Hey guys, Yuri B. here welcoming you to our first designer blog entry for Madden NFL 10 on the Wii.  For those of you who aren't regulars on the EA forums and don't know me, I'm one of the designers working on this year's version of the game.   As is typically the case with these blogs, we'll be covering a wide range of features that are new to this year's version of your favorite football game on the Wii.  In this particular blog however, I'll be revealing a lot of the new ways in which you'll be interacting with the game when you're out on the field.

You know, it's crazy to look back and see how incredibly different this game has turned out to be in comparison to last year.  If you've been following the progress of this game (or even casually browsed a gaming site in the last month), you already know that this year's version of Madden on the Wii has a whole new look and feel, starting first and foremost with our new player models and stadiums.  They've been getting the bulk of the spotlight recently, and rightfully so, but by far the next biggest impact this year will be some of the great innovations we've made with the addition of the pointer, both as part of the interface and on the field.  I think you'll find that it's opened the door for a number of exciting new features that once again change your Madden experience on the Wii for the better.
