You had the game early and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread...until you played it enough, got sick of it and then decided Madden 09 for the PS2 was the greatest thing since sliced bread. lol Nothing personal, but perhaps you, like many others get excited about new releases and let your enthusiasm take over. You're doing the same thing this year, saying you see nothing wrong with the running game, etc. There's much improved in the demo, but a lot of the traditional Madden problems remain. If you don't mind one or two lineman going unblocked on every running play, fine, but let's not mislead people that there's "anything in the running game that presents a problem". You hyped the hell out of Madden 09, now you're doing the same thing with 10, let's hope when we get the retail version, you're not going back on your hundreds of OMG! posts about 10 like you did with 09. If you're going to dominate the Madden impressions forums with posts on practically every single page of hundred-plus page threads like you did last year, people should know how much you LOVED Madden 09, until you threw it under the bus for the PS2 version.

All I'm doing is posting MY impressions. What people do with them or how they take them is on them, not me. I'm not misleading anybody. I'm doing the same thing in here that everyone else is doing, posting my opinions/impressions about a demo and I'll do the same when the retail version comes out.

Yes, I liked '09 and yes, I bought the PS2 version later in the year. So what? If people are viewing MY impressions and using them to gauge whether or not they should buy the game or not, then I need to look into starting up my own website and charging people a membership fee to view my "highly regarded" impressions.

Take care.

Yes, it's a demo, and I pray it's not the final build but the more I play the more I see. I was just playing a game and I threw a pass to Breaston the ball would have hit him perfectly in the chest except it went right through his body and was picked of by Troy Palomolu *sp. That is just crazy. Should not be happening. I'm going to reserve judgment on the game until I play the full retail version. If it still has all these issues EA needs to do the right thing and give up the exclusive license so someone else can have a shot at it. I respect Ian and his team for what they are trying to do. I think it's great that they have come here and interacted with us on these forums, and I am in no way bashing them or their work. But........ To be continued August 15th.

That's because everyone is trying to take a whack at good ole EA. Playing the 5 minute demo, you can't deny it's much better than 09.

I don't go looking for glitches, if they occur, I note them and keep tally at the end of the game.

The most glitches I've had are two per game. Maybe that's a number a lot of people can't overlook, but as long as the game play is much improved, those rare glitches here and there don't bother me.

I like the demo a lot. It's hard to really pin point the issues until the game comes out and you can really get into it, but so far it's good IMO.

I know they're your impressions. That goes without saying.

To say you only "liked" Madden 09 is misleading. You LOVED it, you literally dominated the early impressions thread with hundreds, possibly over a thousand posts on every single page gushing over how great it was.

You're doing the same thing this year.

If you're going to dominate these forums it's only fair that people know you were a one-man human hype machine for Madden 09. Why not put it in your sig? Something like: DISCLAIMER: I LOVED MADDEN 09, the only thing I could find wrong with it was that it was so awesome I was mad that my body required sleep, so my impressions of Madden 10 might be a tiny bit skewed by my love for the series.

Surely you know where I'm coming from, let's not be coy here.

That's exactly how I feel roadman. I'd rather have as much fun I can than have a couple glitches in a game piss me off to where I refuse to notice that the game is improved. It's a video game. Stuff like that is going to happen. The more serious you take it the less fun you'll have.

Wish I could save a replay in the demo and show this closeup but I can't.

I didn't realize it was still an issue with Madden 10 with the ball literally traveling through the receiver instead of him catching it or him dropping it. Have seen closeup evidence of this twice now and it's disappointing. Either drop it or catch it, but don't turn into transparent man. Sheesh.

That's usually been true. But, I think this year is much more divided between those who think there were still only small improvements vs. those who think the changes are huge this year. To me, this game seems so different from any other recent madden. I hated 09, even more than 08. The run game was atrocious last year. Not that there was much of a run game at all. But, 09 still looked like 06, 07, and 08. This game doesn't resemble those games at all, IMO. I guess it's plain to see from the graphics upgrade, but, the gangtackling is unlike anything I've ever seen before gameplaywise. There's alot more gameplay in this demo I haven't seen before as well. But, it also has some nasty, very ugly animations, I wish I'd never seen, though, too.
