The LG destroys the MLB and removes him from the play. The TE pushes Ware out of the play. Physics and leverage will be huge this year. McNabb switches hands on the counter play. NICE Detail! WE NOW HAVE A POCKET TO STEP UP INTO!!!! McNabb doesn't step up on the first pass, but it was there, and Romo on the Touchdown stepping up into the pocket brought a tear to my eye. Maclin is running away from Ellis (DE) and James (LB). No more RB's or WR's getting chased down by slower players. Slowing the game down looks to have created more speed. (What ???) Great cutscene in the middle/end of the tackle on Maclin. This will add and organic feel to every play in every game. Another great detail! Watch the TE's on the McNabb sack. They start off the ball slow then pick up momentum as they enter their patterns. Bigger/slower players should act accordingly. DETAIL! McNabb looks immediatley down field after the play fake to MCcoy. DETAIL! Love the fight for the ball. The ref throwing players off (DETAIL), the players pushing each other (DETAIL), the two players still fighting for the ball after the ref signals (DETAIL), the eagles getting pissed after the call (DETAIL). The QB throwing motions. Speechless. I have a feeling this is only a drop in the bucket for this game. The foundation looks to be layed and they are building a solid game with the details that we all have been hungry for. Keep up the hard work. August 14th will be a revelation for Madden enthusiast in the gaming world.

I smell a PLANT! Hmmm... whether or not you're not an EA employee of some sorts will remain a mystery but for being your first post here...it seems a little...strange

But, I think you're getting too excited over this game. What I saw was basically Madden 09 with some MINOR changes. Still has the same crappy robotic animations and the play by play still stinks.

Still too early to tell of course but this will be the very first year since Madden 90 that I will rent first. After watching several vids from Madden 10 I am, so far, disappointed. But I was expecting to be anyways so nothing new there.

good post OP

Balloon a little deflated right now. Not getting the Fifa09/2k5 feeling. Hoping that Ian was correct about this build being nothing like where they stand now. But will reserve much more critical judgement till post E3....

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. -SeventhWard

Well aren't you just so clever!

as a professional engineer, and a good one at that, the sound design as it stands is still absolutely abysmal...


presentation looks a lot better though..there's a lot of good in there..


but i can't get over how bad the sound is..in every aspect, from the crowd, to the commentary...


edit: i agree with 7thward...why can't we at least have madden if it's gonna be that generic sounding!??!! i mean it's his game and he just retired..honor the man! please?

love how i goes to cut scene after a tackle...i'm gettin excited people....shes lookin good

[NYG 5]

i'm still not digging the way this game moves either. it still looks like a videogame. all pro wasn't perfect, but it moved great

Gameplay and presentation look really good. I can't wait to see more of the presentation.

Like everyone else said the commentary is just bad. I can live with the bad pauses and awkward cuts, but that was a pretty impressive touchdown catch and we get such a boring reaction.

Also, running animations still look off. They just don't look natural.
