Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

[iAM-IncReDiBLe-]

I loved what I saw. Obviously some presentation aspects were edited out and the CB was user controlled. The pocket didn't form as fast as I hope, but I believe it will be fixed by august 14th.

They seemed to have made such a big improvement in one year. It really makes me believe that Ian and company know exactly what to do and the future of Madden is in great hands.

just a minor personal annoyance, but I hate the camera flashes....lol

There's nothing more annoying than sitting next to a picture taker at a football game. Quit taking pictures and watch the game already.

OK, I hope this is an early build. There is no DOF throughout the entire video, with the one exception of the fumble pile-up. Plus no colored cleats. I'd say very early build.

Why do so many people ASSUME all these issues will be fixed?? EA's track record of NOT fixing these issues is well documented, so to say "we're sure they'll fix this" is outrageous!!

There were several things in this video I found disturbing, given all the hype Ian has layed on us about "if you see it on Sunday.....". The game STILL lacks emotion, IMO. The commentators sounded worse than last year, really. As other already pointed out, the coin toss will get boring after a couple games if it's always the same sponsor....the 2 guys doing the synchronized dancing before the kickoff really sucked the realism out of that moment.

The generic references to Williams are more of the same we had last year where they rarely used a players name. The pile-up after the fumble looked more like a game of buck-buck with the lineman doing the WWE style dive at the pile.

The refs signalled posession the wrong direction, and the wrong team celebrated.....these are all taken from a very short (and strongly edited) clip of gameplay. If we're seeing THIS many issues in that short a time, I am concerned!!

Overall, color me un-impressed! The game STILL looks like Madden as in past years....and it just doesn't look like what we've been told to expect.

That's nice to hear.

Sounds like the game is improving every day! Keep it up! And please remove the wide-angle, drifting shot with the camera people in the lower right corner.

It's crazy, this video is about 2 weeks old and it already looks totally out of date to me because of all the recent changes we've been making to gameplay. It still is a good showcase of many of the things you guys should expect to see.

Good to hear Ian...keep up the great work...if you've already made improvements to crowd noise, run fits, and a faster forming pocket in just two weeks I am beyond impressed!!

Man Michaels and Madden need to be back ASAP! Retired or not retired he needs to get his a** in that booth and record some lines! Madden has by far the greatest commentary in the game. He speaks the truth, and gives some insight, like collinsworth on the whole backtrack thing.
