Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

Re: Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

woow, you guys are desperate. imo, that video showed me nothing. just a few plays and everyone sees these so called improvements. madden 09 even had its moments when it played like a feel football game. this is no different. aside from the presentations, the game looked not different. til i get my hands on this game, i'm not convinced...

[j2k9]

That's what I'm talkin about EA! I'm speechless! I'm willing to let it slide that you guys still didn't put progressive lighting back in this year. That would've been the icing on the cake! With all these other great additions how can I complain! Great job EA!

[j2k9]

If I had to pick one thing I didn't like about the vid it would be that the gameplay looked a little sketchy. I seriously hope the framerate doesn't get sacrificed by all these great additions. Hopefully they will iron out the kinks but otherwise great job EA! I haven't been this excited about Madden in years!

First, advertising on the coin toss. I hate that, it's not part of the game, and it's an immediate turn off for me when I fire up Madden. If a person pays for a product, they shouldn't have to suffer through blatant advertising. Use the advertising that fits the game, don't alter/ruin the gaming experience to get an extra ad up there. That's not 'in the game'. I still haven't bought a snickers bar going on 2 years later due the snickers advertising in Madden '08 on the PSP.

Don't have time to dissect the game play tonight, the presentation looks better, but the announcers seem the same as last year.

One big disappointment for me after seeing more game play is that it doesn't look like Route Based passing is in the game. That feature alone (from APF2K8) has ruined other football games for me. Without it, I don't think I will be able to enjoy the game. Passing is half the game, and I won't be able to enjoy the passing game without it.

The Snickers advertisements have to be shown because EA Sports have a contract with them.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

electric football, exactly. theres no bounce or sense of acceleration (in a human sense) with the players. its like the players are bumper cars

Great way to put it. Bumper cars.

And yes, the animations of the players are horrible. Not even close to the real thing. This is bizarre to me. After all these years EA still can't have their football game moving more realistically.

Do you think every year the fine folks at EA flip a coin to decide whether or not to make the animations look real and we, the gamers, have had bad luck because the coin always comes up "NO!"??

JerseySuave4 - Actually, I'm not big on online gaming myself. I just thought I'd post that since I waited for that big announcement and thought some would really enjoy hearing that. They also had more game footage, too. I'm going through my DVR recording now...wait, it's after 12. I'll just get it off GT, instead, since my Spike TV is NOT in effin' HD. Damn Fios..

well when Snickers comes to them and says we wanna give you x amount of dollars to get our product advertised in the game, you think they're going to say no? Video games have become a great way for companies to advertise their products because of the popularity, dont let it bother you, its not that big of a deal.

yea i wasnt complaining just stating my 2 cents. Anyone know how long into the spike show Madden was mentioned? I missed it and plan on watching at 2am while im in bed watching tv before i pass out so i wanted to know around how long in i should expect Madden so i dont miss it while watching King of the Hill or something.

Then you add it in a way that's part of the game. As a banner, or as a 'sponsored by' commentary during the half time or replay show. You don't just put blatant ads in your game. That's ad ware, not a video game.

Cowboys Star is facing the WRONG direction Again.

I thought Ian and the devs knew and understood this problem thats been a problem for a while. Kane has even mentioned it.

Ian has replied to me personally on it.

Can this be corrected?

nfl players are too fast....

if a qb throws across his body, it should be either batted down or picked. am i wrong?

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

I like this part "I can see there is some good things going on. A foundation to build on"

To build on? TO BUILD ON?!?! For the love of God man! EA has been "BUILDING" this game for 20 years!!

WHEN are they going to get there?

Wouldn't argue there. That's half the problem. It's still Madden. But here's what's hard for me and I'm really trying to keep in context. I watched Fifa go from 07 to 09. I watched basically a new game get built and added onto from the ground up this gen. With Madden it's cutting and adding stuff onto the same Madden. It's kinda painful to watch, but I'm keeping this all in perspective. Madden can't ever take a cycle off and will be hard pressed to change the game too radically, unless they do it gradually. One, there's the fanbase who wants "Madden", not 2k. They have to be gradually sold on the changes. Second, this takes time and is being done on the fly. Third, I have to remember that every other game that I love has a three year head start, basically.

So I have these post that sound torn. That's how I really feel. I'm hoping that this years game will be enough to keep me playing, but have no illusions that it'll be bliss. I'm just worrying how this game will be viewed against full versions of Fight Night, NHL and Fifa. Right now it seems to be hot, but even sitting here watching the new non-sports games on the Spike preview Madden seems to still be behind the curve. And it's not even really sports gaming season. UFC is hot. Fight Night will be hot. Madden really has to get into fighting shape real quick. I'm keeping personal hope alive, but am really just not sure right now. Only thing I'm sure of is that Ian is the best thing they've had going for them and that there will be no other NFL game this year! As to how long it'll take who knows?

P.S. I did say that the commentary was really killing it for me.

[j2k9]

I'd rather have a halftime show over a pregame show. I thought what they showed in the vid is enough for pregame. They do need to have a halftime show breaking down the action like 2K5 had & also a postgame highlight show. They should utilize their ESPN & NFL liscence to the fullest & have Chris Burman or Rich Eisen doing the highlights.
