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

[steelernation28]

I've played every Madden (except for the first one), and I have never been more excited for a Madden game. Ian and your team, thank you for finally realizing the game that all of us have been waiting to play since we first got our hand on Madden. P.S. Give Ian a break. I feel sorry for him having to put up with all this crap.

I think enough has been said about the pass rush so...ya... here are some other things I want to point out that have probably already been said before.

1) Still wish there was more momentum for defensive players
2) Run blocking logic still needs to be improved on
3) And why on the the last play does Flacco even try that throw?!?! It's 4th and 25!!!
4) Need to shorten stride and speed up running animation for ball carrier
5) Squibs!
6) Can't wait until August 14th!!

Madden 10's entire overlay style is actually a direct derivative of NBC Sunday Night Football.

Having said that, I don't think enough stats come up. Even after watching all 4 quarters of the Titans-Ravens, I just didn't see enough stat overlays.

So currently the definite issues with presentation on the field are:

*Lack of auto-replays... there needs to be a lot more.

*Lack of stat overlays... even after 4 quarters, there just weren't even nearly enough.

*The stat readings of the overlays need to be in the correct format. 09 suffered from the same problem as the stats read improperly.

QB Stats should NEVER only show a completion stat without also showing the attempt stat. I made a whole post on this in my Wishlist series guys! C'mooooonnnn

For QB's it's completions, attempts, yards, TD's, INT's (16/25, 210 yds, 2 TD's, 1 INT).

And for RB's it's carries, yards, TD's (26car, 134yds, 2 TD's)

WR's it's rec, yards, TD's (12rec, 195yds, 1TD)

... if there is a zero '0' for any of those stat categories, you don't post zero '0' on the banner. You just make sure the stat category doesn't show up on the banner at all when the stat is a zero '0'. It's not proper to show a stat at zero unless it's a stat based on an attempt. For example, it's proper to show a '0' stat for yards if there have been attempts (like 2car, 0yds) same with completions and QB ratings. Even a minus number can be shown (5car, -2yds)... but nothing else as far I can think of at the moment.

*I'm concerned about the challenge situation, as I've yet to see one even in situations where they would need to be (that goaline TD that had to be confered on by the refs). I'm starting to get worried that there may be no challenge function in the game or something (lol)... but that would be a disaster...

*Defenders being given a tight shot after knocking down a pass or making a near-INT. I've also seen big tackles for losses and sacks where the defender was not spotlighted, and there was also no auto-replay. This auto-replay issue is really a big deal.

*Cutscenes of team celebrations playing out for TD's, with no auto-replay. It should be:

TD-Autoreplay-Cutscene of team celebration.

If it's a one guy celebration it should be:

TD-one guy celebration-Auto-replay-Cutscene (if applicable, though a cutscene of some sort should really always show up here).

I wonder if anything can be done about how everyone's head is nodding down while they are standing up coming out of the huddle. It looks like they are emerging from a deep hypnosis-trance state.

I'd also like to see the QB, touch his helmet or point things out as he approaches the line.

No, no. I typed NFL on NBC, early 90's . I should have said NFL Live. Madden does resember today's Sunday Night Football which I don't care too much for.

all of you that say this was a great game, REALLY? i could fire up the madden 09 via PS3 and get the same game. the post game suck, halftime suck and post game suck. yes they did improve some of the games items but really they fail to improve the overall game exp. commetary could say more than we already know. talk about the players more. i think ea just need comp. it like they heard what people were saying but didnt listen. what do all of you think?

Do you buy madden to PLAY or to watch?

If your buying it for thw latter I suggest you realize the product your purchasing. Buy head coach if tour looking to simply Watch. Madden is based on game play..afte that is its primary purpose right?
