the dreaded rocket catch. plus no pressure but heard this is before the pass rush tweeks(god i hope so). still looks like u can drop back 20 and throw 50 yards

Game planning in Madden will be a great addition for the hard core gamers and those who know a lot about football will definitely add a realistic feel to the game.

Madden needs to implement defensive intelligence so that the Corners and Safeties know how to play certain routes while in certain coverages.

also address safety play because many times the safety is in no mans land on pass plays

This thread is huge to i'll just say my biggest concern. WTF is up with field goals? The demo is so short you can't really get that much of a feel for it, 3 plays and the quarters over, but my goodness i barely hit a 29 yarder and my friend missed a 43 yarder and it fell on the 10 yard line...i hope they patch this.

I am loving the running game. I broke off a 79yd td run with Willie Parker in my last game. The guys get skinny to get to thru the holes is a thing of beauty.

And man o' man, there is nothing better than throwing a perfectly timed and placed fade route to the back pylon in this game. Very well done.

Thankfully there is a game speed slider because the GS demo is so slow I can't really get into it. The players are stuck in quicksand.

EA, thank you for customization in this area because everyone has different preferences. Well done.

So is the Giants-Cowboys demo only for the 360? No fair....

I love the game speed... really allows me to enjoy the play and see what's going on to make decisions... feels more like football and less like arcade.

Any chance people might start posting pictures?

I like it more and more each demo i play....but i agree with what the others are saying.

The 1 minute demo seems much more polished than the gamestop exclusive.

How are they gonna get pressure from that Defense? Only 3 guys rushed the QB. Not two many tweak's will help that. Looks like the person who made that is playing in the Madden challenge BS. That video was a joke

Oh yea probably playing on the rookie difficulty setting

Well, while my PS3 "cools off" after only having it on for about 15-20 min and then the thing shutdown on my in the middle of the demo (I believe this Madden 10 demo broke my ish!), here are my impressions (I played three games earlier today) This is from my All Pro gaming playing as the Cards:

Graphics -
  • Nicer than last year's Madden.
  • Seems like they bumped up the res to 1080i.
  • Crowds look MUCH better, now.
  • Can't wait til they get the hair physics improved for longer haired players. It's ok, for now.

Presentation
- Tight. No complaints.

Gameplay - I know this is a demo so these issues should hopefully be moot by the time the retail version releases, or, at the very least, a patch is released

  • Suction blocking is still there. Seems like I just can't get away from an offensive lineman without doing HELLA work. Lol.
  • Missed blocks are alive and kicking. Simple, straight up blocks my O-line seems to miss, A LOT. I know the Steelers are good on D but damn!!!
  • CBs and such are sometimes in a fog and just watch passes get complete
  • Demo is TOO slow, for me, but I was getting used to it before my PS3 went on me. Used to Madden 09 and NCAA 10's speed but I know Madden 10 will have the speed sliders come release.
  • Otherwise, it's Madden's "patented" gameplay. Good stuff.
Animations
  • GREAT stuff and even some extra new ones that are not in NCAA 10.
  • Run animations look great even in replays, FINALLY. Looks like they lengthened the run animations.
  • Protak looks ok. Jury still out on that although I did see my teammate try to help push the pile forward when I was being tackled by 2 players. NICE!
  • Suction tackling - Not good but it's Madden. I'm used to it.
Playbooks - GREAT stuff in there. New plays and all. Woot!

That's just a quick, brief run down. Now I wanna go chase this "Live 10 vid" that mysteriously got pulled from Youtube since I cannot play the Madden 10 demo, thanks to my PS3 shutting down on me. Hopefully, it just needs to cool off.

Agreed. D was rushing 3 and that was no rocket catch IMO. That was Fitz wide open jumping for the ball.

Also ever RC was against zone. do it against man. I haven't been able to consistently get it off yet.


I'm not worried about the RC just yet. If we can still RC and triple coverage thats when I'll pull me hair out.

I'm glad it's there because it's realistic and I'm happy that it's going to be default online. It's going to be a BLAST owning cheesers because they're not going to be able to do jack crap with the game speed like it is and the mandatory QB drop.
Very far from the truth. I like sim and only sim. This is just a hair too slow. It may only need a one level bump up and I'll be happy.

Now, if we were talking about '09 or '08 and I was saying it was "too slow" then you could call me looney and arcade-boy.

Almost rag doll physics here. I jacked Romo with Tuck right after he blitzed - he folded around the hit like, well, a rag doll. Very fluid fall to the turf - lots of that. Also timed a great hit mid-jump and flipped Williams on the back of his head - got up slow shakin his head and without the ball. The replays look sick. By the way, thank you Ian or EA for including replays on the demo- gives you a great chance to see the changes.
This is going to be just awesome in full edition.
