If you click 'A' or something, it pops up instructions. You have to click 'B' or 'X' or something to make the instructions disappear. THEN you can do the up/down thing with the stick to kick.

Yep. I really appreciate what the speed does for the running game.

This below is coming from a guy that did NOT like any of the next gen football offerings..I REPEAT..the comments below are from a guy that has not liked any of the next gen offerings..hasnt bought madden since 05..now you see that even the ones (the sincere gamers) that have been turned off from madden and rightfully so..are finally seeing a "true" improvement with Madden10. Now keep in mind..we will still have our trolls that come around to bash the game for no reason..thats a given so be prepaired for an onslaught of haters throughout the day today...

This post below is ACE and is exactly how i feel

I've purchased NCAA each of the past three years and have NCAA 10 so that is my base of comparison. The first thing I immediately notice in gameplay is the game speed. I'm not for sure how Maddenites feel about the slower gameplay, but I'm absolutely loving it! You can find and hit holes in the run game and I actually feel like I am in control. Catching (amazing over the shoulder grabs WHILE tracking the ball) as well as passing seem sooo much more realistic in comparison, unlike NCAA where I always feel pressured or rushed to make plays. It just feels like Madden allows you to play football and not a game within the game, if that makes sense. I think the graphics go without say. The level of presentation upgrade from NCAA is just, just, I can't even explain it. The different cut scenes, the animations, the crowd, you name it, is on a whole 'nother level. When I had Chris Wells get injured in the first quarter, you could see him grimacing and it was so detailed in how he interacted with the trainers when they came out to check him. I see Roethlisberger on the phone after a scoring drive; teams heading into the tunnel at the half (although they were majorly covered up by the halftime overlay); Warner on the phone just after the half in preparation for the opening drive; fly overs; team entrances with tunnel inflatables and smoke -- the whole nine....just great! Although, I do wonder if the entrances are just for the Superbowl, or if those will be included in regular season games too. Finally, there was no commentary, but I'll chalk that up to being a demo build. I've read through all the pages in this thread and no one has mentioned the subs. That could be because this was a feature in previous versions of the game, but coming from NCAA (absolutely no formation subs) this is amazing to me! While on defense I notice that Pago Togafau is turning yellow as all get out. I hit the RB to go to subs, select him in the formation screen and can immediately choose another player to give him a breather!! Again, sorry if that was in previous versions but to a NCAA gamer this is HUGE. Now if you're a hardcore Madden player then you may or may not be blown away at first glance, but as someone who has primarily played the NCAA series, I'm astounded. With that, there may be some gameplay issues still in existence; suction blocking, rocket catch, to name a few which I've read in here, but I'll leave that to the hardcore folks because I'm just not that well versed in the series to be able to pick that stuff out. All in all, after playing the demo I must say that I'm glad Gamestop gave me that $40 trade in promo card when purchasing NCAA, because the Madden team (Ian and company) just might have got back another fan of the series.

My opinion is that All Madden is cheap. And I'll stick to it. The graphics are ok.. But not next-gen.
