While Madden looks great now, let's not get silly.

Yeah the player models are giving me a "man crush!" They do really look good in their tight little pants......J/K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously, the detail on the player models is great. Everything graphically is boosted on this title, and it flows more smoothly. Simon is the bomb! Give him a HUGE raise EA!!!!!!

anyone who says they can see, FROM THIS VIDEO, any real differences in player models is lying to himself.

I will admit that in OTHER videos, players in motion appear to be better and the lighting is improved, but I honestly don't see it in this video. if I asked my girlfriend what's the difference between the first and second one, she would probably say nothing. in fact... i think i'll test that out today when I get off.

Go download the vid from GameTrailers in HD and you can see the differences quite well. There are better/more realistic muscle definitions. Look at the way the Shoulder pads sit on the players now. Everything is more rounded and organic as opposed to the more angular, "squared" feel and look of every Madden this gen. Is it something that jumps out at you like "Damn!", not really. But that seems to be a synopsis of the whole Madden experience this year. It's more about a decerning eye picking out the finer details in player models, animations and gameplay. The real big stuff is the "fluffy" features like Rewind and Virtual Trainer, which most of us who've played for a while won't really feel.

So is this just a roster update for you? Your choice......

i think certain aspect yes, but i think madden 2010 will finally make football gaming history. madden 09 this year will still lack true line play and QB foot planting and escape. presentation will not be as good as 2k5 this year, but i think madden 2010 will rival 2k5. they would still have to implement pre game half time, post game and weekly show, before i hand the torch to madden with the presentation part of the game from 2k5. But i'm loving what i see. this year i'll actually be playing both games till next year's version drop. (hopefully)

last year was the 1st year that i didn't finish a franchise year 1 and didn't go beyond yrs two in my dynasty in NCAA. hoping for the best.
