Nothing funny about it my friend. EA is just sad sad sad.

Dude lets praaaaaaay it plays like it finally should... I LOVE 3-4 defenses but rarely play it in Madden because it barely works, I'm crossing my fingers that double teams happen ALOT (especially with a man like Hanyesworth).

LIke Adem said and Ian said as well. This video was made a few weeks ago. Ian said alot of tuning has been done since then. I think people need to chill out. Yes the commatary sounds old as crap. But besides that the video look great. We will get a better veiw next week at E3.

Well from your above bolded post, I already see where you're trying to take this, and I'm not going to entertain you on it.

You've already made up your mind on the game from a 2 minute video of an Alpha build, so there's obviously nothing that I can tell you to make you feel differently. I hate to sound like a dick, but you come off as a typical EA basher. Good day sir.

No, man, let 'em go. This is what brought us this far. Maybe not being insulting about it like some have, but for the most part, it's the criticism that helps them prioritize what they are going to be tuning for the next month.

-Tom Hammond
+slowed down game play.

I don't know about anyone else but I would like it to be 1-2% slower without having to touch the sliders. Its better from what I see but maybe I have to watch this video more to soak it all in.

The dev team is going in the right direction though. I've bumped this game up to rental status until I see more from E3.

Im tired of having nothing to play every year to get a a real football experience. Im not the only one either. I along with 6 of my buddies have not purchased a madden since 06 on the original xbox. There is something seriously wrong there when everyone I know who use to play madden religiously doesnt even buy it anymore.

It looks like somebodies* feedback was taken real seriously, and I think that was wise The vignettes look great. I think the animations look good. I remember saying to Ian how much I liked a lot of the new tackles, so this video didn't disappoint. The post-play camera's look good. The TD Camera is finally making TD's look important. Good job. I like the branding of EA Sports as a Network here. I think they tried this last year (and over-did it), but this looks better. And now for the bad...* Where's Depth of Field? There were a lot of times that should've kicked in, but didn't (like during pregame warmups, and during the Touchdown scene). That concerns me. Tom just doesn't sound much better to me. Maybe I just need to hear more, but it's not looking too good right now. I still feel the way this stuff is being recorded and pieced together is the primary issue (I'm actually certain of that part), and the secondary (but very important) issue is the written material he's getting. I'd also like to point out the obvious level issues. Tom says one thing and then another part is said at a different volume, and the disparity is painfully obvious. Since those lines I'm referring to are context connected (during the coin toss), I find it strange that whoever edited this didn't either A. Get rid of one of those lines and connect with a different one, or B. Re-record the line that didn't level properly. I engineered music for years which is fun but can be hell to do in terms of its complexity (mostly self-taught but did work with some well-noted guys), and I know factually from experience that what I just described is pretty simple to do when all you're doing is working with spoken non-singing vocals. The difference between a good engineer and one that misses basic stuff like that is the ear. You either have the ear or you don't. If that's how the final is going to sound, then well... all I'm saying is, you either have the ear or you don't, I'll just leave it at that... I HATE that big red ball landing circle with a passion. I'll never like this. I just don't understand the point; there was nothing wrong with what was already being done. I like the fact that there is a temperature read at the toss, but hate that I can't select my own temperature in the game! There are some camera stability issues. This was the same issue we saw with Madden 09 during post-play when the early vids came out. You can see the problems in 10 during the pre-game warmups where the camera is not 100% stable and you really notice it when Roy Williams is warming up. You'll also notice it on the TD, too. The camera's are too loose, they really need to be pinned down and fixed to the position so there is no movement as a result of the player movement, not even slight movement. Again, same issue Madden 09 showed in early vids. It sorta seemed like the Eagles were celebrating losing the fumble fight, lol. I saw this in Alpha, too.

Agree 100% with this^.

It's still looking like a good step up though.

# 249 THUG-Z @ 05/28/09 11:33 PM

The Cowboys stadium looks amazing. The gameplay wasn't impressive, however. I hope the final version is better and looks like a semi-real football game.

# 250 jp7588 @ 05/28/09 11:33 PM

I thought it looked pretty good. Definitely room for improvement but if Madden 10 ends up being a game I can enjoy for about a year then I'll feel that my purchase was justified.

I hate to beat a dead horse but Hammond sounds (like a dying horse) horrible. I hate talking so negatively about a man I've never met. Maybe it's not his fault, but I don't think I've ever heard anything that bad in a video game before. I can't overstate how bad he sounds. It's really holding the presentation back. He's going to be a constant reminder of Madden 09, so much has changed for the better but we still have the same old Hammond.

On an unrelated note, I really freaking hope online franchise is in. I don't know why but I had myself convinced that it would be in and that alone had me (and all the friends that I told about it) extremely psyched. Now that we're getting close to the "big" online announcement I'm starting to get nervous

# 251 berad88 @ 05/28/09 11:34 PM

Some of the people on here are going to hate the game no matter what. They will hate hate hate. Then they will go get the game on the day it is released just so they can continue to say how much they hate it. The game could be 100% perfect and they would still hate it. I don't get some people. Some people need to grow up.
The game has come a long way and looks amazing.

It's seems like that's all you do with your time. We are supposed to be helping the Madden team improve, but instead you decide to bash them. There is no more ESPN NFL 2k5! Move on! EA Sports will have the NFL license for a while and there's nothing you can do to change that. If you continue to bash the Madden team, it won't do anything. If you try to help them, it will improve their products.

A next gen football EA basher that is. What is wrong with that? Why can they make a great soccer, hockey, and boxing game, but they cant make there biggest franchise with exclusive rights play anything close to the real thing?

This is a legitimate question, that should have been addressed years ago.

I haven't played a Madden more than 2 weeks since last-gen so I'm on the same boat as you man but I'm still willing to wait until at LEAST E3 and a demo before I start "bashing" anything. Wait till you get it in your hands to feel it out man..just a little more time..you've already waited a year

# 255 MelMan1486 @ 05/28/09 11:37 PM

I don't see why everyones bashing the vid... I think it shows serious improvement from last year and alot of stuff is being left out, and on a lower difficulty level. I wish I could just get two 8 min quarters of gameplay on All Madden.

# 256 icomb1ne @ 05/28/09 11:38 PM

Just expressing my opinions and observations that will hopefully help the gameplay tweaking that is still going on

1) The presentation looked really outstanding. From the coin toss to Romo using the phone. It truly looked like a TV broadcast. The attention to detail on the players is looking good so far. It is going to be impossible to please everybody but they are doing a good job so far

2) I thought that the pile-up for the fumble looked outstanding as well although I will be one of those people that turns the mini-game off.

Can someone of that weight and size jump that high?!?! I also feel sorry for the people in the pile.

3) Players move without much weight and momentum. When Hamlin tackled Macklin, all of Macklin’s momentum seemed to have ended at the moment Hamlin joined in. I am pretty sure Ian state that he is working on this. Also, defenders are still able to insta-turn and change directions on a dime. I am not really seeing the improvements mentioned in the player momentum blog. This is probably a major disappointment for me I think we will have to wait until M11 for any hope of this.

4) I am not sure if the o-line should be as spread out as it is. The running lanes are MASSIVE and pocket is quite large. From seeing actual gameplay footage I can see were LBzrule is coming from when he says that DEs and OLBs should be getting upfield faster. Also the play of free blockers needs some fixing.

5) Tackle animations looked decent. They were not amazing but they were not that bad either. I thought the last one were the CB tackled the WR after the TD looked particularly nice.

6) Personally, I still don’t dig the running animations. Tweaking them might have IMPROVED them but I want them to be FIXED. It’s hard to specifically point out what I don’t like about them but they seem bobbing up and down too much. Also they are holding out the ball too far from his body. Lastly, it does not look like they are running very hard but rather leisurely jogging. A lot of people seem to be fine with the running, but I don’t know, I just don’t like it.

7) Graphics were okay. I wasn’t impressed with them like I was with the screens and the Pro-Tak documentary. I guess the game will look best in replay mode. I still think that the ankles look too thin although the colored gloves and cleats look nice.

Edit: 8) Forgot to add that I am kind of disappointed that it appears they are not using a new mechanism for kicking

It has nothing to do with 2k and you know it. All the other EA Franchises are flourishing and getting better over the years, but not Madden. They have a great Soccer, Hockey, Golf, experience, and the bball and boxing are only getting better and fast.

What is wrong with the football?

P.S. Im talking pure gameplay.

For everyone who disagrees, take a look at the ESPN 2k5 intro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HB2J...eature=related . **** gets you pumped up. You see the crowd, you see the players, the music is blaring, and the commentators seamlessly interweave into the action. The intro for M10 has fancy new lettering for the logos, but aside from that, it definitely didn't get me into the game. Damnit.

Dude... it's obvious they skipped through the pre-game stuff.

They only showed 2 players.

Also, it has been said in an article that they will show players going to their seats w/ their hot dogs and stuff before the game.
