I like it more and more each demo i play....but i agree with what the others are saying.

The 1 minute demo seems much more polished than the gamestop exclusive.

+1

I'm shocked some people are whining about it being too slow. It's apart of sim football. If you don't like this speed, then you don't like sim simple as that.

I'm glad it's there because it's realistic and I'm happy that it's going to be default online. It's going to be a BLAST owning cheesers because they're not going to be able to do jack crap with the game speed like it is and the mandatory QB drop.

How are they gonna get pressure from that Defense? Only 3 guys rushed the QB. Not two many tweak's will help that. Looks like the person who made that is playing in the Madden challenge BS. That video was a joke

Oh yea probably playing on the rookie difficulty setting

Well, while my PS3 "cools off" after only having it on for about 15-20 min and then the thing shutdown on my in the middle of the demo (I believe this Madden 10 demo broke my ish!), here are my impressions (I played three games earlier today) This is from my All Pro gaming playing as the Cards:

Graphics -

• Nicer than last year's Madden.
• Seems like they bumped up the res to 1080i.
• Crowds look MUCH better, now.
• Can't wait til they get the hair physics improved for longer haired players. It's ok, for now.

Presentation - Tight. No complaints.

Gameplay - I know this is a demo so these issues should hopefully be moot by the time the retail version releases, or, at the very least, a patch is released

• Suction blocking is still there. Seems like I just can't get away from an offensive lineman without doing HELLA work. Lol.
• Missed blocks are alive and kicking. Simple, straight up blocks my O-line seems to miss, A LOT. I know the Steelers are good on D but damn!!!
• CBs and such are sometimes in a fog and just watch passes get complete
• Demo is TOO slow, for me, but I was getting used to it before my PS3 went on me. Used to Madden 09 and NCAA 10's speed but I know Madden 10 will have the speed sliders come release.
• Otherwise, it's Madden's "patented" gameplay. Good stuff.

Animations

• GREAT stuff and even some extra new ones that are not in NCAA 10.
• Run animations look great even in replays, FINALLY. Looks like they lengthened the run animations.
• Protak looks ok. Jury still out on that although I did see my teammate try to help push the pile forward when I was being tackled by 2 players. NICE!
• Suction tackling - Not good but it's Madden. I'm used to it.

Playbooks - GREAT stuff in there. New plays and all. Woot!

That's just a quick, brief run down. Now I wanna go chase this "Live 10 vid" that mysteriously got pulled from Youtube since I cannot play the Madden 10 demo, thanks to my PS3 shutting down on me. Hopefully, it just needs to cool off.
