Michael Vick To Be Included In Madden 10 Roster Update

Added 08/17/2009 by Se

So if you're a football fan and can't live without your pixelated grid iron fix, chances are you've already got a copy of Madden 10? You may have also heard the biggest news surrounding the NFL this week, with former Atlanta quarter back and Madden cover boy Michael Vick being signed to a one year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

 

Being that EA like to try and keep things really, real they said they will be updating the games roster to include Vick in the game and on the Eagles roster. There was once a time, circa Madden 2004 when Vick was an unstoppableannoying force in the game. You could use Vick to exploit one of the biggest glitches in the franchise, by running backwards and then throwing the ball for a big gain, just like Tecmo Bowl on the NES. Times changed and EA has since worked out that little exploit.

 

Vick's in-game ratings have been released and are as follows in comparison to when he was last available in the game:
