Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Diving in an attempt for a shoe-lace tackle doesn't always result in one. WR's & HB's should be able to high step out of those (not all the time, just more than none) about 30-40 percent of the time on average throughout all the NFL.

I agree, it is annoying in NCAA 10 and it is now. I still can't wait for this game to come out!!! SB demo was great with few complaints. My only real gripe is about the collision detection. I saw some players morph into other players when making tackles. Helmets molding into other helmets, it's ugly stuff. Other than that aspect, graphics look damn good.

Presentation, gameplay all stand out this year. Ian and the team stepped up and did their jobs this year. This is probably the biggest one year cycle of improvements in a while for a Madden game.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

I have not seen any official word on this, but if last year was any indication, the final could look better. The demo last year looked compressed and not as crisp as the retail game. Could be the same this year, but that is a guess.

thanks im playing on pro and gameplay is very fun so far good mix but I hope visually its sharper, love the after the play stuff seems realistic , perfect

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

my madden 10 demo impression is like this: the game will get played and I'll be a beast no matter what changes happen to madden because i adjust each year, however, the change seems to have favored these so called "sim" players who will be in for a rude dissapointment when they realize the game will be just as "cheesy" if not "cheesier" than 09 and past versions. its seems to me EA "band-aids" alot of problems in the game, for example, look at man-coverage in 09/ it was horrible unless you had the raiders, so what happens in 10? you get what i call "nostradamus" DB's or Madden 3000 DB's, these MF's see the futre for real. lol.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

i've noticed that ben over leads sometimes. and if i push up, he throws it too high sometimes. i don't know why i'm getting different results than you are.

It's not that it doesn't work at all, it just works sporadically for me. Sometimes it doesn't lead at all and sometimes it does it too much, probably in response to my pushing it longer because it didn't do it on a play previously. I know that it works, but it feels like it works different. Like the NCAA demo. It was the same for me.

I'm a practice whore. I run plays billions of times against all defenses and I have come to learn what results to expect. The Demo just seemed like the learning curve was reset because it wasn't behaving the way that it behaved a billion times before. It could b eme, but I seriously doubt it. I think something is a little different this.

That's been happening long before MAdden 10. That's a Tiburon staple lol.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

They could have executed that a little better, but collision detection has never been Tiburon's forte. Having said that, the ball goes the other way because he was hit in mid throw. The animation didn't convey it that great, but there was nothing wonky with that play.

Really, I think it's wonky as hell. his arm goes one way the ball goes the other.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Wow this is going to take some getting used to. I think its a tad bit to slow at the moment but thats what the slider will be for. This feels like a new football game to me so I can't wait for august 14th. The Madden team did a pretty good job this year from what I can tell and this is just the demo. I don't like that HUGE RED RING which is a eye sore for me but I can take it.

Does anyone know if its been confirmed if the red ring can be take off? I'd rather have the little red ring from from the previous maddens.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

is it just me, or are the colors a lot more accurate this year? i can't do a direct comparison, since i traded '09 in awhile ago. it seems that the grass is actually green this year. along with everything just having more of a pop to it.

Well out of the four teams in both demos to me.... FINALLY the team colors are dead on on my tv

You have to understand that players have force fields around them in Madden lol. I would bet my bottom dollar that the game interpreted that as the lineman hitting the pass. Have you never dove at a ball carrier and were just stopped in mid air and fallen to the floor with it looking like you never touched the ball carrier? Have you never been sucked up into a block?

Tiburon's collision detection issues are legendary and their poor animations are right up there with it. Don't trouble yourself over that play. I promise you it's Tiburon's collision detection and piss poor animation at it's finest lol.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

First off let me say that Madden is a beast this year! Ian you guys have done an amazing job and it is just incredible how far we have come in one years time!!!

I have been playing both demos on the 360 and the graphics look much better on the Giants vs Cowboys demo. Is it a more up to date build? Has Ian commented on this?

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

[alphadog]

just played the demo today, gotta say that i'm really a bit dissappointed. compared to college fb the speed of the game should be much faster not much slower. also, is it me or has the graphics taken a step back? I will sat that i was happy to see the improvements to the presentation though.

[darlingdark]

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Still a little clunky with the receiver animations. Speed is a little too slow. Overall i will still buy...love the ideas and it looks like they can tweak the game.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Yeah the blocking AI looks a lil wacky, could just be the steeler demo because i have yet to see it in the Giants one (close to 50 games played)
