    But before you ban me for something I'm not doing let me say people on this site seriously need to start looking at this game with a critical eye because things are getting out of control, and if we continue to accept anything EA will continue to add things that they can market (graphics, halftime shows, chain gangs, etc), so they can forget about things that make football great (physics, proper gang tackles, speed, etc).

      i hate when those who complain act like they can change what they put in.simple solution,dont buy the game and please dont post about it.if you already pre ordered it,just shhhh!!!! you know that you are going to be jumping in joy and sleeping with the game case when you get it,lol.

      its not worth compaining about if you cant change it and buying the game is easily avoidable.

        Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

        after playing 1 game of giants and cowboys, my initial impression is this:

        -the same "Madden Identity", just slowed down. I think I like the game speed slowing down, but everytime u hear a real life running back speak about the hardest part of the NFL is adjusting to the speed of the game.
        -presentation is better. I actually saw Romo with his helmet off and he looked good "no romo"
        -the ability to throw from the pocket is there. its so natural, I didn't even pay it any mind.

        it didn't wow me because its the same "Madden identity" and I may be growing tired of that. its a good game tho. that's it for now. I'll play more of the demo when I get home.
        fool me once... shame on me.

          Will there be a way to turn off the breakaway camera? I hate how the camera starts to shake when you break into the open field. I don't see how this could possibly be thought of as cool to have in the game.

            All they had to do was do a facial scan on Ian for this.

              Played it and..

              -Seems like way too many cut scenes,whatever you want to call it, seems like the camera is hardly ever on the field and they want to try to get to a cut scene asap. I dont HATE it, but at times it gets a little crazy and jumpy. I do HATE how it jumps to a cut scene before a play is fully over or right at the end of a tackle. Hopefully there is an option to turn this off maybe? How will this perform online with all those cut scenes? Hopefully it wont freeze as the chain gang comes out on the field..

              -These guys try to break every single tackle. I mean obviously a RB would do so, but sometimes its nice sometimes it seems too much. If you have one defender trying to make a tackle good luck. You better wrap up.

              -Just a personal opinion..but I don't like the camera when you drop back and trys to show the entire field, seems too far back. Forgot the name of it. There will be different options to turn that off right?

                LMAO at "No romo"..but i agree...Im on the Ps3 and downloaded the demo and i feel that it is a good game and I will be happy to buy it..I like that they slowed down the game and love that you can actually sit in the pocket longer.

                  In the Giants/Dallas demo, is the wind backwards? Meaning I select to kick with the wind but then the meter shows me going against....

                  Maybe it's still early in the morning.

                    Anyway, the fight for the fumble was full of win. I made the CPU fumble the first play of the demo yesterday...cracked him dead on. I like the fact that you have to press different buttons... its like the ball is moving around in the pile, like it does in real life.
                    What do you know about football in real life? Have you played a down past high school? Did you even play in HS? The ball doesn't move around in piles when someone jumps on it. There's a lot of unpleasant stuff that goes on in a pile but once a guy jumps on it and secures it, 99% of the time the first guy to get it comes out with it. Fight for the fumble is lame and unrealistic. Bottom line.

                    I've seen it about 5x and each time, my guy jumps on it first, 2 or more guys jump on it late and because I didn't hit different buttons fast enough in a span of 5+ seconds, my guy doesn't come out with it? I could definitely do without this "feature". Thanks.

                      Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

                      Ok, I didn't play Madden 09 at all and I bought 08 and played a couple games but thought the passing was broken so stuck with NCAA.

                      The Cowboys-giants demo impressed me. I like the passing and the speed of the game. I can throw lobs, bullets and over the middle without the super LB int. I LOVE the WR/DB interaction at the line on press coverage. Good risk/reward there b/c I've had my WR knocked off his timing route and I've thrown it to no one and I've had the WR win the battle and get behind the DB for a long completion. Playing on 1 mintue quarters sucks b/c I can't really get a feel for the running game. I will NEVER play as the giants, so Barber is the only RB I used. I found it tough to run, but not impossible.

                      I did have some problems getting a rush on Eli with the Cowboys base 3-4. I don't really have any bad impressions of the demo, but with only a couple games in and those only being 1 min quarters, I probably need more time to really evaluate the game.

                      I will say this is the first time in about 3 years that I've actually gotten excited over Madden. Online Franchise plus the new presentation aspects are gonna make this a first day purchase for me. Ian and company have really upgraded this year, imo.

                        Those are actually not cut scenes but post-play camera angles. My two biggest issues with the post-play situations are that they end too quickly, and that the camera allows players to drift off the screen without following them at least for a second or two before going back to playcall. You never see an empty shot on TV but in Madden we're now getting empty shots galore. It's annoying to see this. I'm dumbfounded as to how they let this happen. I actually consider this broken and I am very disappointed in that.

                          Player models look just fine to me.

                            Did Eli Manning change his hair color? It looks black in Madden 10. I thought his hair was lighter?

                              I downloaded the demo last night and my 7 year old son said to me this doesn't look like Madden. This is the next gen football game that I wanted from EA. The only thing I can say is ..wow.

                              Congrats for keeping your word (TEAM MADDEN) I have some issues but I will wait until I get the game before I post them. This game feels better than 09 and seem like Madden 06, 07, and 08 (ortiz years) was just a bad dream.

                              Peace

                                yea, I think one guy described Madden's player models as Gears of War like models. u know how its good graphics, but not uber real in texture. best player models are UFC and fight night 4..
                                fool me once... shame on me.
