Madden 09 hasn’t even shipped and we’re already getting details on what’s being added for the 2010 release of EA’s flagship sports franchise. According to Ripten, next year we’ll get both on field refs and the chain gang on the sidelines in Madden.

I guess they ran out of time with the 09 version with all the major additions and changes. I’m still on the fence about picking it up, given how much I didn’t like Madden 08. Too many fumbles and INTs for me. Hopefully that’s changed this year, but I’m not so sure. We’ll see once they release a demo.
