Well out of the four teams in both demos to me.... FINALLY the team colors are dead on on my tv

You have to understand that players have force fields around them in Madden lol. I would bet my bottom dollar that the game interpreted that as the lineman hitting the pass. Have you never dove at a ball carrier and were just stopped in mid air and fallen to the floor with it looking like you never touched the ball carrier? Have you never been sucked up into a block?

Tiburon's collision detection issues are legendary and their poor animations are right up there with it. Don't trouble yourself over that play. I promise you it's Tiburon's collision detection and piss poor animation at it's finest lol.

First off let me say that Madden is a beast this year! Ian you guys have done an amazing job and it is just incredible how far we have come in one years time!!!

I have been playing both demos on the 360 and the graphics look much better on the Giants vs Cowboys demo. Is it a more up to date build? Has Ian commented on this?

madden 10 is looking scary for me. it has plus but its had these same old issues. there engine just flat out sucks when it comes to recreating the NFL

just played the demo today, gotta say that i'm really a bit dissappointed. compared to college fb the speed of the game should be much faster not much slower. also, is it me or has the graphics taken a step back? I will sat that i was happy to see the improvements to the presentation though.

Still a little clunky with the receiver animations. Speed is a little too slow. Overall i will still buy...love the ideas and it looks like they can tweak the game.

Yeah the blocking AI looks a lil wacky, could just be the steeler demo because i have yet to see it in the Giants one (close to 50 games played)

Overall, I think Ian and the EA Dev team have done a nice job; however, I did notice a few issues from the demo that IMO should be fixed before the game ships.

Game Speed-Deceasing the game speed was the right decision, but I think 10% was a bit too much. I know we have the ability to change it in the final build, but still I think it should be at 5% for online matches.

Line Play-Just like in NCAA, the CPU QBs have WAY too much time in the pocket. This has to be addressed.

Everything else was good.... Presentation and more specifically the post-play cut scenes were awesome! All-Madden appears to finally be challenging again.
