From 1UP.com

On a recent episode of Listen Up, the crew speculated that the massive sales for Battlefield 1943 would serve as a green light to EA for digital distribution -- especially for their yearly-iterated sports franchises. We may be seeing the seeds of that starting now, as Gamespot reports that EA Sports will be releasing Madden Arcade this fall. "Earlier this year, we took the award-winning NHL game energy and developed [NHL] 3 on 3 Arcade," said Peter Moore in a conference call. "It was simple to pick up and play at launch as a fully downloadable game. We will follow this approach with Madden Arcade later this year."
From the sounds of it, Madden Arcade will be a slightly stripped down version of the main game. Moore didn't mention platforms for the game, but given the distribution model Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 seem likely. The most compelling remaining question, though, is price. The gaming community has been vocal in the past about purchasing a new $60 Madden title every year, so Madden Arcade could be an opportunity to give players a price break and even a discount on next year's iteration. Given the name recognition, this could even sell higher than Battlefield 1943 -- if the price is right.

What are your thoughts on this?

It all depends on how the game plays.

If they try and make it their "EA Sim" type game then what's the point? If it plays more like a fast paced NFL blitz type game, then that'll be cool since there's a market for that.

Introducing an all-new way to experience the Madden NFL franchise with Madden NFL Arcade - a fun, pick-up-and-play, 5-on-5 football game from EA Tiburon. Madden NFL Arcade is pure adrenaline football for both casual and diehard NFL fans, featuring a unique art style that brings your favorite players to life like never before! Madden NFL Arcade will be available as a download on Xbox LIVE Arcade and the PlayStation Store for 1200 MS Points and $14.99 respectively, just in time for the holidays in December.

"When you look around the office and see your whole team playing and having tons of fun with it, you know the game hit the right mark," said marketing director Nathan Stewart. "We have diehard Madden fans who have worked on the franchise for a decade, and more casual gamers who are all playing together and enjoying it. If our productivity the past few weeks is any indication, we've created a game that everyone will love."

Choose one of your favorite 32 NFL teams and distinctive home stadium for a battle with the best five players on each side of the ball, and let the excitement begin! Each team is given four downs to march 60 yards to pay dirt - no penalties or field goals allowed here, pal! Get your Madden NFL fix in a completely new way, with fast-paced games where the first team to 30 wins. Want to mix it up? Madden NFL Arcade can be tailored to fit your liking by changing options, such as skill level, points to win, and more; making each game unlike the one before. Take advantage of 13 unique "Game Changers" to break the game wide open on a single play. Add an entourage of lineman to get the sack, freeze an opposing player, turn off your opponent's passing icons, and much more. No lead is safe in Madden NFL Arcade.

Madden NFL Arcade is the perfect video game for gameday, allowing up to four players to play co-op on a single console. You can also take on the world online in head-to-head matches and track your performance via interactive leaderboards. If you like to commemorate your gridiron success, Madden NFL Arcade will also provide a host of achievements and trophies to boost your gamer score.
