Madden NFL 10 Videos: Ravens (CPU) vs. Titans (Ian) Full Gameplay in HD

Man they're doing a great job. Don't care what anybody says.

The cutscenes are so cool I actually found myself laughing at 'em. Loved it when the Titans sealed the game and they showed some Ravens fans leaving the game.

Absolutely unforgivable, when was the last time you saw a touchdown scored in real life and there was no replay of it.....er never (but you show a 5 yd run by LJ in the other vid but not his 80 yd run for a TD....hmm.

Wow, I watched the vids last night and posted that I didn't want to speak on more than what I did and that was basically because the game was in alpha stages. Yes, there were things I noticed that were off like lack of sleeves in an obviously very cold temp and no sundown to night transition but I figure that it was because it was still a work in progress.
Like Ian said, basically, don't get your panties in a bunch folks. Those who are actually offering constructive criticism instead of scathing negativity, that's understandable because the game is not finished and you wanna point out particulars that maybe Ian and co have not picked up on.

Again, great job, Ian, and I actually enjoyed the vids even more, after 9hrs of sleep - lol. Can't wait til Aug. 14th...or ,at least, the demo release.

The more I see, the more comfortable I feel in purchasing this year's game. EA has finally taken notes. Lots of improvement to presentation...joy! They just need to try and emulate 2k8's dynamic player-sideline interaction, distinct crowd and unique player animations to complete the presentation turn-a-around.

By the way, does M10 have custom stadium music?

[Skyliner80]

...by the way, that camera angle that 'chases' the ball carrier in a "roadie"- shaky way is out of place with the current presentation changes.

I know I noted that crowd needs improvement but in reality, all they need for a quick fix is to react at certain times, not in every single second of the game. They also need to tone down the excessive flashing bulbs on every down. Maybe adding more sprites (..see 2k8 crowd). Besides that, EA is headed in the right direction...

I enjoyed the vids. Thanks Ian. I can't wait for August.

One thing I noticed when the Raven were called for holding and specifically for false start the crowd did seem to react properly. And when the Raven's fans were leaving it would be cool to see some titans fans mixed in there

[Skyliner80]

Yeah, it's alpha build, so they should fix it before the final release.

I've always wondered why EA always had bland overlays. They should adopt something like what you see in TV Broadcasts. In my opinion NFL on NBC back in the early 90s had the best overlays/font.
