EA Sports Goes Retro with Madden NFL 10 Downloadable Content

September 10, 2009

The NFL is celebrating this season. It marks the 50th season for the eight original American Football League (AFL) teams, and EA Sports is commemorating the celebration by going retro with new downloadable content.

Available on September 24th, the comprehensive add-on brings the heritage of the AFL to Madden NFL 10 with all-new 1960’s-style presentation elements. Referees don the orange striped AFL uniforms, official AFL markings and logos decorate the field. The game also utilizes a retro football card-like user interface and classic film grain broadcast cameras.

The eight original AFL teams will be represented by name and wear their historic uniforms, including the Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs (as the Dallas Texans), New England Patriots (as the Boston Patriots), New York Jets (as the Titans of New York), Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers and Tennessee Titans (as the Houston Oilers).

The 15 AFL Legacy Game matchups during the 2009 NFL regular season will include the Legacy Pack presentation in the offline Franchise mode, as well as during the Play Now, and Superstar modes. Historic AFL uniforms can be selected in any mode – offline or online. Check out the full list of content below:
