Top 10 Rejected 2010 Madden Modes

In honor of Madden Day, here are this year's modes that were considered, but just didn't quite make it into the final version. Maybe next year...

10) Concussion Mode, where your controller doesn't work for weeks on end as a precaution against future damage

9) Running Back By Committee Mode, where you can't use your best running back more than half of the time

8) Super Curse Mode, where you get a working and customizable voodoo doll for any player's career you want to ruin

7) 3-D Cheerleader Mode, rejected due to undue concern over Red State boycott

6) Arbitration Mode, where you get to argue against paying full freight for players

5) Scheduling Mode, with extra bonus points for squeezing the best foreign market with the worst possible game

4) Sports Talk Radio Mode, where all of your moves get eviscerated by morons

3) Rumor Mode, in which your best players appear on Deadspin and lose all focus

2) Stadium Blackmail Mode, where you hold your city hostage for a new venue that will only be used for, at most, a dozen out of 365 days a year, despite not needing the money

1) Telecast Mode, where the goal is to see how many braying jackasses you can shove into a studio at one time
