How are some people already playing ny vs dal? I thought the only version out was Arizona vs Pittsburgh.

360 owners get the ny vs dal demo early.

Says the guy with the username "backbreaker".

His username is about as old as Natural Motion and about 4 years older than Backbreaker.

Love the gamespeed!

Pro-tak looks awesome... it really does make the game flow smoother.

Block shedding = improved! I am able to use my R-stick just like APF's reach tackles to manipulate the block and make the tackle.

The pass rush and pocket are both things I've never seen in Madden before. On a 3rd and 3 I tried to scramble for the 1st with Eli and the DE kept his contain very nicely.

The momentum isn't perfect, but it's there. Ideally this year we'll have to respect the laws of physics at least somewhat in terms of changing direction and speed loss.

The graphics are easily the best I've ever seen in a sports game personally. My gosh those players look and act lifelike.

As someone else stated, the celebration right after the score looks really sharp. last year's dead time in selecting the area of the endzone to celebrate in kind of killed the moment.

I saw new tackle animations immediately. I personally have no beef with canned animations, just need huge variety.

The increase in difficulty on the hitstick is a very welcome addition.

Honestly it feels like EA has catered to my concerns very well. Maybe they actually did read what I wrote. It feels that way because the game feels very much like I described wanting it. Running animations never even crossed my mind. I was too busy admiring the improved collision detection! EA made a big step forward on a really strong principle = player interactions! I was begging for 2 things = player interactions and momentum. I got them both. Seeing those LB's shed blocks got me SO jacked up.

Coming from a guy whose favorite game is APF= Madden football is BACK in 2009!

Xbox Live has Dallas vs NY - 1 min quarters demo. PSN it comes out on July 30th.



I can't stand folks here who throw the demo on for the first time and switch the difficulty on to All-Madden, and then start complaining about how bad it is after 2 games and they can't do anything.

Play on a lower difficulty, you're not that good people.

His username has nothing to do with the game.

My apologies.
Seriously.

Thats why I play on all-pro. :wink:

Why are players on the sidelines wearing coats during cutscenes but they're not during gameplay? WTF? Although the cutscenes do look great, why can't we have the players on the sidelines look like the do in the cutscenes during gameplay? Sideline players still look like cardboard cut outs. It kind of defeats the purpose of having cutscenes. It's almost as if the beutiful cutscenes magnify how ****ty the sideline players look during gameplay. I don't want to hear that they have to sacrifice stuff to get the game to run at 60fps. With all the power of these "Next Gen" systems this shouldn't be the case. Also, we need some collision detection for the sidelines. We still have players walking through players on the sidelines after the play. Hopefully next year this will be at the top of the list to get fixed.

demo was good, I thought some of the animations were a little to repetitive, but it's only a demo. no commentary though. no espn integration yet. hopefully next year.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I liked the demo. My ONLY gripes:

1. Injury cart comes out and drives THROUGH some players...

Possible nod back to old old school Madden where the ambulance would murder about 5 healthy players to tend to the injured one.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

my meh comment, is a luke warm ok its better than 09, but I reserve judgment until 8/14. I wasn't wowed by the game. My expectations were high and that's my fault.

So as of now its "meh" its E3 to me.

Its a beautiful thing to see all the praise drowning out the nitpickers

Amen brother.. Rmoody and clan (the naysayers in here) really need to get off the stupid nitpicking bandwagon though...im glad LBrulz set Mr.Moody straight though lol not that it was his goal to do that..he just KNOWS football much better then Rmoody..also..because when i viewd the video..it left me scratching my head..in what he (moody) was crying about, im referring to the run game outside...By the way, i've had a few nice big runs on the outside with the cardinals and Giants...more with the Giants but i think the Giants have a better Oline..something tells me the quality and talent of the oline has a HUGE impact in the run game which is how it should be...

Im starting to clearly see that Rmoody is just an Apex wannabe that just hates madden to hate it...for what ever reason why..I swear to god i could go take the best past madden to date, NFL2k5 or APF and have a field day on them if i were purposely hunting for glitches,bad AI logic and flaws..its not hard to find flaws in videogames..because they are just that..videogames..why cant they grasp this? It boggles my mind...to the 10th degree!!

Apex ..while i dont agree with alot of his recent videos..i think he's a cool kat ...just because he keeps it real, alot of my homeboys are like him..Rmoody comes off as a wannabe that just hates madden and will find anything possible to make it look bad...lol, i had enough of him, im not looking at his vidz no more..it was my own damn fault for peeking at his M10 vid impressions lol.

I just want to make myself clear..i dont have a problem with people nitpicking but make sure you have some legitiment gripes first..because when you start picking at a videogame for perfection..its all becomes moot and meaningless. I had a HUGE problem with the presentation in madden for years and years in here..i would b1tch about it all the time..but i knew inside this sort of thing would make a night and day difference if the dev's just focused on presentation..and it has, the demo is proof of that..b1tching about perfect AI Logic is just silly..videogames will NEVER be able to match human logic..yeah some games may have did it a bit better but its all a wash honestly..all that really matters is that we have a fun game of pigskin imho ..and M10 has delivered!

Still notice too many people in the crowd wearing short sleeved shirts during a snow game. I thought they fixed that? I remember on the PS2 if it was a rain or snow game, people in the crowd would wear rainjackets & coats. Why don't we have this in the game yet?
