What do you do to improve on a best selling franchice? Over the years Madden NFL has added fans in the seats, realistic eye tracking, sweat, wrap-around tackles and weather.

And every year players buy the game expecting a little a bit more.

This year the title's developers add something that has been missing for years: End zone celebrations.

Despite efforts on the part of the NFL to turn the touchdown into a church visit, players have always managed to sneak in a little in-your-face celebrating. Now, you can do what they do in the game in your game.

Leaping into the stands, busting out a few dance steps or just flipping the ball to the fans like a pro, the on-screen revelry can now rival your living boogie with the potato chip bowl when you punch another score over the goal line.
