After the exciting cliffhanger conclusion to Madden NFL 09, rabid football fans are undoubtedly looking forward to see what happens to the Madden cast this season. EA announced today when Madden NFL 10 begins.

On August 14th, 2009, the epic tale of John Madden and National Football League licensed sports sims continues, with all new features, new professional football players, and more realistic looking hand towels. We can't wait to see what happens in Madden NFL 10, not to mention how many times EA will use the "Fight For Every Yard" marketing tagline.

We'll get a sneak peek at the game's cover athlete on April 24th, if that's the sort of thing that you still get excited about.
