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

[SAMKAVELI NFL FOOTBALL]

Wow that looked just like 09. Thinks for the video EA you just saved me $65 hopefully Madden 11 can actually change the gameplay until then I'll still play the superior APF 2k8.

The whole thing felt much less rigid. There was flow, and a more natural feel to it all.

I could just be seeing things, but the running looked a lot better in the gametrailers vid than the ign one. The video was also higher res so that could be it.

Alright is rewatched the entire vid a few times and maybe I was a little too harsh. All im interested in is gameplay so I'll break down what I was looking for. On youtube there is a list of new gameplay fixes under the name EASPORTSRAC and I wanted to see those things in action so in no particular order...

1. Turn rates, players turn on a dime--after watching it a few times, this does look toned down and improved so +1

2. Route running, better mechanics--players did take steps before they broke and it did look more realistic so +1

3. Jostling wr/db interaction. Didnt really notice any jostling in these shots, someone please point it out if I missed it but for me -1

4. Procedural awareness, players looking back for the ball. On the td, the db never looked for the ball and the wr only looked over his wrong shoulder right as ball arrived. -1

5. FB dive fix/Spin animation fix. Didn't see it so its a wash.

Overall, rating the gameplay only-not as bad as I originally thought, and better than 09, but want to see more. Presentation- I liked the cut scenes, Romo on the phone in particular (the fumble pile not so much) but absolutely hated the announcer.

I think rewatching this vid with the sound off made a world of difference, that announcer reeks of 09 and kills what Madden 10 can accomplish. This game does seem to take huge steps in the right direction although I want to see some vids on all-pro or all-madden so I can really get an idea if man coverage has improved. The jury is still out for me once again.

Yeah, I noticed it in the game trailers video as well. Running looks at least as good as the PS2 version.

[jimbo1215]

so the meter is still there? or can it be turned off in higher difficulties?

[ScoobySnax]

I agree. I think the animation looks better as well. Most of our OS brethren would say otherwise. I believe this is a very solid product we're going to get.

Other than that it looked pretty damn solid.

You can do that in the NFL, its just if people choose to or not.

But I think the game looks great and the menus look real sharp too.
