I've said it before and I'll say it again, Madden is for the old school gamer. People who have to have skills on the stick and understand offensive and defensive scemes. Not a game that does everthing for you, but a game that requires you to think to be good. Like a video game of football chess, you know. With Madden you have to have quick reaction to a hole in the lane to be able to run through it and recognize when a block is breaking down. Or even to understand how to break tackles or which side a d-linemen is being blocked from, so if he's being blocked outside you run inside if he's being pintched toward the middle you run outside and so-on and so-forth. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO RUN ON AN OUT SIDE PITCH! Seriously dude, you have to understand how to let your blocks develope and then turn it up field, not try to out run the D east and west or to the sideline hopeing to break a long run.....football is a north and south game. You can't hold on to the the turbo button in order to bust a long run! See as Madden fans or a gamer with great user skills we know that you dont hit turbo until you absolutely need to or once your out in the open field on a break away. Thats how Madden's run game works....Here is a quick break down for you scrubs or people who been hating on the game...You see, in order to manuver through the line of scrimage you have to have the ability to juke, spin, truck, stiff-arm or hesitate to break tackes. So when your running with a full head of steam or with turbo held down before you get through the line of scrimage or as soon as the ball is snapped your momentom will force a bad play. So it triggers the defenders to speed up and your o-line cant hold their blocks cause your not giving them enough time to set up their blocks or for them to even form a running lane cause you got your finger on the turbo button trying to break tackles or recognize running lanes. The game just doesnt work like that. Thats really why they slowed it down this year. You have to know how to recognize a blitz and then check down...you know i'm saying. Or how to put the right amount of touch on the ball. You have to have good user control. Period...Ya see, you dont need that in a cheeser game like 2k5. That game had great presentation and thats it! The gamplay was terrible and for apex to be so critical of ya'll erks the f*uck out of me. If I'm miss spelling words please forgive me cause I have a lot to say and Iittle time to type. So bare with me. 2k's gameplay can't touch either one of these demo's and I know it can't touch the real thing and I havent even played it yet. 2k played like a game you punched quarters into at chuckie cheese, you feel me. It required no skill and I hated the way the players moved and reacted to passes AND the way they ran for that matter! From what I can remember it was like their feet were stuck to the ground and they had a stick up their butt when they ran. Same thing with APF...terrible gameplay with that title as well. But this year we got the presentation we all been waiting for and then some.....This year we dominate! This year we OWN THE COMPITITION! People who been around this series since 93' know that Madden 10 is the best the series has ever looked and played...PERIOD! It's unfair to blaim Ian and his crew for past next gen devs who fell short in delivering anything even remotely close to what the new devs have done with this years iteration. I love it Ian, I f*ckin luv it! They have squeezed so much into one cycle its almost hard to believe. And all my friends luv it too! GREAT JOB IAN AND CREW....YOU REALLY OUT DID YOURSELVES THIS TIME....I LUV EVERYTHING ABOUT IT...AND IM TYPING IN BOLD CAUSE I WANT THESE HATERS TO KNOW THAT THEIR IN THE MINORITY THIS TIME AND WE..........US TRUE MADDEN FANS, WHO UNDERSTAND THE GAME OR IN SOME CASES PLAYED THE REAL SPORT ON MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS KNOW HOW MUCH EFFORT YOU ALL PUT INTO THIS GAME! I WANT YOU TO KNOW WE KNOW THE GAME IS NOW IN GREAT HANDS! I OWN A BARBER SHOP AND HAVE HAD IT RUNNING ALL DAY AND LET ME TELL YOU PEOPLE ARE GOING CRAZY ABOUT THIS F*CKING GAME! LET THESE LAME *** HATERS HATE AND BE CRITIC GEEKS ALL THEY WANT. WE PLAY FOR MONEY! WE RUN TOURNAMANTS, WE GO HARD AT THIS MADDEN SH*T OVER HERE IN CHICAGO! APEX AND THE REST OF THESE DUDES ACT LIKE WHAT YA'LL DO IS EASY AND THEY COULD DO MUCH BETTER....THEY DONT KNOW HOW MUCH EDUCATION IT TAKES TO LEARN VISUAL BASIC AND DEAL IN BINARY CODE.... AND HOW YOU DO THIS FOR A LIVING AND THAT YOU CANT FIT EVERYTHING WE WANT IN JUST ONE DEVELOPMENT CYCLE. BUT ME AND MY GUYS, WE KNOW AND WE UNDERSTAND....AND WE APRECIATE THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT YOU'VE PUT IN THIS YEAR AND THE AMOUNT OF COMMUNICATION YOU BEEN GIVING US AS WELL. NOW EVERYONES COMMUNICATING WITH THEIR AUDIANCE FROM FIFA TO NBA LIVE....SO KNOW THIS....ABOUT 15-20 DUDES ARE GOING TO INVEST IN YOUR GAME....CAUSE THAT WHAT IT IS A SMART INVESTMENT. THE RETURN IS SO SWEET HOW CAN WE NOT SPEND THAT 60$. LOL. LIKE THEY SAY IN VEGAS...."SCARED MONEY DON'T MAKE MONEY".....LOL. ONLY ON THE GAMBLING SIDE THAT IS! SO BIG UPS TO YOU IAN! YOU DID YOUR THING MY DUDE...KUDOS TO YOU, EA, AND YOUR WHOLE F*CKIN STAFF! WE GOT MADD LUV FOR YOU ALL HERE IN THE WINDY CITY!

Right on dude. I've only played the demo once but this was actually pretty annoying. I was struggling to break the tackle or bring a guy down then Bam! I am zoomed way in and I guess the play is over.

Ian confirmed "Slow"

here are rocket catches that i did on the 360 demo, all madden against the cpu. i was messing with cover 3, cover 4, and few different man coverages and was still able to do it. heres a link to my videos. these were done effortlessly. http://www.youtube.com/user/MaddenRedZone

wish i had a photo of it, but I threw a fade pass to larry fitz in single coverage. as the pass was crossing the field it was thrown over a steelers LB. The ball was a good 3-4 feet above him. NO JUMPING!. A legit TD pass.. I dont think I had ever seen something like that before.
