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

[cd324]

Although the presentation is much improved and player models/faces look much better, I just am not very impressed with some of the gameplay improvements they made. I still do not see much of a pocket formed at all when the QB drops back. I can still see someone being able to run back with the QB 15-20 yards without any issues. This has been my biggest gripe with Madden. How difficult can it be to form a pocket for a QB? This makes the QB play unrealistic and brings an arcade like feel to the game. I hope this gets fixed before release because I will be so disappointed after getting so excited hearing they had finally corrected this issue.

I stand corrected and post edited. I only played a few quarters of 06-08 so I don't remember Michaels in the game. I just know I like him in real life. I guess it's just like Hammond, he's good in real life, but in a game, he's unnatural sounding. We need someone though, to replace Hammond.

I thought the video looked good. Presentation looked good. The only thing that stood out at me as a negative was I thought Maclin looked too slow when he caught the ball. I think people tend to overanalyze videos though. I can do that myself.

The commentary made me want to bash my face into my desk.

The player movements looked really stiff and unrealistic.

And the way that pocket was forming..... it still appeared that you could drop back 30 yards and throw the bomb. Now I'm not saying you could, it just appeared that way.

Other than that it looked pretty damn solid.

The commentary is really lacking here. Take a page from NHL 09, or maybe the one thing MLB 2k9 did. Hammond needs to either step it up, or step down.

The presentation was "ehh." I know people are going to say "OMG IT ISN'T DONE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SHOW IT STOP BASHING IT," but if they didn't want people to criticize it, they should have shown it so early.

The game looks ok, and I like the pockets now forming. I thought the funble meter would be another gimmick, but it looks like something that could be a core feature for years to come. The Landry Coliseum looks really good, abit a tad too dark.

Overall, it's so- so, but I also recognize that this isn't finished just yet. The Madden team has a way to go, but it's looking like a green light to go forward.

True it isn't finished.
