Michael Vick making a comeback in Madden NFL 10?

Just hours after the launch of Madden NFL 10 (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, PC, PS2) last week, Michael Vick was signed to a two-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. EA Sports is now working on rushing the Vick addition into the game to mark the NFL star’s comeback into the game.

Just hours after the launch of Madden NFL 10 (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, PC, PS2 last week, Michael Vick was signed to a two-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. EA Sports is now working on rushing the Vick addition into the game to mark the NFL star’s comeback into the game.

EA Sports spokesperson Rob Semsey told Kotaku:

We are currently working with the NFL and NFLPA on approvals and details regarding the addition of Michael Vick to the Philadelphia Eagles roster in Madden NFL 10. We are hopeful to make an announcement in the near future.

Semsey also added later that Michael Vick will be added to the next roster update for the game, provided of course that the NFL and the NFL Players Association approves, in light of his ineligibility issues. Vick remains ineligible until Week 6 of the NFL Season and pending NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s decision to reinstate the former Falcons QB.

The roster update is coming August 19th, 2009, for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, so we can expect an announcement very soon if Vick will make that deadline. Other platforms will be making their respective updates later.
