EA announced today that the next installment in the popular and long running Madden NFL franchise is coming on August 14th. EA promises that the new title will usher in a new era with advancements that make it as realistic as what fans see on Sunday TV minus the grass stains.

Madden NFL 10 gives players more control over the play allowing them to push defenders towards the first down marker, fight for a fumble at the bottom of a pile, or avoid a rush by stepping into the pocket.

New animation technology allows players to fight for every yard. The game will be made available on the Wii as well with a version designed just for the Wii console. The game will have a special draft event on April 25th with live call ins from players and more.
