Slower speed=Realistic, I don't think so

As fr playing it and letting it develop, I'll take normal (still slower than last year) or slow, thanks

I'll take what ever speed is the most accurate representation of the real world speed of the NFL game.

Not saying that Normal is or is not an accurate representation. I will wait till I see the final version so that I know what speed, for sure, that I am actually playing at, and if it has not changed in the retail versus the demo.

I understand where you are coming from with a speed that is too fast feeling arcadey, but I think a sped that is too slow is arcadey as well. Just get very close, which again, they may have done, but that is all that I care about.

Lastly, I hate to sound like a record, but all of this you can change the speed sliders and what not is all fine and well when playing alone, but when playing another human, whether online or offline, you both can not play at the speed that you prefer. So saying don't worry if the default speed is off because you can tailor it to your liking, is of little solace. I just hope that the default is the one that is the most accurate representation.

i hate how people answer question at os. the thread is pointless because you all think every body play stupid franchise mode offline or ss mode. can we ajust the game speed online.

understood and a valid point... as noted above in Madden Head's post though you can see where 09 was unrealistically fast (according to Ian) and over the top (IMO) so hopefully they found a sweet spot

Madden has the speed correct this year. previous years have made us be conditioned to think that the hyper speed of 09 is normal. just look at plays and animations of real life football.

yea the more I think about and read what Ian said, it is the ball in the air that seems more real and it is the animations themselves that used to feel sped up, now play out realistically, regardless what the 40 speeds are.

IMHO, the slower pass speeds are one of the best improvements in Madden 10.

Im not jumping to conclusions but to let you know, i have argued back and forth with "sim" players on this site about madden, what "sim" is, etc.

The huge consensus here at OS is basically represent the NFL as well as possible, that includes gamespeed, ratings, physics, catches, throws, everything.

I dont know what type of madden player you are(sim, freestyle, etc so to speak) but if you are a sim player, your statement here contradicts what I have found to be the general POV at OS as to creating a "sim" game.

The sim players want everything to be as realistic as possible, and thats fine, but it includes gamespeed as well.

Your point of its a video game, is a good point in that we all need to realize just that, its a video game. If you like the gamespeed thats fine, I hate the demo speed and want that part of the game to be made as realistic as possible.

i just made a interception with newman in my endzone and ran it up to his in exactly 10 seconds (in the demo @ slow?!?). That was about 103 yards in 10 seconds...the world record @ 100 m is 9.7 seconds...the slow speed seems to be ok...
