Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I hope they do something about the scorecard overlay at the end of the game. This is also broken. I know they couldn't have purposely done this where the doggone card is blocking the view of the coaches and players interacting at mid-field, or the player of the game being interviewed.

This has to be broken, there is just no way this was done purposely. Just no way.

Fine, you dislike the game, mems1224. See you next year, then. There's little I can say. For me, the passing is much improved. I can time routes without worrying that a LB is going to make a super jump and pick it off. I've seen plenty of replays where WR/CB jostling happened, and it even turned into a defensive pass interference once. The throwing motion of the QB feels nature to me, as does the velocity and angle of the ball.

I like that the camera pans and allows me more view of the field. I like being able to feel when pressure is on me, as a QB (in each game I played, I was sacked at least 2 times, and pressured much more). The running game feels more fluid to me, I'm able to make contact with defenders and feel like I can do something. Gang tackling is a nice addition, I don't have to worry about one man missing a tackle, and then a big gain due to me not being able to help with the tackle until after the first animation was over (a la 09).

The general color of the game is nice. I don't miss the overlay at all. I love how the Steelers' helmets reflect the white of the Cardinals jerseys when a player is tackled, etc.

I could go on and on about a lot of things. Yes, there were glitches, and there were bugs, but I know that this isn't the final build.

I DL the 1 minue demo fro Madden 10, I was pretty impressed, but playing in the snow in NY, saw all the footprints on the field, but did anyone notice that the uniforms never got dirty? At least I didnt see it, maybe becuse of only 1 minute quarters, but I hope that field degradation and dirty uniforms are there when playing in bad weather. What do you guys think?

Fight for the fumble is lame and unrealistic. Bottom line. I've seen it about 5x and each time, my guy jumps on it first, 2 or more guys jump on it late and because I didn't hit different buttons fast enough in a span of 5+ seconds, my guy doesn't come out with it? I could definitely do without this "feature". Thanks.

i agree with you 1000000000000000%. the guy that came up with the fight for the fumble idea must be smoking alot of weed when he came up with idea. they should have made the first guy that jump on the ball get the ball 90 percent of the time. the botton mashing seem childish to me.

I think they look pretty good this year.

To the og poster. I think they're fine. The game looks great to me.

Oh and another thread comparing 2k and EA.

If I have a gripe, it's how the kicker walks after a field goal. There's no trot in his step, he looks like he's sliding across the ground.
