^^ PS, I meant "practice mode", not franchise mode.

And it's been a release for me. Getting some of this stuff out there. I want you guys to be excited, because what you're gonna get in August is a quality product, much more than you would have expected when Ian first took over the position. It is going to be fun for me to watch your reactions to some of the news yet to come.

Nfl teams dont go for it on 4th down and 10 or 15 they punt its the little things real players see that need to be changed but EA was smart to get madden heads and say their 2k guys

Coach Ruckus.....

I have been here from the beginning of this thread and we go wayyy back and you are on my friends list so let me say this.....

I have had PM's with Ian myself on issues on the game and he has even taken the time to look at some of the links I have sent him on APF and the 2K forums. Ian is trying hard to make this the best game Madden has put out.

I don't know all of these guys but the fact that TheWatcher pulled out 2K5 and said bluntly that he would put it in if Madden 10 was not up to his standards should tell you something. Just look at TheWatchers signature LOL. LBzRules has a lot of knowledge of Defense and how they should react and play and played APF for a long time and I am sure he still does.

They asked the questions you would have asked and more and are still in discussions with them. Please understand that they can not talk about most of the stuff they have seen because of a signed agreement. I am sure they are busting at the seams wanting to tell us everything but they can't.

You know how hard core I am with 2K and you know how Hard Core my leagues are because you were in them. I have full confidence that the people they sent and the progress Ian and team has made will make huge strides in Madden 10. Will it be 2K over night? No, but they don't need to be. I would love something far superior to 2K. I am not a fan of 2K but I am a fan of the best football game out there and I don't care who makes it.

Also I have read every post in this thread believe it or not LOL.

This says it all I think, and I'm a 49ers fan. Then again, Ronnie Lott is there, so it's cool.

I wanna take the time to express my gratitude and thanks to the Elite 8. I couldn't think of a better group of guys(maybe ones equal to) to attend the event and represent what the community here has been asking for and wanting.

I can only speak for myself obviously when I say this, but for me, I know what I want to see and what I see on Sundays, but football isn't my most knowledgeable sport. I can't speak x's and o's and don't know how to speak the terms to get a point across. Other sports yes, but not football. So its comforting to me, that guys like the Elite 8 went to represent my voice and get what I want in the game, into the game.

So thank you guys. At least from one humble poster who's been here more years than I care to count, its truly, truly, truly, appreciated.

he's also a former raider , but he's known more so for his days in whiner land . I can't wait to see fitzgerald matchup against asomugha in madden 10!!!!!!! Thanks again to the 8 that have been answering questions and getting pretty much the entire community amped for a game that isn't going to drop for another 3 months or so.

Whats with all the commotion over the screen shot? Its actually quite disappointing IMO. Im happy they added more accessories, but this far along with next gen consoles and the player models still dont look right, lighting, textures look off as well.

I know I sound like I have something against EA, but just compare close up shots of FIFA 09 and you'll see that these Madden screens are not that great at all. And BTW Fifa is 11 v 11 with 3 animated refs on the field.

Forgive our current lighting and skin tone tuning that is still in progress, but I thought you all would dig the new accessories. - straight from the blog, it will only improve my friend.

You should read the whole blog (especially the paragraph right before the screen shot).
