Awesome job guys. So long as there aren't lurking issues within the gameplay that crop up down the line, I think this is a fine effort and promises an outstanding future for the franchise.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here
As a long time Madden *****, it hurts me to say this is looking pretty good. I played about 3 games and there are only a few things that bugged me. The turn on a dime animations are still present; there should be more animations put in to transition the player from moving towards the sideline to turning upfield. Some random dude broke out of a 4-man tackle. Some of the tackles looked like the tacklers were trying to pull and/or hug the ballcarrier down vs. wrapping up and/or knocking him down. The gameplay is a tad bit slow but much better than the turbo speed of years past. One thing that probably can't be fixed is the playcalling screen. On Xbox, to choose a play you select X, A, or Y. I think it should be X, A, and B which is more natural to the button layout. I found my self hitting B and going back to the main screen. Minor adjustment for me I guess. The game overall feels better. I wasn't turned off immediately like last years demo. The cutscenes are pretty good and I didn't get bored with what I saw. I look forward to hearing the commentary in the full version. I think this is still a rental at this point. However, I feel if the effort is put into next years offering that was put into this one, we may have a winner. Still lots of things to be worked on but I am pleasantly surprised by the state of the game.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here
For those that have both demos on their 360
Is it me or does the 1 min demo play smoother and a bit faster then the promo demo
Is only a minute short but the gameplay feels tighter and pass rush seems more responsive and better in the short demo
and the pass rush should be worst in snow but it feels better then super bowl demo
I would love to know which demo is older...Comment

My score for Madden 13: 4.5/10
3 points for graphics, 1 point for the passable commentary, and a half point for the boxart. I can give no further points since the all over the place gameplay would ruin it anyway.Comment

The 1 minute one feels like it's on normal, have no idea if that's the case. Just seems that way from playing both.For those that have both demos on their 360

because you're supposed to form the impression that you need to go preorder it from gamestop to get a proper demo.Comment

Maybe there's hope? I really want that button layout too. I mostly played 08 on PC with a logitech controller that used that button map. It's a more natural way to have the buttons. But, I noticed this from the Madden blog, so maybe we'll be able to change it this year? /crossed fingers
I can't post the link because I don't have 5 posts yet.
"Controller Reference"
This is currently found on the "GAMEPLAY" settings screen.
***NOTE*** As of this update (2/6/2009) it appears likely that the 'multiple controller config' task will be completed. If it does, this menu link will most likely cease to be "Controller Reference" and become "Controller Configuration". Please see that GDD for details.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here
I would love to know that stuff, too. I'm not seeing any jostling. And I'm defnitely not seeing Robo QB, either. Ben is misfiring alot. I also like the new spin. But, I've only really tried it with non-skilled players. I can't wait to feel the huge differences between the scrubs and the superstars!For those that have both demos on their 360

I'm just waiting for Ian to say that Jostling, and other fixes aren't in these demos. I will hit the roof, like, 'you mean the game is even better than this?'Comment
