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

[Valdarez]

First, advertising on the coin toss. I hate that, it's not part of the game, and it's an immediate turn off for me when I fire up Madden. If a person pays for a product, they shouldn't have to suffer through blatant advertising. Use the advertising that fits the game, don't alter/ruin the gaming experience to get an extra ad up there. That's not 'in the game'. I still haven't bought a snickers bar going on 2 years later due the snickers advertising in Madden '08 on the PSP.

Don't have time to dissect the game play tonight, the presentation looks better, but the announcers seem the same as last year.

One big disappointment for me after seeing more game play is that it doesn't look like Route Based passing is in the game. That feature alone (from APF2K8) has ruined other football games for me. Without it, I don't think I will be able to enjoy the game. Passing is half the game, and I won't be able to enjoy the passing game without it.

Dallas defenders pretty much didn't care about the created turnover?

No worries.

I believe Ian confirmed this when pile up's were officially announced.

This has just been brewing in me for the past few years, and I just cant deal with it anymore. I may kill myself if the final product isnt a great sim.

Wow, dude you need to find a hobby or seek help. There's more to life than football games, I promise.

Did you think before you typed that? Or must I really ask, what did you expect it to look like?

I can see what they've really worked on, but it just brings out the huge flaws in the gameplay that have always made the game "meh" for me. The decision not to add better locomotion just makes the game seem so stiff. But I have watched the vid a few times and can see the differences, they just aren't overwhelming. Maybe Hammond just sets kind of a generic/blah mood. I will say I like the run blocking on the handoff to Westbrook. The PA fake by McFlabb is bad. He's too upright. No hard fake to it. But I have to digress for a second. I'm watching it as I type with my headphones on watching the Cavs game in PiP and you know what? I can really enjoy this vid a lot more with no audio. The audio is really killing it for me. Hammond especially. Sad how much a bad audio presentation can kill the mood... Turned that off and can see the game's plusses a lot better. With some line play tuning and maybe some rounding off of routes to give it a more organic feel, I could see myself just turning off all the commentary and going with stadium announcers. A lot of the gameplay stuff I can't really judge, especially with the crappy human play. But I'm really digging all of the other presentation outside of Hammond, and the more I watch without him, the more I can see there is some good things going on. A foundation to build on...... BTW this is after watching this clip about 20 times. I don't know... Come on E3!!!!

I like this part "I can see there is some good things going on. A foundation to build on"

To build on? TO BUILD ON?!?! For the love of God man! EA has been "BUILDING" this game for 20 years!!

WHEN are they going to get there?
