Originally slated for December, EA Tiburon's downloadable five-on-five football game Madden NFL Arcade has now been bumped up to a Thanksgiving week release. The powered-up race to 30 points will hit PlayStation 3 on Tuesday, November 24--the PlayStation Store is updating early that week due to the holiday--while the Xbox 360 edition is due Wednesday, November 25. Both will sell for $15 (1200 MS Points).

EA has released further details and screenshots for Madden NFL Arcade, the 5v5 Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network football title it casually announced in August.

"Each team is given four downs to march 60 yards to pay dirt - no penalties or field goals allowed here, pal! Get your Madden NFL fix in a completely new way, with fast-paced games where the first team to 30 wins," explains EA, utterly baffling non-football fans.

Local co-op with up to four players is on offer, as well as online play with leaderboards. 13 power-ups bring the opportunity to "add an entourage of lineman to get the sack, freeze an opposing player, turn off your opponent's passing icons, and much more."

Coming from NCAA Football developer EA Tiburon, Madden NFL Arcade is scheduled for a downloadable December release at the price of $15 (1200 Microsoft Points).
