http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/19766/Madden-NFL-10-Gets-Online-Coop-Play/ while it'll prolly be a thrown on piece of junk in year(and possibly year 2) this could be fun. I enjoy playing with my friends working towards the wins. They need to make this a online franchise feature so that a team of guys could be on a team. Not sure if i'm grabbing this years madden but this definitely grabs my attention
This could be an upsell for me. Traditionally I buy Madden but I do not play online - because I feel I will be embarrassed. So I can't get better. This might be a good introduction to the novice guy if I had a more experienced guy to help me.
