Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I must admit I have been playing All Pro Football 2k8 for the past 2 years and have HATED Madden since its been on next gen but WOW

I am thoroughly impressed especially after buying the mess that is NCAA 10.

All I can say is good job Ian Cummings you may have salvaged my childhood because i'm relieving all my great Madden memories now. This game is simply the best Madden to come out in years. It has issues no doubt, plenty to talk about but if youve played NCAA and its turned you away from Madden like it did me listen close....DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE...NCAA AND MADDEN ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT GAMES.

Thats all for right now

Thanks EA..finally..thanks

Can the cpu run the ball on you in All-pro?

I know it's probably too early to tell but does the game seem to play better on All-pro or All-Madden? If the sliders are good I usually tweak from all-pro. But sometimes all-Madden just plays a better game.

The cpu cant do anything on all pro...I got killed on all madden 35-0 using the cards....then i played again on all pro and won 27-3

sacked ben and hit him and shut them down

Sliders will be great for all madden

is called My Skill sliders like last year...is not like ncaa sliders

You get pass offense and rush offense and same for defense..that is it

but all pro is set at 10 for the sliders out of 20 and all madden is set at 15

so right now i am playing with the sliders at 13 in my skill to get a balance between both

so far i am runing it down the cowboys throats but not on tosses ad sweeps

Squib kicks are in ! The CPU actually missed an XP.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

please remember
1) its a demo, and Ian said that its 2-3 weeks from final build, thats a lot of tweaking that is not in the game.

2)sliders, if NCAA 10 (post patch)is any indecation, Madeen 10 will have excellent sliders that WORK. No sports game has been perfect out of the box.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

The demo is not doing a good job of selling the game to me.

I play as a Defensive End on defense and I'm STILL getting "stuck" to offensive lineman, even when my back is to the QB and I want to turn around to get the QB... That amounts to HOLDING in the real NFL, yet in Madden it's considered a good block?

I thought they fixed suction-blocking?

Why isn't blocking more collision/spacial based? Why does it have to be "sticky"?

i am not seeing suction...i am using Osi and Tuck and use the power moves and can get around the tackles...

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

when using a d-lieman...Dont try and sprint rush...that causes suction

Use the right stick to make your power moves and spin moves

I use did a texas stunt with Tuck and spun around the guard and killed Romo...

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I am getting very good pressure on Eli with my Boys D.

Didn't like in OT how the Giant CB just swatted the ball down instead of trying for the INT!

Luv the sound of this game. Crowd is rocking!

Thanks bro. Are there sub sets in the slider category? By that I mean when you go to rush offense can you click on that and get the other sliders? I played 09 so little but I thought you could do that. It's cool they have sliders in a demo though.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

what is this redeem code? i reserved my game at gamestop last week. Should i have gotten a code? Thanks for any help

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

OMG..OMG..Pass rush is great in this game

I am now getting crazy pressur on Romo

I have 2 great ends with Osi and Tuck and either one is beasting on the cowboys line

Use the right stick to do your special pass rushing moves

Not the shoulder buttons like before..the shoulder buttons are to put hands up

The right stick is used to do all types of moves

I just did a move where tuck dipped his shoulder a bit to get around the tackle and sacked Romo...

Incredible pass rush animations...


USE RIGHT STICK

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I am surprised the Dallas and Giants D' have the same ratting on the initial team screen. I would give the edge to the Gmen.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

All Pro is ok.. albeit a bit easy. Won 21-14.

All Madden.. AI is way cheap just like 09. Rampant missed blocks while on offense, No pass rush on D. Wide receivers busting through 3 man tackles.. Graphics sub par IMO. Rental.

good question...I forgot about that...

I dont know if is there but i will check

You can only change sliders before the game starts..not during the game

One downfall is the replay system sucks because the graphics take a hit

I play as a Defensive End on defense and I'm STILL getting "stuck" to offensive lineman, even when my back is to the QB and I want to turn around to get the QB... I'm STUCK facing the Offensive Lineman... which means he's holding onto me and not letting me turn around. That amounts to a HOLDING PENALTY in the real NFL, yet in Madden it's considered a good block?

I thought they fixed suction-blocking?

Why isn't blocking more collision/spacial based? Why does it have to be "sticky"?

This is the type of stuff that is clearly an engine limitation and the reason they need to dump some of the canned stuff and go with a more collision-based engine.

as someone who also plays defense at defensive end in the game this news is horiffic to hear...sigh. My dreams have been shattered
