Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

played the demo, super lame. gameplay is almost the same as last year with minor visual improvements but ,most of the same problems as always except now its super slow

most of the new presentation is uneccessary and if they didnt improve franchise mode then it was all for nothing anyways. glad i decided not to buy this this year, prolly will rent it though to play at full screen

How do people say things like this? Same gameplay? What demo did you DL? These posts boggle my mind. It's like they want to get upset and hate on the game.

I cannot fathom how someone can play the demo and say it's just like 09. It just blows my freaking mind.

Same Madden Identity is a good description. Definitley better then last year's demo though. But, I played the 1 minute quarters and got the game into OT.

I think my right stick is broken because kicking the ball is insanely hard to do. Pulling back on the stick is my main issue. It does not trigger the meter everytime. This is probably mentioned in the mammoth thread, but I did not see it.

Also, the game personally for me is too slow. I don't care about sliders because I play online. But definitley an improvement from last year. I guess for me, it is still Madden, so I am not that blown away. Would I like to play with the Fins and run some wildcat? Definitley..

The passing is more like 2k though. I could time the routes real well and throw the ball easily. I threw for 155 yards in 4 minutes. I need to unlock the real demo so I can run the ball and mess with it more. I like rushing the passer with the right stick a lot also. That is a very good feature.

I also liked how Brendan Jacobs ran me over a few times and would get up and be all pumped up. That was cool too.

Please man, it's not like a brand new engine. I can "fathom" how someone would say that. There is a happy medium here, and your post is just as bad as the guy's you quoted.

The speed of the game, the camera angles, the tackling, the passing game. You cannot play the demo and tell me that those are the same as Madden 09. If someone wants to say "I'm still not satisfied" then fine. But to claim that Madden 10 made no progress and is the same as Madden 09? That's just being blind.

what different about the gameplay? please explain. other than more people involved in tackles from time to time and the graphics are improved.

same crappy pass blocking, WR and cornerback gameplay is unchanged. and the CPU QB is still untouchable and makes perfect passes

if anything they made the playcalling worse. NCAA had a perfect setup this year, they should have just used that. wouldn't have been that hard

and i love how eli just stood in one spot, moved one foot foward and heaved a perfect spiral in 14mph winds, in the snow 60 yards down the feal. yea, real realistic. not to mention most of the cut scenes are poorly done.

obviously i understand this is a demo and that the actual retail copy of the game could be completely different and ill reserve my judment of the game until the full version is out. all im saying is that i was underwhelmed by the demo

its not hating, thats a dumb word anyways, its just a cop out for people who can't form effective arguments. i didnt like the demo so now im hating? ok

god forbid i honestly express my opinion of the game in here huh?

Re: What is it about Madden that struggles to make REALISTIC player models?

I think they are all right, forreal if they turn to textures more of what NCAA actually uses they'll be better, *Player Models, and skin atleast*

One thing that might be small but really frustrates me though, is the eyes of players and how they are so shiny like marbles, IDK why but it gets me really mad .. LoL

how do you add videos to my post?

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I hope they do something about the scorecard overlay at the end of the game. This is also broken. I know they couldn't have purposely done this where the doggone card is blocking the view of the coaches and players interacting at mid-field, or the player of the game being interviewed.

This has to be broken, there is just no way this was done purposely. Just no way.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I had to read your post twice to make sure it said what I thought it did.

Glad you're enjoying the demo man.

LOL CB, you know I've been one of the most critical of past Maddens, im sitting here at work dying to leave so that I can play the DEMO of Madden again. I feel like im 18 again, its great man

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Fine, you dislike the game, mems1224. See you next year, then. There's little I can say. For me, the passing is much improved. I can time routes without worrying that a LB is going to make a super jump and pick it off. I've seen plenty of replays where WR/CB jostling happened, and it even turned into a defensive pass interference once. The throwing motion of the QB feels nature to me, as does the velocity and angle of the ball.

I like that the camera pans and allows me more view of the field. I like being able to feel when pressure is on me, as a QB (in each game I played, I was sacked at least 2 times, and pressured much more). The running game feels more fluid to me, I'm able to make contact with defenders and feel like I can do something. Gang tackling is a nice addition, I don't have to worry about one man missing a tackle, and then a big gain due to me not being able to help with the tackle until after the first animation was over (a la 09).

The general color of the game is nice. I don't miss the overlay at all. I love how the Steelers' helmets reflect the white of the Cardinals jerseys when a player is tackled, etc.

I could go on and on about a lot of things. Yes, there were glitches, and there were bugs, but I know that this isn't the final build.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I DL the 1 minue demo fro Madden 10, I was pretty impressed, but playing in the snow in NY, saw all the footprints on the field, but did anyone notice that the uniforms never got dirty? At least I didnt see it, maybe becuse of only 1 minute quarters, but I hope that field degradation and dirty uniforms are there when playing in bad weather. What do you guys think?

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

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.

i agree with you 1000000000000000%. the guy that came up with the fight for the fumble idea must be smoking alot of weed when he came up with idea. they should have made the first guy that jump on the ball get the ball 90 percent of the time. the botton mashing seem childish to me.
