Madden 10 for iPhone!!!!!

I'm really interested in the "companion" app for Madden. Any idea when it will be available?
hopefully it drops this week. the season starts on 9/10. this reminds me of the infamous late summer mms deadline. just because ea said that it will be out before the season starts, doesnt mean they have to wait until 9/10.
Because it's not out yet?
they said today it would be made available. do they really need an extra few hrs?
I just purchased this game about 30 minutes ago. So still getting used to the gameplay.
Having now played both Gameloft (not that Gameloft's NFL is bad; it's actually a pretty good game) but Madden 10 for iphone appears to be a better game. I'd rate Madden 10 as a 8.5 and Gameloft as a 7
Seems to have more plays. It's madden so most of us are familiar with the style although its on the touch screen. I think I hear John Madden on the commentary with Madden.
Madden is an easy game to play.
Not sure what the pricing strategy will be. But it's $7.99 till Thursday (Season Kickoff). But I assume EA will raise it to 9.99 for a few weeks and in week 4-5 EA will drop the price down to 6.99 like they have their other games.

Five games in, here's why this is better then Gameloft's try...
-It's built around a running game.
-The passing game is hard(as it should be).
-Trading players(even though you can trade anyone for anyone) Be fair
-Depth chart adjustments
-It actually uses real football rules. Pass Interference, ball stoppage, etc...
-Deeper controls.
-Opponents actually adjust to you. Unlike the other, you can't keep running the same play over and over.
-Playing defense is actually challenging. Interceptions, sacks, etc don't happen as often.
-After I won the Super Bowl with Gameloft, the game just ends. Lame. We'll see if this does, which I doubt.
I havn't finished a season, so we'll see about a draft and offseason stuff. Enjoy it!

Here's my .02, and with a disclaimer: I'm a passionate EASports/Madden HATER. I haven't bought an NFL game other than AP2K8 since NFL 2k5. I play it each year so I can say I did, and go back to my updated rosters on my 360 and my 2k10 season. That being said.. .
The mobile version doesn't play like the console versions, and that's GREAT. I like how the passing game isn't a gimme. The CPU does adapt pretty realistically, so far as I play thru. Graphics better than 2010.
Here's all you need to know, and why you go buy this now: You take a pass play, you hit the Hot Route button, and you DRAW your receiver's new route, like on a telestrator or chalk/whiteboard. And it work's effin' AWESOME.
That is all.

Just finished a season. I played the Super Bowl, and just like NFL 2010, it ends. No season to season continuation, which completely sucks.
This is a really good first effort. I just finished a whole season and the computer even managed to beat me once 8-10 arghh and there were a couple of nail biters...
It isn't EAs best game (Tiger Woods is) but it seems really nice. The only thing I noticed was it doesn't seem to have a play clock so I could take my sweet time picking plays... Also, I wish they would do away with the fixed d-pad and just let me steer my runner from anywhere on the screen like Space Invaders Infinity Gene lets you do...
