Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

One thing that everyone has to realize is the fact that the demo usually isn't as good as the finished product. I hated the NCAA 10 demo, but I played the full version and I actually liked it. The Demo is not the finished product. If you like the demo you will probably love the final game.

It will probably be a few hours earlier than that. PS Store usually updates around 5 or 6 Eastern.

Very good point. Look at how many people didn't like the NCAA demo and were surpised by the full version.

I was always more of NCAA fan, now I can't see myself playing NCAA again this year. Just seems like everything is a lot more fluid and skill and strategy is more involved now. I am very glad I preorder, I am also very glad that Ian and has team now has a great game to build off of for Madden 11. This game seems like it's going to EA's next NHL series that was saved by a better dev team who strives for sim and not gimmick crap. NCAA team, please take notes.

i wonder in the retail version will the replays be longer. alot of the time big plays are cut short. like if i throw a deep ball it wont show the replay from the time i snapped the ball. whats up with the full replays? i hope this is just for the demo.

I haven't played the demos yet, but after playing through at CD, I can say they didn't do a great job of milking the drama this year. I think that contributes to the feeling people have when they say NFL2K5 had a better flow to it presentation wise. It's a starting point for sure, but they have to make it so that the cutscenes don't end so abruptly in the future.

Um, that's exactly what NEEDS to be in the game. Finally, the whole "lets hike the ball, roll out 15 yards and throw across our body for a perfect completion" thing is DEAD and I can't be happier. Madden's always had that BS and it's great to see Ian and co. take it away.

Now, you actually have to have skill to complete a pass. You have to stop, plant your feet and time your throws or you're not going to be able to win many games. This is EXACTLY like APF and it's going to eliminate alot of cheese.

Cheers to that!

Just got a sweet Challenge reversal. I knew that guy stepped out, but didn't have the challenge option. Luckily, the booth got it. And some of these new animations are really impressive!
