WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THE NEXT POST?

Thanks...great review.

This was said at the end of the article.

Final Thoughts

The bottom line is that this game has improved drastically in one year, and I haven't been this excited about Madden in a very long time -- I'm sure many of you feel the same way.


The next article will cover franchise mode, so check it out a little later this week, along with maybe a few other things.

After 3+ yrs of garbage, looks like i can FINALLY get my NFL fix.

Great read Steve thanks.

For the record, I have not recorded a sack while using a defensive lineman

Really? Not even once? By accident?? Wow, that kinda glaring. I was hoping line play would be something they improved upon this year.

If I'm using DeMarcus Ware, I expect to get a little pressure with him, but I have yet to do so. I can understand this when controlling a regular player, but superstars should be more effective.

So once again Defensive linemen ratings don't matter. I guess that will make my draft choices easier and save some money when I can plug in a 67 ovr DE and get the same results.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Hands-On Preview

For the record, I've gotten like 5 sacks personally in my last 2 games on the demo. And as far as defensive line ratings not mattering, when the AI has sacked me, its only been one of the guys like Ware, Tuck, Osi, or James Harrison.

i assume difficulty levels to some extent and custom sliders would fix this (if they work unlike NCAA's).

I enjoyed reading your preview Steve.

17 more dreadful days.

why is it so hard for a game that has had unlimited access to the NFL "vault" that they can't even have all of the real friggin penalties in the game? And people wonder why 2k's games are always brought up in these threads. Good grief. Once again, there is no polish to the game. It's so frustrating.

Where have I heard that before.

Oh yeah. Last year.
Madden 09 review.

"Fast forward three years. Madden NFL 2009 is the best version of Madden that I’ve played in a long time.

In the present, Madden is still leaps and bounds better than recent efforts, and is my favorite football title in years."

I can't help but know that this review is totally biased.


"To make things even better, the development team has been here on the OS boards constantly, and genuinely appears to be interested in the community’s voice. "

You betcha.
