the guy did the play wrong,you have to set up a pitch play, you have to run inside couple of time where the D adds more ppl to the middle to stop the inside run...once that happens couple of times u do a pitch play....u cant just do a play out of the blue... thats like trying to do a play action pass without doing any run play first.

Most positive aspect of Gamestop demo: presentation improvement, cut scenes, a bit more immersion, slower gameplay helps me actually follow what the heck is going on. Nice.

Most disappointing: no gameplay camera options (I never saw an answer as to whether we'd have multiple camera options or not and I can only assume from the demo that we will not have camera options)?? IF this does end up being true, there's a good chance I'll cancel my reservation. Zero excuses for Madden 2010 on the 360 to NOT have multiple camera options for gameplay. Again, IF that is true.

Played a game a while ago(All-Pro) where I hurt Warner early in the 3rd.....and Leinart came in


I let loose the hounds of Blitzburgh and it a was a beautiful sight...It actually felt like I got in his head a made him uncomfortable.

Sacked him 4 times and knocked him down even more. Think he was something like 3/10 for 29 yards. Bunch of Over/UnderThrown Passes.

The last few he was chucking off his back foot really fast, and again Incomplete with no ints(Like he didn't even want to attempt at dealing with the pressure I was bringing)

The gameplay and the animations are so similar to NCAA 10 that it just doesn't seem worth it. I haven't bought Madden since 2005 and I don't think I will be this year either.

I feel you on the gameplay and animations similarity, a bit. I was thinking about that last night, wondering if I may have spoiled the big hoorah of Madden 10 by buying NCAA 10 and playing it so much as I have...but Madden is my first love. This is the first NCAA I've bought since NCAA 2005 and I'm just remembering that apart of the reason why I stopped buying those was because of those reasons I've already said.

I WILL be getting Madden, just like I do every year, but this one is the ONE to have of all Maddens, it seems. Still waiting for my demo to finish downloading on my PS3. 90% there! Lol.

I played the 5 min demo a couple of times this morning, and have only one thing to say about madden 10 @ this point. "Golden". Now that doesn't mean that it's a perfect game, cause that doesn't exist, but if the demo is any indication of the finished product, I can see where madden 10 will be in heavy rotation for many months to come. Do I think it will make anyone forget nfl 2k5, no. But it may quiet those who love 2k to a fault. I would love to see more of the presentation, hear the commentary, and see what tweaks were made from this build to the release version. It seems as if we spoke, the devs listened, and while its only a demo, they delivered.

Again, its only a demo, so we should all reserve judgement until the final product is spinning in our systems..

P.s. To all those who didn't reserve the game to get the 5min demo, why didn't you? Esp since GS does online preorders for instore pick-up, and you don't have to put any money down for those. Either way, your $5 goes toward the game, so what's the problem? You can get it back...

I remember the days when having a fun game was key to buying it

today we have people who will cancel pre orders because there is no real voice cadence on Tony Romo

Some will cancel because of the lack of camera angles...

The good ol days
