Madden NFL 10 Dev Diary Video: Everything You See On Sunday

Good looking video. I just hope that the halftime/post-game shows are improved...if so, this game is going to pull both former disappointed Madden fans and 2K5 die-hards in alike.

My opinion, Yeah This presentation is very impressive for the madden series as it has always lacked. No I do not think it is on MLB the shows' level. Although the presentation has added a lot of lasting appeal, We as the gamer can't keep over-praising Madden. They got presentation with big improvements now it is solid. Lets see this done with the gameplay. I pick every little thing out, so close that I discovered there are over 20+ glitches or mishaps on any punt play only counting from snap - to kick - NO return lol (Madden 09) but lets see some major strides in gameplay. I know about all the improvements and I look forward to see which ones really made the cut and which ones just were word of mouf and half implemented because of a programming issue or w.e. All in all , the presentation is a big improvement, could be better but I am patiently waiting for Aug. 14th. Don't take this the wrong way, we overreact about presentation or other "gimmick features" like in the past and it always haunts us, just appreaciate it, and strive for more improvement in other areas , thats my take. I am not saying any is overreacting in here either -just a friendly reminder lol

I'm looking forward to playing Madden 10. As a diehard fan of the 2K series, I am glad they've stopped bashing 2K and really have taken the best aspects of what made the game so great to so many of us!

Presentation
A True QB Pocket
Oline vs Dline interaction
WR Route Running

Now just take the Challenge System and call it a day! :-)

When did we get so vain that if the game doesn't cater to each individual of the close to 1 million people who buy the game then it's considered a loss? C'mon people, you're better than that. There are plenty of guys who want something in the game. Your request/wish/hope is no more important than someone elses.

Not to speak for this person, but the issue is that this has been an issue from day 1 of the next-gen era. Because you don't play with this angle, you don't understand the frustration (and there's nothing wrong with that). For those who do play with this angle, it is important to them as having online franchise for those who expect that feature. Be fair about it--everyone has their own way of enjoying the game. He's not saying his priorities are more important than others, he's just voicing his opinion which is what this forum was created for.

I think this issue with broadcast cam needs to be dealt with. The very least they could do is just activate it for cpu and coach mode games. I am not a programmer by any means, but I don't understand how "bugs" could affect this camera angle in a cpu controlled game. After all, the replay system has the broadcast angle.

The new presentation in Madden this year is such a welcome sight!! I can see that they are surely giving maximum effort. For so many years a lot of us have pushed for this. Madden is on the right track now. We broadcast cam fans are simply trying to push them to the finish line. That's all.

Actually I do play from that angle on occasion, so don't assume.

The comment is a microcosm of what is wrong with most of the comments by guys in this forum. They can't get to EVERYTHING this year. If this is one of the things left out, posting about it in any thread that has to do with people mentioning presentation isn't going to do anything but annoy those who actually like the improvements that are obvious in these videos.

Add the fact that he has plenty of posts in the Broadcast camera angle fans unite thread... and it's obvious where this is going.

If you want to talk about the broadcast cam, there is a thread for it. Stop derailing the thread.

This year's game looks as though its been developed on completely different console hardware vs past installments.

Pared - Keep reiterating what you said about EA not being able to get to everything this year. I just don't get the whining up here when it is beyond obvious the extreme amount of work to cover multiple bases in this year's Madden. The problem is that this nation is raising too many spoiled males, bottomline. They want everything and are used to getting it in their households and it spreads to every aspect of their lives. They don't know how to appreciate much outside of getting what they want and even then, there is a complaint about something about that, too!

As for the broadcast cam thing, yea, blog it, folks. I only liked broadcast cams for watching a game where I choose the teams and just wanna kick back. Side to side football went out with Tecmo Superbowl, for me.
