The release date for Madden NFL Arcade, the five-on-five NBA Jam-style game with wild powerups and a 60-yard field, has been moved up by Electronic Arts.

Originally slated for a December 2009 release, the downloadable title is now coming to PlayStation Network November 24, 2009 and Xbox Live November 25, 2009.  It will set you back $14.99 on PSN or 1200 Microsoft Points on XBLA.

This concept actually started as a mini-game on the Nintendo Wii version of Madden. Its new incarnation will add the procedural tackling animations seen in the 360 and PS3 versions of the best selling football simulation.

The timing is understandable as football, video games and a few days off work or school make the Thanksgiving week a perfect chance to try this one.

I’ve always loved the NFL Street series so Madden NFL Arcade looks like a fun, uncomplicated football diversion.
