A lot of people evaluated Madden 10 based off of videos and some even gave early scores of the game, but let me tell you, play the game first! To me, this game is awesome, but if you are skeptical, don't judge the game and say that others are making excuses for EA when you haven't played it yet. To be honest, it took me awhile to get used to the game speed. The first couple of games that I played made me hate the slowed down game speed, but later I adjusted to it, and it feels much more realistic. The game overall FEELS realistic and looks like a game on NBC's Sunday Night Football. Some people have complained about the physics in Madden 10, but they aren't that big of a problem. In fact, they are GOOD, not terrible, and not great. Overall, the demo gave a good taste of what to expect and I'm thinking that this game may surpass Madden 2005 as the best game in the Madden NFL franchise. Hopefully with all of the other additions that were left out of the demo make this game great, so we'll see on August 14th.

I agree. I am reallying liking the demo and the new speed although Normal may be a bit better but we'll see when the game comes out.

Awesome awesome demo. But first let me run through my problem. So Midnight this morning i decided to download the 1 qaurter demo first. As that was downloading i then put in the code for the gamestop exclusive.

So i notice that they're both the same size. Anyway, i go get a snack and come back and in my active downloads i have nothing. I get into the demo, wanting to play the gamestop one first. The first thing i notice is that in my games space theres only 1 demo instead of two, but that didn't draw my attention too much. I get into the game and its only the 1 min qaurter one, i was dazzled, where was the gamestop one?? I went back to my games and there was still only one demo there.

I then went to my harddrive and looked it up, and it said i downloaded both, so i decided to delete the demo, once i did that, the gamestop one came in, so in conclusion; we can't have both demos???

On the game itself, awesome awesome awesome. I must say, the first big difference is definitely the speed of the game as well as the momentum. The players really do feel like they have weight to them and you do see and feel them cutting every move instead of magically turning on the a dime.

The graphics have definitely improved as well as the player models which really makes everything stand out. So does the individual QB stances. The demo did have faults like clipping in some sections, but thats to be expected. I'm very satisfied with the overal qaulity though. The game has really come a good way from 09. The pocket really does exist and the rumbling feature even though subtle really helps.

I'm not going to nitpick every little thing, the game is awesome and i can't wait to start my franchise and get some games online.

You can have both demos on your hard drive you just have to go to your my games section and click all games and they both will be there to play atleast thats how it works for me.

Finally got the demo downloaded. I must say.....its Madden. With the added presentation its pretty good.

Presentation was pretty much all I've been waiting on for the last couple of years actually.

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.

I find a different issue every play. I don't need a video. I've played the demo myself and notice the same problems. It doesn't matter if it happens two times in a game, one of those times can cost you the game.

I can't even run past the 30 yard during kick returns because I'm swarmed with defenders everywhere with no where to go. When I found out why, I realize that none of the blockers actually block. Two defenders mimic each other simultaneously in swimming past the players that supposedly be blocking and guess what, The two players that suppose to be block, they also mimic each other simultaneously. They both go for a low block and miss.

I didn't try the demo just to look for glitches and bugs. They're obviously noticeable when a play just look awkward or something just don't feel right in the way the play developed.

Yes, Yes, it's just a demo. Madden 09' was just a demo as well but you know what, that didn't mean anything when I ended up buying it.

madden 10 is only better than 09 which is not saying much. NFL wise this game still lacks in alot of areas. i think people only care about the end results, they dont care how they do it but as long as its done. people like myself apex, cohouse, moody and others the understand the frustration of EA care about how that end result happens and does it relates to what we see on sunday's
