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

[British Bronco]

Overall I think this game looks really good.

My only negative thought is the crowd noise - while the Tennesse crowd appeared to be making noise for the home team I still don't think it was entirely clear that the Titans were at home, which it should be.

More importantly the crwod never really go wild (audio) at the right moments - Once Chris Johnson broke free for those TD runs that should be the moment the crowd start going wild. As far as I can tell they wait till the ball is in the endzone, which feels unrealistic. And even then it sounds a bit muted. The noise level then really goes up for the XP attempt!

Am I the only one to notice this? It should be easy to fix should it not?

Watched the first two vids and will watch the last two later.

Postive:
The crowd, presentation and atmosphere may be worth buying the game for. I have to give props on that first and foremost because it is a night and day difference from any Madden this generation.

Negatives:
Still seems like "Madden" gameplay and not football.
-like stated, the animations kill the game. Until the engine is changed it will always be a negative, IMO.
-Running to the outside is just not realistic. It still seems like
"mario running" and I am still noticing defenders getting sucked in to blocks. Instead they should take angles to avoid the block or atleast engage.
Passing:
From what I saw, I didn't see any throw aways, why not? Why is the Madden mentality not to throw the ball away if someone is covered. You know why? Because the defense isn't punishing enough. Step up the defense please!
-On a curl route that was thrown, the OLB/DB jumped on it but the WR still caught the ball. There was also another bad thrown floater that was caught in double coverage. Seems like the same old game. Both should have been picked off
-The qb sneak at the goaline still seems to be money.

Great presentation but this game so far is seeming like the same old story, all show but no go. More than likely a rental for me.

Whats up with the running animations on break away plays its looks like the runner is in a jogging animation. It looks weird.

I would of liked to see more defense pressure towards the QB. Its like the offense have super offensive linemen.

The graphics and presentation are solid. I liked how they had the highlights after the game. I wish there was an option to play your own music for certain situations. If there is option like that this year then thats great.

I mean I can give you features that they added to improve the game and I can also give you things that they did or are doing after that vid was made that they are currently improving until the game goes gold but I can't 100% personally tell you how the gameplay is since I haven't played it.

No I just want someone to give me the positives you have seen from that set of videos. And not only the positives but the differences in gameplay from 09.

*Moves at a more realistic pace compared to past maddens
*Bad passes when the QB throws while being hit
*Better clock management
*Bad/overthrown passes
*Over shoulder catches
*Improved QB sneak (QB just drops instead of previous years where the QB runs)
*Pro-Tak (more than 3 men gang tackles/ pile steering)

That's what I seen in the vid that are improvements. The main things I thought that needed to be worked on was the running animation and the pass rush. Ian improved the pass rush since that vid was made and he is also currently working on the run styles.

lol..yeah your good at doing that

ANyways..this is a game of football, how much does a game of football change year to year? The important thing that im concerned is gameplay tweaking and presentation..both have been attended pretty well it seems.

I could go play by beloved NBA2k7, NBA2k8 and 2k9 and guess what... rock'n game of bball in which hasnt changed a great deal from the years i listed but madden09 to 10 has...but you know, there are always complainers around here in the madden forums that sound like they are on the rag or something...
