OK, let's see how well this works. Have a Madden NFL 10 question? Ask it here. Just one question. If I answer it, you can submit another. If you are not posting a question and your comment brings nothing to the table, it will be deleted.

With that said, fire away. I will hang around until midnight, EST.

Hey STeve does the CPU run on you without slider tweaks?

# 17 MelMan1486 @ Jul 31

Are the Bills new white throwback jerseys in the game?

	# 12 DLaren @ Jul 31 (1 Minute Ago) With the stretched player ratings being implemented this year, do you feel that the players have a greater sense of individualism? Do the stars stand out from the rest? Do the sub-par players feel like a liability? Thanks.

It's wierd. Sometimes, I can definitely tell. Other times, not so much. It's hard to explain. Defensively though, say I'm Ware... I can't make a play to save my life. I can't get a sniff of the QB, so I just play as someone else, so the AI can work him.

Offensively, I'd say you get a better feel for the rating spread.

How is the deep passing game for both CPU and human?

# 20 noda11 @ Jul 31

Is there any field degredation like madden 07 and 08?

	It's nice to see that the teams are playing according to the style of their RL counterparts, but how effective is the CPU's running game?? Are they able to put up some realistic yards against you?? If there is an issue at default, does the sliders correct this??

Just from looking at stats of my current franchise, default All-Pro.

D. Ward 24/70
B. Jacobs 21/128
D. Williams 17/179 - J. Stewart 8/70 (These guys killed me...)
K. Moreno 21/43
L. Johnson 21/89
M. Turner 22/48
J. Jones 21/100
B. Westbrook 15/58

	swiftychampleone @ Jul 31 (8 Minutes Ago) What is your opinion of the pre, half and post game shows in comparison to NFL 2K5?

Well, obviously NFL 2K5 w/ videos included in the shows, it is still on top of my list, in that department. This is the first year for the Extra Point, I can see it being a LOT better next year, w/ the addition of video. That brings so much into the presentation.

	BillsFan1113 @ Jul 31 (16 Minutes Ago) Just straight up, inevitable issues aside, and in your own un-biased opinion....is Madden 10 THE NFL game to own period up to this point?

I'm still a big fan of NFL 2K5, but Madden 10 is really setting the bar w/ this one. Sure there are issues, read my preview, but it is without question, the best Madden to date.

	Logic Doctor @ Jul 31 (17 Minutes Ago) Is Madden really BACK this year or is it just a significant improvement over Madden 09?

It is most definitely back. Teams play like their real life counterparts, Pro-Tak is not a gimmick, teams draft like they should. But like I said, the game has issues, read my preview, but non remotely close to being a game breaker (the popular word these days).

Yes, see the stats just a few posts up. Default All-Pro.

Sorry, they didn't make the cut.

CPU will go deep on you. Mostly in the right spots too, one on one, no safety help. As for yourself, depends on the QB and his accuracy. I've had some nice tosses w/ Manning and Brady, but sometimes Romo is just not throwing far enough or too far. FYI, QB sliders WORK and they work VERY WELL. For example, lowered the AI QB ratings a few hours ago, Brady, 1st half stats. 4/21 42 yards.
