Apparently this will be a new way of playing the game. They are saying it will not be a port of the Madden games on other consoles.
There's an interview at the end of the article...

EA Canada QB details popular pigskin franchise's debut for Nintendo's new console; with new controller, popular football series won't be just about pushing buttons. Exec says EA Rev games won't be straight ports.

Electronic Arts hasn't unveiled its full lineup of games for next month's Electronic Entertainment Expo yet, but one title that the publisher has confirmed that will make its debut at the show in playable demo form is the debut of it flagship franchise on a new console. The ever-popular Madden franchise gets the call for Nintendo's next-gen console, and is tentatively titled Madden Revolution. It's important to note that the game isn't simply titled Madden NFL 2007 for the Revolution--that's because no gamer has seen a Madden quite like this one.
For the first time in years, development on a major console version of EA's marquee franchise football series is being taken outside the doors of the company's Orlando, Florida-based EA Tiburon studio. The game is instead being handled north of the border, by a special Revolution-focused development group within EA's Burnaby, British Columbia studio.
Given that EA has dedicated a specific group to Revolution development, it stands to reason that the game will take advantage of the console's unique capabilities. While many details will have to wait until E3 kicks off, GameSpot was given an advanced scouting report which said that the gameplay will make extensive use of the Revolution controller's motion-sensing capabilities.
Players will hike the ball by mimicking a quarterback receiving the ball from the center, and then pass it to a receiver by making a throwing gesture with the free-hand controller. The faster the passing motion, the more of a bullet pass it becomes (in previous Madden editions, bullet passes were made by holding the passing button down longer).
Kicking the ball will be accomplished by sweeping the controller up as if it were a kicker's leg striking the ball. A fast, level swing will make for a hard, straight kick.
The Revolution controller will also come into play when running the ball, as jerking the controller left or right will make the ball-carrier juke to either side, while shoving it straight ahead will make him stiff-arm the opposition. |

This is the stupidest thing I've heard since the Activator. EA is making a mockery of the Rev's controller and now I'm wondering if it is indeed a good thing or just a crap-ass gimmick. If this is the extent then look for it to join the Virtual Boy in 6 months. |

What happened with EA not liking the Rev controller at all? |

It might be useful for them. Imagine their spazstic making the controller moving where the want Mario to go actually working for once. |

We've been talking about games that would really take advantage of the controller on another board for awhile now. So far there are two games we've all decided NEED to be made.
A Star Wars lightsaber duel game. (Blatantly obvious.)
Mario Paint. (That could be the single most creative game ever.)
Some other suggestions were strategy games, fishing games, and adventure games (the point and click variety.) |

I would like to see the Magic Pengel/Graffiti Kingdom series go to the Wii. At least now no one would have the old "How can I draw with a d-pad?" excuse.
As far as EA if they were serious they'd do an NFS game so you could make your own vinyls. |
