I think people's expectations are too high. It's still Madden, if it's better than 09 then I'm pysched to play.


Get off your high horse's, ITS A VIDEO GAME QUIT WHINING...

The gameplay is basically the same as 09. I don't see any innovation or change to the gameplay. The only thing that looks new to gameplay is "Pro Tack" and it rarely happens and when it does it looks like a hug fest.

less is more Apex!

also the guy missed a tackle...whats wrong with a SPECIAL TEAMs guy missing a tackle?

No doubt the animation coulda been better but the issue he's pointing out is not a issue IMO maybe the guy makes that big hit on play #2.....mistakes seperate elites from average....

looking foward to more SHORT and to the POINT vids of the demo Mr Apex......
amen.

Apex you show great understanding of the game of football and understand how video games work too, but you need to shorten up the vids to keep people's attention.

I only say this because I'm a fan of your advocacy for improvements, but you could produce 30 second videos that get to the point rather than a 5 minute video that just drags and drags.

less is more!

No, it's far from terrible. As a matter of fact this is probably the best Madden since Madden 06 on the Xbox for me. It's just not a big step forward in the gameplay department. Presentation is much improved as there are stat overlays after just about every play. But at the end of the day, gameplay is still what keeps you playing games and I don't see a lot of difference between this year and last year.

Oh and the button mashing to recover a fumble is a joke. Worst idea ever. I guess I'll lose every fumble online because some 14 year old kid can mash buttons faster than me.

There are major improvements in terms of presentation and minimal improvements in gameplay.

The demo is very good, IMO. The slower gameplay is great and more realistic. The graphics have been upgraded noticeably, and I love the PRO-TAK. Passing seems a little slow but its not that bad. Running is good. Probably going to buy this. Great game!

Maybe it's me but I thought Clark's animation before the point of impact was terrible.

I have played both the public and extended versions. The game is looking awesome. The details and presentation are outstanding...

The public version appears to move quicker in terms of player speed but the extended version, even with an accelerated clock, allows the player to get into a flow....

This game secretes football...I have played every version of Madden that has ever been released and this, by far, is the best. Huge leap over last year....

Eli Manning has his throw motion dead on.

I will post more videos from both demos.
It's great to see that they fixed that horrible glitch where the ball was on the QBs wrist when he throws.

That pass actually looked like an Eli Manning pass from the beginning to the end! I just might have to upgrade Madden 10 from a rental to buy....maybe

I have seen tons of new and improved line blocking and new and much improved run game

Not to mention the sweet passing game where it matters the way you set to throw the ball

This is a big step up in gameplay if you are a madden fan

If you are a madden ***** then no need to play it because you just want a new game and nothing can please you
I agree. It was amazing that I actually had time to find a receiver. You can definitely feel a difference when running with a back like Brandon Jacobs.

The animations are outstanding from breaking arm tackles to stumbling and regaining balance. Regardless of what people think of EA, these demos show a very strong product....

The Playstation Network updates later in the day so PS3 users need to have patience. I have no idea why this is but the PSN updates around 6 p.m. EST, I believe....
 
# 477 TreyIM2 @ 07/23/09 01:57 PM
Sucks having to wait til the PSN store updates before the demo code is active. I've been trying my code all day in hopes that Sony did something "special" with the demo to let it activate without it having to be staged with the PSN store stuff. And due to the fact that the US PSN Store doesn't update til late in the day, sometimes even late at night, on Thursdays, the wait is, uhh, painful.
Plus I keep reading the posts here. I KNOW this game is gunna be HOT! I LOVE NCAA 10's gameplay and Madden 10's is supposed to be even better.

You have 50+ pages that you can refer to for opinions on the slower gameplay...

They should've at least included the Game Speed options.
The game will have a slider to adjust the speed. I agree that the game plays a little too slow for my taste but I like it. The past few editions of Madden didn't allow the gamer to play, just hike and throw the ball as quick as possible....

I believe everyone will find a happy medium. Slowing the speed in the demo has allowed me to actually see things that I haven't seen in Madden in years. Good pass blocking (although I am still seeing the suction block) and sweet animations.....

The demo is not bad. I liked NCAA10 so I knew M10 would come out pretty OK. However, I'm not happy at how EA handles their demos. How cheap do you have to be for 1min quarter demos? Come on EA, it's a demo for crying out loud. One minute quarters allows you to execute 2 plays a quarter; that's not a demo. I tried the Cowboys and Giants today it was horrible. Now that I have the Steelers and Cards the game feels a lot better. The consumer get's to try out the game a lot more and get a good feel for it. One minute is just being a J**.

Overall, not a bad demo. I've noticed some details. I'm not sure if this is new, but I saw the scoreboard tick up instead of jump to actual score. I'm still not happy about the sprint+juke combo. I don't like how they cancel each other out.
