I run the ball, juke to the right, my OL actually knocks Berry off-balance to the point that he's standing on one leg about to fall backwards on the left of me but manage to warp into me and tackle me down. I would like to know why a certain play didn't work, wouldn't you? My demo includes an instant replay.

My demo does too, but I don't sit there and analyze every single play because of a few reasons:

1) I don't have the time. It's long enough to play a game and added to replaying a play a few times per play, would take away my enjoyment and the the time I added onto playing a game. I don't want to go to divorce court at this stage.

2) If a few plays look out of place during the game, I'm not going to fret about it.

I'm not saying this game or any game is without flaws. If it's a situation where there were flaws with every play, then I'd say the game was broken.

That's just not true.

I am not seeing a demo download for Madden 10 at all on PSN for PS3. I just want to get the regular one minute demo. Can I get some help on this? Thanks!

A perfect example of this would be when I was playing Mass Effect a few weeks back on PC. During a fight somehow a bug happened where I was blasted and went THROUGH the roof and just kept going and had to reboot the game to continue.

I have played Mass Effect 3 seperate times, this only happened once I am not gonna hate on the game for something that happens very rarely.

Overall Madden 10 is awesome, and is up there in regards to quality to NFL 2k5.

Steelcitychamp the 1 minute demo will be out July 30th on the PS3.

I don't think EA blew anything. The game has many many improvements over 09. Yes there are bugs and glitches. I want to see the retail version before I pass judgment. There was 2-3 weeks left to polish and tune the game, not to mention patch 1 which I hear is going to be live on launch day.

That said, I do see some of the issues in the demos, but they are not game killers by any means, at least IMO. I also don't get what the major problem with the rocket catch is. Players catch the ball like that all the time. Especially Fitz.

My problems are the pass rush: Should be fixed with sliders

Psychic DB's: Testing this out over and over and I have not been able to reproduce it.

Lead blockers turning back to the middle of the field: I am hoping this is fixed in the retail version.

All in all, its a solid step forward for the Madden team. If you don't see that then Im sorry, you must not want to like the game, or the game just isn't for you. Is that your fault? No. But its just the way it is. If you expected a completely different game then you were wrong to think that. Its the same engine. Either you like it/tolerate it, or you hate it.

I hope they minimize the display screen so we can see the cutscenes at halftime and game end more clearly. In the demo they take up the whole screen practically. Have any of the ea guys said anything about this?

Love the demo btw (the snow effects are great).

After reading all the different opinions from this thread I broke down and went to my local GS store and put some money down on M10 received my code and went home and downloaded the demo.
After playing a couple of games, I came away thinking that this may be a pretty decent game. I was able to get a ground game going with the Steelers but had difficulty stopping the Cardinals passing game. I said earlier that I was not going to get the GS demo, but after reading a great number of responses I am glad I got the demo. I did notice that I received only one card, meaning all the people who received packets of codes received those in error but that is gamestops fault for not informing their employees. I understand that this was only a demo but with a little tweaking we may have hit the motherload. I read in some responses that the demo featuring the Cowboys vs. The Giants was a little more polished I will find out this thurday. But so far, Good Job Ian, and the gentlemen at EA sports.
