I agree with your post, but I would like to add in regards to the presentation part. Why the hell are all these awesome cutscenes covered up with the playcall screens? Why include them at all if we can't see them? lol Man EA aggravates me...

The weather was cold, but coach and refs were in short sleeves. Hope that gets fixed b4 launch...great eye candy...commentary, not happening...had 2 turn the sound down to stay awake...pleased at what I've seen so far!

Looking good.. finally Madden has some soul with presentation.

Crowds sound alot better now...

Crowd animation needs work.. every other fan in the stand has the same animation...i think this should be addressed too, would do wonders for the look of the crowd. I understand there are thousands of fans in the stands..but mixing up the animations a bit more for the fans would help alot. It would probably help to not have every fan in the stands standing up at all times jumping up and down..thats not how the fans at real nfl games react during the entire game...at a real nfl game..some fans are sitting down..also more varied colored shirts are needed in the stands ..i know its a small nitpick but take a look at All Pro Football..the fans in that game are perfect..the crowds look great in APF

Another issue....players on the sideline..when a RB or returner breaks a huge run down the sideline..lets see the players on the sideline actually looking where the ball carrier is.. cheering, clapping and waving towards the endzone as the RB or Returner runs past the players on the sideline..right now, the unresponsive players on the sideline sticks out like a soar thumb..just something i think would help madden greatly with the overall feel.

Toss in more varied cutscenes...i think a bit more various "different" cutscenes would be ideal to help prevent too much repeating of the same cutscenes....like the guy holding the D Fence sign..i think that cutscene repeated a tad too much during one game....you know, you get enough in there and its gonna do wonders in helping cutscenes not repeat so much...but for the first year effort..its good..im expecting Madden11 to have the presentation down pat and polished but this year its definately nice...its heading in the right direction.


Half time and post game needs a serious facelift for Madden11..im not expecting any changes at this point for Madden10 but i think this should be addressed next year...same with the commentary.. the commentary is such a HUGE part of football...if the Madden guys can redo commentary for next year, make it more "real-time" i guess is a good word to explain what im saying..when a RB starts to break a big run..we want to hear the announcers get excited .......and as i suggested.. spice up the half time and post game stuff with some locker room cutscene's with the coach going over gameplans for the 2nd half and allow us the gamers to adjust gameplans,etc during the locker room cutscene..that would be nice..half time should be more robust and allow the gamer to make adjustments for offense, defense, etc

Overall, im impressed...im VERY exited to play Madden2010..it looks so different now with the nice presentation..the entire flow of Madden has changed because of this presentation added this year..nice job guys

yeah this bothered me too.If you go back to the playoff game in Jan. u'll see K.Collins in long sleeves and alot of the Titans wore long sleeves or half sleeves when its cold.

YOUHAVE DIRTY BATHROOMS!!!" If you notice something you don't like, by all means, point it out. But the "this is the same old broken, sh***y Madden" attitude is kind of tired at this point. If you are thoroughly convinced that, despite the obvious improvements, this game is not going to satisfy you, I think you might want to drop football video games and pick up a new hobby. Ian isn't doing us any favors by making Madden, it's his job. But the dedication he has shown to the community is not a job requirement. He could drop it all right now and we could never hear from him again and I guarantee you he wouldn't be reprimanded in the least by his superiors. We have a unique opportunity here and I'd hate to see it go to waste because a handful of people want to "tell it like it is" or as I think most people would say "be douchebags".

There's already plenty of people in here happy and excited with Madden10 that let him know this..its about taking the good WITH the bad..and being able to swallow both...you know, there's quite alot of critical people in message boards/forums no matter what the topic or product..Ian just needs to not let the negative comments get under his skin...and yes, there are quite a bit of critical people in here as well..i think some over do-it too! because there has been some major changes during the off season with Madden10..people need to be happy with that..atleast. At least we are seeing some real changes being done finally

Ian, that was tight and the play clling is right on time. i like it alot, the only thing i seen that is still messed up is the way the d-backs hold the ball after makin a play.But im sure you are already on it now.

*At 2:29 of 3rd Vid, the "QB comparison is missing the attempt stat. "Comp" should say "Comp/Att" and the stat should be "6/8", "8/12" etc... it's improper to show just a completion stat without the attempt stat.

Oddly enough, in the 5th vid, near the end, you actually have it correct in the "Star of the Game" shot, showing the completions and attempts.

*There were very few auto-replays when compared to the number of plays worthy of having an auto-replay.

*Commentary lines are terribly written. New writers with know-how are needed. There are just too many bad lines to list them all. To hear Alex saying these bad lines, too... It's tragic... just tragic.

In all honesty, the commentary sounds the same as last year.

*Not enough guys in sleeves... Coaches not in Jackets. Refs not in jackets... Fans not in jackets... it's January and obviously cold...

*I've noticed this in several vids but in the 4th vid at 2:05, they measure a run that was clearly way ahead of the first down marker.

It seems to almost always happen at the exact same point, too. Measurements shouldn't happen on obvious successful first down attempts like this one. I saw this a lot at CD.

*The refs coming out to confer about whether a guy crossed the goaline simply happens way too much, to the point of actually making the scene an eye-roller. This scene should only happen every once in a while. Like once per game, IF that.

Also, there should be a replay showing us whether the player got in or not... but only sometimes.

*The exact same cutscene of the Ravens coach on the sideline played constantly. The exact same scene. Something is wrong with that. I know there are more cutscenes than that, they should be playing.

I wanna reiterate this... too many measurements, too many conferences, and not NEARLY enough auto-replays.

Next year there needs to be a lot of Collinsworth replay audio recorded as well.
