Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

[ch46647]

In my opininon (and I would like to hear others thoughts on this) I think the Cowboys vs Giants demo is a significant jump in quality over the Superbowl demo. The graphics are literally twice as crisp and the game seems much smoother and plays at a more realistic speed.

My buddy who doesnt play much Madden came over and we first played the 5 minute demo. Then I put on the 1 minute demo and after the first few plays he said "This is twice as good as that last demo, Madden is back"

Take from it what you want....

the only thing that i really dont like is the controller vibrating anytime somebody gets close to the qb... for some reason that makes me panic and just throw it to somebody even if they are covered... but wat really makes me mad is when THERE IS NOBODY AROUND AND IT VIBRATES LIKE THERE IS... ill look down and see that the closest guy is on the ground... and later ill look down and they are being blocked... i hope i can change that in the settings... i really dont like that

You must have not played a lot of demos...many demos are way different than the final build.

Since you are in the know, the demo build we have right now was a demo that was produced 2-3 weeks before the Madden team did their last tuning for the game.

not with just 2 weeks left

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.

the problem is there is no counter animation besides tackling but a guy like fitz is not doing to drop too many times. if they gone have a rocket catch on offense then the defense has to have another legitimate counter or else its an exploit

There has also been a confirmed day 1 demo from Ian. Seriously man look how different the NCAA demo was from the final version. I already think that this version of the game is amazing, and if we see that kind of leap from this version to the retail version it will be better than NFL2K5.
