Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

[kgbrolic]

Yeah, I've seen plenty of comments and the people that are whining will still buy the game. They have NO choice because it's the only NFL football game available. LOL reminds me of Dave Chappelle's *****'s Ball.

Anyway, the fight for the fumble was full of win. I made the CPU fumble the first play of the demo yesterday...cracked him dead on. I like the fact that you have to press different buttons... its like the ball is moving around in the pile, like it does in real life.

Yea, if I'm downloading something, then proceed to try and play a game it says "download stopped". So if I'm downloading something that takes a while, I cant watch dvds or play game discs until its done.

I'm sitting there like, man, I'm not even about to wait a gang of hours without getting a game of fight night in, or watching Afro samurai resurrection, lol.

Enjoyed the demo. It started kind of weird with the Steelers players being on the Cardinals sideline for the flyover...but whatever.

I played as the Cardinals on All-Pro and the Steelers dominated me taking a 14-0 lead into the final 3 minutes.

Long story short: I get the ball, drive down the field and score a touchdown to make the score 14-6 with 2:40 to play after inexplicably missing the extra point.

I kick off, Steelers get the ball and a first down then I stop them to force a punt with just 1 minute to go.

I take the ball on a 7 play 80 yard drive and on the game's final play I find Larry Fitzgerald in the back of the endzone but it looks to be out of bounds. To my amazement, the referees discuss it and in the end signal TOUCHDOWN! which made the score 14-12.

Now it comes down to the 2-point conversion. I find Beannie Wells wide open in the flat and he would walk into the endzone...that's if he catches it. He dropped it and immediately Steelers FS Ryan Clark (my former high school starting secondary mate) puts his arms in the air and Tomlin and crew storm the field after winning the "Super Bowl."

What a heck of a way to re-start my Madden career after about a 5 year layoff. Despite the loss, I had a blast.

Played through the GS demo last night, or rather ran plays and watched the action. I have to say that I am impressed.

Pros-presentation is like the 2nd coming of 2k5, and that's saying something.
-Crowd noise rocks this year. Madden, to me, has always had inferior crowd noise which made it feel sterile, not this year. It absolutely rocks. Gets loud in the right moments, quiet in others.
-the kickers actually have an NFL leg this year. Neil Rackers(CPU) kicked a 56 yarder on me. Excellent!!! No more 45 yarders that fall short like other Maddens, these guys can kick it true to life.
-Speed is perfect. love the slower speed. better for cuts and running routes. mores strategy, not so much twitchy luck.
-Graphics are incredible. They got rid of that mysterious blue haze that permeated every game last year. Animations are better also.
-I saw jostling off the line on bump and run coverage, and it messed up the timing of my routes. Excellent!!!

Cons-It's not August 14th. Off to work now. More later.

Oh...One more thing - Not really feeling the beeper thing on the play clock. Players don't hear that in real life and it is just another one of those things that reminds you that you are indeed playing a video game.
