The downloadable only title Madden Arcade now has an official release date. It will be out on Tuesday November 24th on PSN and Wednesday November 25th on XBLA. It had been originally planned to make its way out in December. Madden Arcade will go for 1200 MS points for the 360 and the equivalent $15 for the PS3.
EA Sports has shifted their arcade titles to this method of downloadable only delivery, providing compact offerings at much more reasonable prices than would’ve been found at retail. 3 on 3 NHL Arcade was the first attempt at it and by all accounts it was a nice success.
Catch Your Opponent Off-Guard with
Game Changers featured in Madden NFL Arcade.
Madden NFL Arcade delivers an all new 5-on-5 gridiron experience, complete with 13 action-packed Game Changers. Each player will have the chance to receive a Game Changer before every play. They can choose to use their awarded Game Changer immediately or save it for a crucial play. Either way, every Game Changer has the ability to impact a play and change the course of the game.
Freeze a single player on your opponent’s team, confuse the defense by passing 3 footballs instead of 1, or pick up the pace of the play with lightning speed. Game Changers ensure that no 2 plays are the same in Madden NFL Arcade!
