I'm pretty pissed at the 1 min demo thing...no reason for demos to not be 5min....you cant get a feel...any who question about replay in the final build...will I be able to replay the whole play? I intercepted Romo on the goal line and returned it for a TD and went to watch the replay and it started around the 50 yard mark

NCAA 10 is wack. so what did they do at the same time besides cash there checks after it was release. ncaa 10 is madden 09, a hand me down but thats my opinion

So I can't DL both demos? When I go to it on the dashboard it just says play demo.

I hope the final build has some major changes in regards to blocking.

well, tell me a football game with GOOD gameplay(and don't say 2k5, since it has worse gameplay then the Madden 10 demo)

HUH?? too much in one spot...there has been plenty of time to fix the gameplay (2006-2010). All I am asking is for people to block who they are supposed to. Not too much to ask at all.

Yes you can. After downloading both go to download history and both are listed there. Pick one and hit A. Then select play

Just take a look at APF 2k8 and you tell me if everyone is not blocking (or attempting to engage) who they are supposed to on a pitch out.
Enough Said.

Is it me or is this demo/game just too damn slow? I understand everyone has wanted a slower game every year, but I thought 09 was slower than most years if not all, and now 10 is ridiculous. If the retail is this slow, I may pass this year. I played the demo for 3 minutes and fell asleep waiting for Willie parker to get to the outside. Unrealistic as hell imo, the NFL is the fastest league on earth but the game is pure turtle speed.

Actually I was just agreeing with an earlier impression of the game by JET SUFFERER. I agree with what he had to say.

Finally played the demo and I had fun. How I know that is simple. I got crushed both times. The game play has many nuances that will take some hard playing time to figure out. There were also some moments when the presentation drew me in. EX after a extra point or something the camera pans and you see the big truck with the camera it almost felt like I was there for a moment, BUT what ruined that feeling was how all the special teams players just appeared on the screen at once like they teleported to the kickoff line.LOL Can't wait until the real deal ships.

# 871 BroMontana82 @ 07/23/09 10:15 PM

Well I just had a cool but very interesting play. I blocked a FG attempt (2nd time ever maybe for me), but when I tipped the ball I caught it one handed. Cool, but unlikely. Even weirder was how the ball morphed through the air when it first hit my hand and magically transferred to my other hand!!??

# 872 DLaren @ 07/23/09 10:15 PM

As a strictly coach-mode gamer and avid fan of CPUvsCPU, I spent all of last night and most of this morning watching the CPU play against itself. If the animations in the retail version are a bit more polished, I think I'm going to be happy with Madden'10.

Both teams (Cowboys/Gians) played to their strengths and I was happy with the playcalling on both sides of the ball.

# 873 Bloppy @ 07/23/09 10:16 PM

And this is just the DEMO?? Btw, I'm a noob sauce and didn't pre-order.. I'll be out of town so I can't buy it on day one. So these impressions are just from the 1 min long quarter version.

But dang. Color me impressed. I've been playing it over and over and it's looking and feeling pretty good so far.

Pros:
-Game speed is nice. But it will be even nicer to see the flexibility with the speed options and the different sliders.

-Leverage is taken into account on many occasions. (Example, DBs not getting low enough and getting absolutely PUNISHED by Brandon Jacobs)

-Pro-tak is pretty fun so far. There are just enough instances of big pile ups to make it fun and interesting, but I'm glad they're kind of limited because that would be annoying and cheesy to have a 9 man pile up every play.

-The D-line plays really well.

-The play-calling screen is sleeker and more fluid. I like how it is less intrusive than in years past.

-Players slipping.

-Refs slipping and getting knocked around. lol

-Kicking is more difficult and less forgiving. The right stick actually has an impact on the direction of the kick... or maybe that's the 20 mph wind at The Meadowlands.

.. many others.

Cons:
-Throwing deep is a pain. Not sure if it's the wind, Romo and Manning's arm strength, or just how the game is now but it just seems like the ball is in the air a tad too long.

-Many instances of dumb AI. Replay a few shotgun passing plays and focus on each of the offensive lineman. Pretty attrocious. Hilarious actually. It's one of those things that are just really noticable in replay mode but the acutal playing of the game I don't notice it and it plays fine.

-The crowd sometimes makes it sound like you're at a high school basketball game. I'm guessing it sounds a lot better with surround sound?? lol

Anyway, Sorry if I posted things that others might have stated already. (I haven't exactly had the time to read all 1000+ posts)

Overall AWESOME job so far EA. Keep up the good work. I'm pumped.

Some folks have some kind of twisted loyalty that they can't accept constructive criticism about Madden. Instead of offering a counter point to honest criticism they just make derisive posts, as if there's nothing wrong with the blocking in the game and you and I are just making it up.

# 875 RubenDouglas @ 07/23/09 10:20 PM

I've been so out of the loop with madden games these past few years. but im having some great fun.. This one play sorta killed that buzz I was having. I NEEDED THIS TOUCHDOWN and thought I had it.

Is this the norm? Is it the ratings taking into effect here? Animation hiccups?

ALL PRO settings. Running on all pro has been anything but easy. The video above may show why its the way it is.. If its one thing I hate out of all games is how a CPU may "cheat" its way to victory. AZ RB (me) runs quickly as he gets the handoff, then suddenly WAITS for the cpu steeler defender to tackle him. Is this a player control issue on my end. I'm not posting this to downgrade the game or anything like that. just to get some answers. I had the blockers and I had some speed going on the initial handoff, then he just waits for the hit. I didnt stop the instant replay. its still going.. I know this sort of cpu ai is in every other sports games. maybe its something I need to get used to against the CPU?

Actually the NHL is the fastest (NFL fastest football), but I get what you are trying to say. I didn't have a problem with the speed though.

Haha, same happened to me except it was an extra point! lol

The ball warped through my stomach and back into the blocking hand and just snagged it out of the air. Beautiful.

Absolutely. I think it all starts with gameplay. Once that is fine tuned and running properly than add all the bells and whistles that you want. But first and foremost is GAMEPLAY.
