The game truely felt differnt!! In a great way!!

2 things I loved playing at the Horseshoe when taking the kick-off, how great does the staduim look??

And I'm sure its been posted here but the WR for Ohio St. made a back of the endzone TD catch and planted both feet in bounds it was done perfect!! If we can except that from the retail and from Madden this will be a great year of EA Football.. Well done EA Well Done!!

Putting the tempo on aggressive doesn't make you go to no huddle, it makes your team go to the line faster after you call a play. And if you put it on conservative it makes your guys take there time getting to the line, that would be good to use if you wanna chew up clock late in the game.

the game did feel better than last year, but madden 10 still played better. there is still a gliding motion from the players, especially when they go in motion on offense.. I still feel that the sideline catches could be tweaked a little better. The camera is a little to far back. ( maybe there will be more options on the final version.). The lighting is very nicely done this year.

i didnt see too many gang tackles, but the running movement was done very well.

overall, the game is much improved from last year. At first, the game didn't blow me away, but the improvements from last year are noticed and i'm sure with more time playing i will see more upside to the gameplay

Cons I am really disappointed other QB ratings didn't make its way into the game. It makes the QBs vary less than they should be. Especially, if the QBs don't run much. Still in question for me I played against OSU 7 times and Pryor ran twice and passed quite a bit- scrambling QBs rarely ran last year. Not saying its broken, just saying its something to keep an eye on. Fatigue was almost non existent last year. Even with formation subs- i hope its much bigger factor

I agree about the player models, they are good for the most part. When I said graphics, I was more referring to the jaggies. The games with clear weather during the day seem to have a ton of jaggies, the games where it is raining or overcast seem to have less.

I have seen the CPU QB scramble and run about 4 times in my games. Would like to see more, but it still is a bit of an improvement from last year where they didn't scramble at all.

The last game I played against OSU Prior took off twice on scrambles for 15 and 20 yards. Only bad part is he fumbled at the end of both of them, but at least the CPU ripped off a couple of good runs with him. Still haven't seen one designed run from Pryor in three games, which is concerning.

Also keep in mind with the regards to the CPU QB not running/scrambling that much, that most of the QB's in the demo are not really known for their running ability besides Pryor.

I liked everything, but I did have a problem with the the deep ball. It looks like these Qbs were throwing 60 yd bombs with ease. I also think the pocket should be improved. Love the running game, and the defensive movement. Wish there was a broadcast replay first, then they could do the close up replays.

Played all 4 matchups last night.

Overall impressions are, the game feels real smooth...the AI blocking is noticeable, I like the autosprint feature, though it bit me a few times, so I turned it off.

On the read option, the DE that the QB is reading still makes too fast of a move back to the QB once he bites. Now it could be that I did it wrong, but the DE went down, which is the sign for the QB to keep the ball...but by the time Pryor got to the corner, the DE who was almost instantaneously at the Center, was able to go through a guard and a tackle blocking down, without being touched, and tackle the qb for a 3 yard loss.

that tells me the read option blocking while better, is still not working right.

draw plays finally work, and the ICON doesn't cover up half the LOS now.

Graphics are tight, real nice. I think in the rain, on a grass field, the uniforms should get dirtier quicker.
