Is this game really that awful??

[rckabillyRaider]

with all the complaint/negative threads (probably like 9 out of 10 threads) here one would think that is the case and one of the worst games ever made, but IMO it is not a bad game at all. Its actually very solid and probably one of the best Maddens made to date besides 05 on the ps2.

Of course there are some very glaring issues like the flats which are pretty money against any defense, lack of cpu run game, QB's that dont have a blind spot, bad run blocking AI for both human and cpu, lack of a consistent pass rush, and many more (damn, it does sound like this game is all jacked up huh?). With all that though, I still am really enjoying this game and keep looking forward to my next franchise game, already 6 games into my regular season. With madden 09, I never even played past the pre-season. Thats how hideous that game was.

I guess it's just human/consumer nature to raise a ruckus and complain when something is a bit off. When do you see somebody go back to a store and demand to speak to a manager just to praise their service or product? Yup, it don't happen too often.

Anyways, game on guys!

I'm not picking up on too much of a "panic in the streets" vibe with any of the feedback, OP.

More than anything, it seems like dudes REALLY want to LOVE Madden 10, but there's a few small issues preventing it from being 'close to perfect'. Guys are passionate and just asking for a few loose ends to get tied up before moving on to Madden 11. Seems pretty normal.

Sure, haters are going to hate - but no, it's not awful - nor do I see any outrage. In fact, I've never read so much positive stuff on OS...like ever.

In relation to where it SHOULD be at this point in its legacy, considering the hardware capabilities they have yeah its pretty bad.

The game is pretty damn good, probably the best of the next-gen games.

Its a hell of a game.

Every game has issues and this games issues aren't half as bad as any other football game I've played on next gen

I agree there. I havent been this much into my franchise since 05 when I actually played about 15 seasons. It looks like I will at least hit a couple seasons on this game before the basketball games start taking some of my game time.
