I always have to get madden. But 2k10 is my game I am wanting most. Though I have been really digging the demo for NHL10, but the game I am really starting to enjoy is the Show. I am playing Legend. And wow! That is so real! I love it! Plus I have to get Batman AA

I first noticed that the main menu interface is very simple and easy to navigate. Anyway I won't get too much into that cause afterall, how much does that add or subtract from a game? I then went to the 'play now' mode and took the Vikings in a home game against the Packers.(I live in Green Bay, and while I have forgiven all in the Brett Favre saga, I still cannot wrap my mind around Ted Thompson, Mark Murphy, and Mike McCarthy sitting in a room deciding to tell Favre to go take a hike) Anyway My first drive was 17 plays with a heavy heavy dose of AP. I mean he is a beast, what can I say. I ran heavily to the left side behind Hutchinson which definitely displayed the Packers inability to defend the run. The other player I featured often in this drive was Percy Harvin.....Also a Stud. The Packers gave me a good amount of pressure while I was passing and even caused Favre to throw 2 ducks.(one tipped right after the throw, and the other was contact during the throw) Anyway, the drive ended in a 9 yard rushing TD by AP. On defense, I held the Packers to 26 yards of total offense in the first half. Going into halftime, it was 14-0 Vikings. The Packers got the ball in the 2nd half, and caught me on a zone blitz and tossed the rock to Jordy Nelson for a 54 yard TD pass. Overall I think the game plays great. I did not have any problem on defense and I even played a little 3-4 with williams at NT and end and Jared Allen at the other end. I tortured the Packers mediocre line all game, and Ryan Grant probably wants to retire after that game. The game ended 28-13 with all-pro difficulty with 8 minute quarters and 15 second accelerated clock. What quarter time and accelerated clock gives the most realistic stats while playing games? In last years game on all-madden I was consistently able to pass for 300-350+ and rush for 100+ yards will 7 minute quarters.

glad you enjoyed it. For what its worth, Best Madden next gen yet.

Good post man..glad your enjoying it.. the majority of us in here are..

By the way, TRUE STORY... reason why Favre was let go is that he didnt want practice,train,etc..his personal gameplan was to retire then unretire for the packers right before regular season started so he didnt have to go thru all the two-a-days,practice,workouts,etc.. Ted and the rest warned him of this and i guess Favre didnt think they were serious..well it turns out they were.

Also you may wonder..how was it that Farvre was a shoe-in for vikes before preseason began months ago but suddenly backed off up until........ half way thru preseason...wonder why? Because he didnt want to go thru training,two-a-days,etc (same deal as before) ...dont get me wrong, im excited to see what he does in Minni but man..the guy just dont like to workout,train,practice,etc anymore... wonder why the guy had his own office during his days at Greenbay? While the rest of the team sat together? Maybe he thought he was above and beyond everyone else? Its the feeling i get from this guy...although he does have talent and still possesses a cannon of an arm.

Quick question. How did you find out that the game will take 6-8 weeks? The e-mail they sent me said that as soon as the credit card was processed, the game would be shipped. Just wondering, because I did the TV offer. Sounded like a good deal.

I like it this way though, because when you do get a big run you feel like you've accomplished something .. lol All in all, who should be great, are .. who should be good, are .. who are crappy, are .. Also will depend on what difficulty you play on ..

Is it really that hard to put the 4 in front of the 9ers?

And I will give you a final warning to not try and derail another thread.

While you're at it, why don't you get that guy who made the Brett comment at the beginning and the guy who started talking about NHL also. They totally tried to derail this thread. Entire conversations ensued about something that wasn't even in the initial post.
