Madden 10 is starting to look like Madden's version of NCAA 09's wide open gameplay. Where is the adaptive AI for good defensive teams? If these two teams are unable to stop the weaker offenses in the game, what will the Patriots or the Cardnals do to them? Prepare for online shoot-outs if this is not fixed. Why does Johnson go from 0-60 in .2 seconds? He needs to take longer to reach his top speed. No one can take two steps and be at top speed. I know that speed kills, but this is a bit extreme. I use to be fast, but even on a good day, it would take me more than a few steps to reach my top speed. I looked at each vid, and I honestly can not see where Pro-Tak just stands out. Am I missing something? I think I seen three man tackles but not the 4,5,6,7,8, and 9 man tackles that they were raving about a few months ago. Please fix it.

Agreed. The game does seem to be on the scoring side. A 39 overall rated Ravens wide out beats the Titans secondary on a big play. The pick 6s, which seem to be in every video so far. I honestly don't want another football game where every score ends up being 35-21.

Big improvements, no question.. But this went from pre-order, to me waiting a week or two to see what issues OS members bring up. I might skip football games altogether this year, and switch to basketball. Madden 2011 should be the game I've been waiting for.

Same here. Usually a few days before release I'm drooling at the mouth. I can't sit still and I'm out there bribing K-Mart employees hoping they'll sell me the game early. Now, it's like eh I could care less. Knowing me I'll buy it just to see how much progress was made but I'm just not excited anymore for Madden. Things are being improved but I'm just tired of next year, next year, next year.

I feel ya on that bro.. Even though alot of things I've been pinning for are in Madden 10,some things (commentary with half time highlights,salary cap and FA in online franchise,better commentary team,etc) I'll still have to wait next year for and hope for.

not sure who said it but

whoever said the playoff logo is too big is wrong


I'm watching chargers/colts playoff game from 2008 on NFL network....the 'playoffs' banner DOES stretch 20 yards.

FYI

Players still move too jittery and they need to fix their running animations. Someone already mentioned the arm strides in traffic. Runners don't run that way. Everyone runs like they're in an open field even when there's defenders around. It just feels videogamey. When I play NHL 09 & MLB The Show, I don't get that feeling that I'm playing a videogame. I feel more suspension of disbelief because those games are more authentic. Hope that makes sense.

That's pretty much the impression I get from watching the videos. I'm looking forward to this year's game because I have been following its development and Ian and his team really do seem to want to create an authentic experience. I'll reserve final judgment until I have the final game in my hands and actually play it, but from a strictly visual standpoint, it just has that "Madden" look to it. And unfortunately, I just don't find that look to be realistic in any way.

For some reason with Madden's animations I always get the feeling of motion-capture actors trying to mimic football movement and exaggerating everything. With a game like The Show or APF, I just see nuanced, realistic animations.

Would it be too much to to redo 100% of the animation for next year's game?

Anyway, like I said, I'll reserve final judgment until I play it. But I really don't like its "look".

Wow. I just got back from Vegas after 4 days and come home to watch this. I watched the last video 6 of 6, and am AMAZED. No way can anyone say that this game looks dissapointing. I truly was astonished when I saw that False Start occur on the final drive of the Ravens, it just looked real. Plain and simple.

Thanks so much Ian

It felt as if it were a playoff game.. more playoff atmosphere is needed i feel but im happy with whats in the game for this year... the last video really felt like the season was on the line for both teams....

I loved the feel of victory from the coach patting his teammates as the players came off the field after the end game interception in vid 6...this is what i been trying to stress in here for years..its the kind of thing that will make winning fun in madden and the overall feel of playing madden will no longer feel dead...thank god
