Madden NFL 10 Preview (TGR)

[Droopy03]

TGR has posted their preview of Madden NFL 10.

Quote:

"If there is one thing that EA Tiburon has always been good about, it’s taking back missteps and listening to its fans. Three previous features that have upset some of its audience--Madden IQ, weapons and rewind--have been downplayed in this newest version. Madden IQ has been tweaked to be more effective, while the weapons concept added a few years back has basically been removed. Rewind will still be in the game, but it will no longer be part of the default set up."

The graphics are just the icing on the cake, as the entire game strives to feel more like actual football. Referees have been added to the field, and a live chain gang will measure close plays to add suspense. Thankfully, you won’t ever have to worry about a crazed ref impeding your progress as bumping into them will not slow you down.

i knew the ref was nothing but hologram. just more indication of EA putting things in to shut us up


One issue with Madden has always been coverage routes on defense. Since the majority of players don’t play in the NFL every Sunday, it’s pretty easy for them to make a simple mistake that results in a quick six when playing as a corner or safety. Madden 10 has added in defensive assist, in which a player can hold the A button to allow the computer to control the player and then jump in when the ball is thrown to make a play on it. This should allow less experienced players to see aspects of the game outside of the blitz.

i dont like the sound of this feature. let people learn football but i guess. its a 50/50 cause madden does have little kids to watch out for to. i hope its a option to turn it off

And how many people would complain if the refs got in the way of their Superbowl-winning TD reception?

You could also...not hold the button to enable it?

Guess EA can't win either way.

hey thats what happen. respect the ref...lol

im glad they put ref in no doubt but making them into holograms just seems lazy like they telling us "HERE's YOUR REFS, NOW SHUT UP AND GIVE US YOUR MONEY"
