It has been said that if someone calls the same play over and over that the D players will react sooner like they know whats coming because they in fact do.

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.

I'm seriously not trying to discourage you from doing what you want but the amount of videos you see showing glitches is no indictment of Madden itself. Making these kind of videos became the "cool" thing to do. Everyone is looking for their Youtube channel to blowup. Monkey see monkey do. You can hunt for bugs in any video game and make these kinds of videos all day long because ITS JUST A VIDEO GAME. Really don't know what some are expecting sometime. If those weird things happen every play it's a major problem otherwise big deal. I wonder how many videos we all could make showing what the game does right. Then the geek boys finding glitches would look kinda silly.

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.

I have no idea what your beef is with me, but I'm going to ask you to please get over it and stop with this nonsense. I'm posting my impressions. Either deal with them or put me on ignore so you don't have to read them, I don't really care.

But I'm not about to go round and round with you, nor will I adhere to any of your "suggestions". This is an impressions forum. People post their impressions of the game both good and bad. There are those who are fans of the series and there are those who hate the series. Its up to each individual reader to make their own sound judgment based off of what they read.

I'll post what I feel as I feel it and people can view them how they wish. If they agree fine, if they don't, fine. I really don't care. What I don't care for is someone challenging my opinions/impressions simply because they disagree with them.

With that said, I'm done with this and I'm going to ask that you please stop making me out as some "bad guy" simply for having an opinion that you disagree with.

Thanks and take care...

well then make the videos. its the "ITS JUST A VIDEO GAME" attitude that allows EA to steady put out poor quality games and make money doing it. also i think most of dont know a difference between glitches and bad programming

Some of those weird plays does happen often and can easily go against your favor. Some of the issue can occur during the 4th QTR within a two minute warning and can cost others the game. People say it's just a video game. The game is marketed as a simulation. I expect these errors from NFL Tour not Madden. "Everything you see on Sunday". I don't see players turning around in circle and warping on to someone to bring them down on Sunday.

I think I understand what you're trying to get across. Yes, part of the allure of videogame forums, is getting educated and intelligent opinions and answers. But, it still is just a forum. And people can and will change their minds later, based on more playtime. That's why it's best to take others opinions with a grain of salt, and make up your own mind.
My biggest problem last year was the abscence of any kind of running game. I could've dealt with Robo QB, players running out of bounds, etc. But, I couldn't even pretend to enjoy it without being able to effectively run the ball. That's why MY mind changed so much last year. So, this year, the run game is much improved, and right now I'm pretty happy, and content. I undertstand this engine is crap, and at this point it's all we got. So, I applaud Ian and his team for truly working on it, and showing so much effort. The game seems much improved, period, even way beyond the running game.

It's very frustrating that it's so unreliable. And to top it off, it seems that the CPU plays perfect pass defense. They press at the line and hold my guys there, and when they do release they are actually running slightly ahead of my receiver on their routes. Clearly the potential is there for the AI to play competent defense (even too competent), so why the heck does it only happen for the CPU and not my CPU teammates??

Good point. However, I seem to have an easier time playing with Pittsburgh on defense. I wonder if this is just a matter of the better team playing better. Yet, I do think the CPU defense plays smarter than when a human is playing with them. That is one of the things I don't like. I don't understand why developers always dumb down the human defense. It's very irritating. Just let my guys play defense to - please.

That being said, I'm still excited about the game and can't wait. Plus, this is the demo so some final tuning has yet to take place.

Please tell us how often these errors occur.

RMoody, told me it happened randomly during his game 3 times out of 50 plays. That's not often.

I've seen it no more than 2 times per game and they don't happen every game, either. Let's not forget, it's just a demo here too.

People keep posting repeats in here as well.

My request would be to please check to see if the negative video you want to embed here is already posted. Just clicking on the last page doesn't cut it.
