Electronic Arts announced that for the first time in the 21-year history of the franchise, two athletes will grace the cover of Madden NFL 10.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu will share the cover of Madden NFL 10, set to hit retail shelves in August.
Larry Fitzgerald will be the second athlete to have been featured on both the Madden NFL cover and NCAA Football cover (NCAA Football 2005), the first being Shaun Alexander. The three-time Pro Bowl selection and 2009 Pro Bowl MVP reached career highs in reception yards (1,431) and touchdowns (12) in 2008, and set NFL post season records for yards (546), receptions (30), and TDs (7), as he led the Arizona Cardinals to Super Bowl XLIII.
Troy Polamalu is a 2-time Super Bowl Champion and one of the most recognizable players in the NFL today. Anchoring the Steelers’ defense, Polamalu shares the NFL record for most sacks (3) in a single game by a safety. Polamalu also recorded seven interceptions and 73 total tackles during the Steelers Super Bowl XLIII championship season.
Madden NFL 10 will be available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PLAYSTATION 3, Wii and PSP.
