Madden NFL 10 Hands-On Preview

[Jump]

Nice write up.

I'm just praying that there are no franchise killing bugs. If there isn't I can see myself going deep into franchise.

I'm waiting to hear about the Offline Franchise Mode. That's the "deal-breaker" for me. I don't really care about Online Franchise. I plan on buying this game used anyway.

First of all, not every gamer wants "SIM".

If a 0 on the slider means 0 complete passes and a 100 on the slider scale means 100% complete passes than it becomes very easy to edit the slider to however you want it, and you can have a bigger range of completion percentages depending on how you want to play the game.

On the other hand, if 0 on the accuracy slider computes to roughly 50% (+/-) completion and 100 on the slider equals 60% completions, it's not only difficult to get the slider where you want it, it seriously cuts down on the possible range you can have.

The bigger range in the sliders, the better IMO and to reiterate, everyone plays the game differently and not everyone wants to play a SIM game.

Anyway, good write up - looking forward to hearing more about the offline franchise though.

Hammond just sounds so unimpressed that it makes me feel bad. What more do you want Hammond! What more do you want?!

A fair preview, Steve, thank you. You hit positives and negatives, covered a lot of stuff, and managed to sound optimistic without the ZOMG! factor (just for you Chase).
