Console quality, even. That's great and all, but Madden's the kind of franchise that really needs quick reflexes and a whole lot of buttons positioned conveniently around the entirety of a console-ready controller to control with any precision, and buttons are something the iPhone distinctly lacks. So yes, we get it, the iPhone's capable of some stellar graphics -- but the real question is whether you'll be able to play through four quarters without punting it into the opposition's territory.

LOL @ M.Vick

Look for the mini game with dog fighting, you will love it!

Seriously, whose bright idea was it to release a press shot with Vick? Forget about how you feel about him, he's not even a starting quarterback!

This screenshot shows a lot of potential - I will try this out for sure if they have a demo -

It looks very similar to the PSP version, but with grainer graphics and the aforementioned control issues.

[BearCobra Posted Aug 24th 2009 9:29PM]

It's a port of the DS version.

You would think that with all these people touting the iPhone/iPod Touch's graphical prowess that EA should be able to improve the game graphically (to be at least to be on par with the PSP).

Improve the graphics? Waaayyyyyy too much work...

Perfect example of how not to market your game. Vick = FAIL.

I really could care less, but the general consensus is that Vick.... is not popular.

Vick! Nicee

My biggest concern with Madden for the iphone is the controls. They would really have to simplify the game. If can be tough enough to control some games on the iphone, so it will be interesting to see what they can keep up with to make the game fun instead of frustrating
