Are you tired of meeting face-to-face with your fantasy football league-mates, especially after that one dude totally dicked you over with that Marques Colston trade a couple of years back (Tight End our ass)? Then EA Sports has something for you. Starting with this year’s incarnation of Madden, you’re going to be able to do all your league business—from drafting to trading to writing angry bulletin board screeds—right from your Xbox 360 or PS3 without having to leave your home. And isn’t that what having friends is all about?

Gamers will be able to download a Fantasy Football Live Draft Tracker to the 360 or PS3 which will give them the ability to view video clips and hear EA expert commentary. The Live Score Tracker, another download, will track fantasy football scores, delivering them either in full screen mode with rosters and details or a more compact picture-in-picture mode.

Until they have the picture-in-picture mode where your opponent for the week is shown, screaming as he loses to you by a last second field goal, we’ll stick with Yahoo! and StatTracker thank you very much.
