Madden NFL 10 Review

Is the game is a lot of fun, that of course it deserves a 9, cause thats the point of me playing this game to HAVE FUN

One thing I'd like to add as an OLDDDDD Time game player from the Pong days. Do not forget this fact and remember where you heard it:

When these games were in hardcore programming and design, the recession was the deepest. What's the most popular game system with developers right now? The Wii. They can make more money off making some dummas Wii game than making a really, really solid 360/PS3 title.

So, the way business works is, the place where money is being made is The Wii. Guess who gets the best programmers and artists and funds?

Well, Madden is your exception PS3/360 guys. It makes so much money, it has major funding and killer talent at EA.

HOWEVER ..

There's gonna be a lot reviews on here for this year's edition of games from major companies that unless the version is on The Wii, it kinda sucks.

It's where the money is.

Madden is THE ONE exception. It's pretty much the biggest videogame of the year.

So, consider that BIG perspective when you are divvying up your future purchases.

You may just want throw "this" Madden in a pile of "buy" on the 360/PS3.

Who knows what The Wii lay waste to in the next nine months of game releases? But something tells me, not god. Not good.

Madden has the financial clout.

.. and that's news from The Real World Overview ...

I'd give this game a 9 also and I think I look for similar things in football games as last year the more I played 09 I hated it also. This year is the opposite. Online Franchise has me very excited.. there's a lot of potential for many hours of online fun with my friends within that.

Good review. With my short time withit, I didn't really see anything that just Pee'd me off.

One thing - It seems like there were more stat overlays in the demo then in the retail. Maybe it's just me?

You know it doesn't work like that though. If someone looks at Madden 10's score and The Show's score, most conclude that there are equal games in terms of quality. Even the staunchest Madden fan would have a hard time saying that's true.

Like I've said before, there is no standard for Madden. It certainly isn't stellar sports games such as NHL 09, The Show, NBA2K9 because Madden 10 gets similar or better scores without being as good.

Is it because of the competition? There is none to really compare it to and the latest competition's gameplay is still years ahead of Madden in some major areas. Or is it because they've improved? If so, I don't think that's enough to warrant a 9.

If you are saying it's just an improvement, I could see where that would have some merit.

I just feel the difference is between night and day from 09 to 10.

If you don't, that's your opinion.

What has better graphics, Madden 10 on PS3 or Madden 10 on X-Box 360?

If this game is a 9's, APF 2k or NFL 2k5 are 10's Regards

Ummmm what? 2K5 and APF running animations look like C-3PO trying to carry a football. And APF commentary was 99% ported right out of 2K5. Not to mention the various problems with ******** secondary AI in 2K5. Keep trying.
