Community Playdate: EA SPORTS
Published January 27, 2009
We all know what happens February 1. Oh sure, there's some kind of professional football game going on, but it's really the Game Before the Big Game that matters. That's when members of the EA SPORTS Community Team will play Xbox LIVE® Gold members in our Community Playdate in Madden™ NFL 09.

Score a touchdown in the Game Before the Big Game.
That's right, just before the Big Game starts, the people who bring you all of that great EA SPORTS World content will be online Sunday, February 1 from 2:00 – 4:00 P.M. ET (11:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M. PT) playing Madden NFL 09. If you're a Gold member (if not, upgrade now!), look out for these Gamertags:
