5 minute demo = Super Bowl. No tie games.
1 minute demo = regular season Tie games allowed.

Donovan McNabb? Why do you have a Cowboys avatar?

Just saw this animation defender goes up and tips the pass, then in mid-air turns and delivers a vicious hit on the receiver. You would think they would have gotten rid of that animation, with the commitment to sim and all.

Please tell me there will be broadcast type replays in the game, and hopefully in the online game too (which was left out on Madden 09). I'd like the system FIFA does in the replays online, the box on the top that shows if either player has tried to skip the replay but will show it unless both chose to skip. Same thing for the halftime shows...

Is Chris Collingsworth "Back Track" Replay breakdown of replays still going to be in the final release or at least a new version of it? I thought that was actually cool, and basically the only presentation 09 tried to make?

Anyone know the answer to these two questions.

overall impressions is real simple for me.

madden 10 is better than madden 09 but isnt better than ALL PRO 2k8 when its comes to gameplay which IMO is the best simulation to date. however i will say madden 10 is the step in the right direction and my words to IAN is dont screw it up cause.

next year has to focus on gameplay, and physics. its need to simulate the NFL

Enjoying both demo's so far...the Super Bowl replay speed is something everyone will have to get used to for sure. It's nice to see lanes open up for the running backs, and see them collapse on occasion as they should. Some passes seem to float a bit, but then again I haven't tried really pressing down on the buttons to force a strong-arm pass.

Whoever arranged or made the music for the menus and replays must be a fan of Hans Zimmer (Pirates of the Carribean specifically)

I just dont understand this::

MANY issues have been corrected, ESPECIALLY in the gameplay dept. of madden this year. I know for a fact, the Devs knew about the RC problem coming into this year, because they apparently recognized something was wrong with the FB Dive, and just the overall nature of the WR/DB interaction....

It seems to me that the Devs HAVE done a GREAT job on the game, but dag -- Annooottthhheeerrr year of RC'ing? **Ughh**...

I guess it just makes me frustrated because the overall makeup of the game is legitimately GREAT and a total step up from last year. But the one mode that has plagued the Online community for years is back for another year!

Oh well, I've rambled long enough..theres always next year...

**((But dont get me wrong, I appreciate all the effort that has been put in the game this year and see the AMAZING strides...and I'm still purchasing the game, and I realize not everyones wishes will be come true during the production of the game...))

So I'll take the RCing with a grain of salt, try to prepare as much as possible for it (because I mainly play online), and just hope next year something gets done about it...
