Perhaps start a poll to get everyones opinion but this really disrupts the flow IMHO

Yup I agree 100% also... the zoom in on the player before the tackle is even completed is a bit weird... and does disrupt the flow. Hopefully it would be an easy fix... maybe.

rocket catch is still in. just got it done to me by the comp on all pro in man to man coverage wit larry fitz. it woudnt be so bad if the cb would have at least jumped and tried to swat the ball but he just waited till he caught it then tackled him.

There are many reasons why I enjoy coach-mode, but the main reason is to make the 'awareness' rating matter. If you're controlling the QB what difference does it make if his awareness is 56 or 96? You're making all of the decisions so it lessens the importance of the attribute that is supposed to be the most important rating; the same can be said for other positions as well. Playing in coach mode emphasizes strategy and forces you to acquire players with high football IQ's (since you won't be able to control their actions).

Also, playing in coach-mode eliminates half of the gameplay issues that people complain about on these forums because the CPU does not take advantage of itself; I don't even know what a "rocket-catch" looks like

I CAN FINALLY SACK THE DAMN QB too!!!! 09 had the worst suction blocking.. cut scenes are on point everything is on point and im sayin this as a die hard nfl2k5 fan im impressed and its only the damn demo. no complaining here. seriously all of you should stop nit picking...throw in that piece of garbage we got last year and compare it to just this demo IT DOESNT COME CLOSE haha thats all i gotta say oh and also the my skill level finaly works decently try it out

but why not just play head coach then? A game designed with way more features for people that like playing that way.

Head coach is done.

And I'm pretty sure it was what he played last year.

People who have to have skills on the stick and understand offensive and defensive scemes. Not a game that does everthing for you, but a game that requires you to think to be good. Like a video game of football chess, you know. With Madden you have to have quick reaction to a hole in the lane to be able to run through it and recognize when a block is breaking down. Or even to understand how to break tackles or which side a d-linemen is being blocked from, so if he's being blocked outside you run inside if he's being pintched toward the middle you run outside and so-on and so-forth. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO RUN ON AN OUT SIDE PITCH!

Seriously dude, you have to understand how to let your blocks develope and then turn it up field, not try to out run the D east and west or to the sideline hopeing to break a long run.....football is a north and south game. You can't hold on to the the turbo button in order to bust a long run! See as Madden fans or a gamer with great user skills we know that you dont hit turbo until you absolutely need to or once your out in the open field on a break away. Thats how Madden's run game works....

Here is a quick break down for you scrubs or people who been hating on the game...You see, in order to manuver through the line of scrimage you have to have the ability to juke, spin, truck, stiff-arm or hesitate to break tackes. So when your running with a full head of steam or with turbo held down before you get through the line of scrimage or as soon as the ball is snapped your momentom will force a bad play. So it triggers the defenders to speed up and your o-line cant hold their blocks cause your not giving them enough time to set up their blocks or for them to even form a running lane cause you got your finger on the turbo button trying to break tackles or recognize running lanes. The game just doesnt work like that. Thats really why they slowed it down this year. You have to know how to recognize a blitz and then check down...you know i'm saying. Or how to put the right amount of touch on the ball. You have to have good user control. Period. I wrote this ealier particularly for RMoody.

i just won an overtime thriller with the steelers using custom sliders. (between all-pro and all-madden) hit parker on a wheel route and he took it to the house. i looked at the replay several times - i think the running animations are tons better this year. in fact, i don't really have anything negative to say about them anymore. nice to know i won't have to "wait til next year" for better running animations.

btw, i have to say that the armpit hair is starting to disturb me. i know "if it's in the game." but still. wtf? lol.

Thats what it is dude...the running animations..mostly the jukes are NICE now..i couldnt pinpoint it really but now that you made me think about it some more..the juke animations are LOADS better making running alot of fun..but i also think the speed has made running alot better as well.

One thing i dont think is useful is putting in smashing of the button during fumbles, something tells me this will be removed next year

..i would have much rather seen some button pressing for speed boost or when your RB is engaged with defenders to break out of the tackle..pressing the button then would be great. Im not trying to make Madden into 2k5..but i would LOVE a toggle option in the options menu to allow us to tap the button for speed boost..for some reason to me it just makes running the rock all that much more fun..like seeing a hole open up, you run towards it and begin pressing the button to speed/zip thru the hole would be "fun".. as it was in NFL2k5. This is something i hope Ian and crew look into for M11...but im content with the running game this year..its FUN and thats all that matters.

Passing is ALSO LOADS BETTER...no more superman passes with superhuman strength..its slowed down a bit, Also the accuracy of QB passing is just about perfect now...i love tossing the rock and completing passes but i also love tossing the rock only to see it fade, wobble and float too far over my WR's head ..sweetness!!

**j2k9** · 07-24-2009, 01:37 AM

EA BRING STRAFE CATCHING BACK! WHY ON EARTH DID YOU EVER TAKE IT OUT? WITH HAVING FITZGERALD ON THE COVER THIS WOULD'VE BEEN THE PERFECT TIME TO BRING IT BACK.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Has anyone noticed that many times your WR catches the ball and it just falls out of his hands for no apparent reason?

Here are a few things I like about Madden 10...

* Graphics
* Presentation
* Pregame
* Refs

Here are a few things I don't like...

* Accelerated clock is AWFUL!! Don't even have enough time to send somebody in motion before the clock runs out.
* WR's dropping passes after they catch it for no apparent reason.
* Pin Ball action with even the smallest players just bouncing off of defenders.
* Many times trying to do a Laser pass and it lobs the ball up instead of throwing it on a rope.

Game is good but the Accelerated clock can become a Game Breaker IMO, Especially if it is online in lobbies.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I'm quite enjoying the demo on PS3. The presentation so far is well done, the graphics, the animations are decent, etc. I was purposefully running pass plays each down to test the pocket being formed, and it in fact does form on most plays for me on All-Madden.

Seems like All-Pro is too easy, and All-Madden provides a good challenge. I played 3 games - Lost 2 and Won 1. I played all 3 with the Cards.

Overall I give the demo a 9/10.
