EA Invites Joe Montana To Talk Madden
I don't know much anything about football, but I recognized the name Joe Montana when EA called him out during their E3 press conference.
EA took their regularly allotted time to talk about the yearly Madden installment, Madden 11, which will apparently have simpler play calling, 3 vs. 3 online play, and a new "game flow" system that allows you to alter plays in real time.
All of that is fine and probably meaningful to people who play football games, but the real surprise of the show was when they brought out Joe Montana, a fellow who I understand is quite well-respected in the sport.
According to Montana's discussion on stage, the game flow system is a lot like real play-calling during an actual game of football. It's almost like playing Madden makes you a real Hall of Famer! Almost.
If you care about the actual game, check out our new in-depth preview of Madden 11 (written by Matt Bertz, who definitely actually knows about this stuff).
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.
