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

the only thing i am really disapointed in is the lack of a new kicking system( a shield instead of a circle, oh boy). I think all the other aspects are making steps in the right direction, some steps bigger than others

I'm pleased with what I saw. That 'fresh coat of paint' for every year's Madden game is a welcome sight....HOWEVER...

Ian - Tom Hammond is dragging down your game, dude.

While the rest of Madden has leaped into present with the gusto of JJ Abrams' Star Trek - Tom Hammond is like a layer of dust on top of the whole thing. He sounds like an old man. Hammond may be 8 years younger than Madden - but when it comes to energy and delivery - the guy CANNOT compare.

Here's some adjectives that came to mind when I brainstormed descriptions of Tom Hammond in Madden:
Corny.
Wack.
Tired.
Boring.
Phony.
Stitched.
Old.
Musty.
Generation Gap.

Please tell me he's not under a multi-year contract, because simply getting us commentators with some LIFE will take Madden leaps and bounds further than you guys already have.

New Rule - if the dude's over 50 and he's not John Madden - DO NOT WANT.

Ugh, I gotta take a shower now.

Ian, I noticed something wrong right away as the the cowboys are going to kick off. The 2 cowboy defenders in front of the kicker start the exact same animation routine at the exact same time. It looks really akward and unrealistic.

Yea I loved the fumble pile. But I will turn it off and let the AI decide who gets it.

gameplay looks really good. Im sure we will be shown more cutscenes when the final build is ready also.

One thing that bothered me is the commentary by Hammonds. Absolutely horrible, IMO. Sounds just like Sega Sports Talk Football on Genesis.

That answered two issues for me. Thanks Ian.
