Re: Madden NFL 10 Review

Score seems very high and while improved this is what madden 2006 should have been .
Player models are improved , weird arms like on big ben are too small thin , body to as Bens a big boy ,
Easy Qb sneak is still there ?

he kind of does have puny arms for a bigger QB...

Could just be me, but I think some people are WAY too hung up on the score, and didn't read the review.

READ first, then look at the score.

Steve very realistic review. I haven't played the game yet, but I do appreciate how you go about your review.

It is presented in a realistic manner.

Nice Job!!!!

Here's a second link for the guys at work that can't read the main link at osatwork: http://www.osatwork.com/review.php?id=495

Edit: Very nice review Steve! I haven't played the retail version yet although I know I won't be playing on the slow setting. Just too slow for me when playing the demo.

. . .

I wish that someone argumentate about why Madden deserves a 9; I think that OS review is great becouse He highlight weakness of the game; from that POV the review is great as usual. What really bothers me is the score 9. I mean after reading the review I was expecting a 8.1 - 8.5 score, becouse there are no excuse about some lazyness of EA. 9 is for great games and M10 is not.
It's fun? Maybe....

IMHO EA just put crap games on the market and the worst part is that their producer (and some part of the community) are hyped (reading their blog on twitter) by those review rates. Are we seriuous?

I just wish that EA/NFL let 2K develop their own game so we can have an alternate take on football gaming.
Now EA think that they passed NFL 2k5??? So let them develop NFL 2k11 and we'll have a decent competitor...Oh I guess I know who'll be the winner ^_^

Exactly.

Although I'd go so far as to say people are too hung up on REVIEWS, period.

Either way, this one was very well written and very fair. So good job to Steve!

Every year more people critique madden nfl. A lot of people want a lot of different improvments. Because of this, many downgrade or overlook what has been improved. The 9 grade is not for perfection, its for improvments. The online franchise, signature qb throws, real line play, slower gameplay, better animation. I agree with 9 score. Another 300 games to play this year.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Review

Is the game is a lot of fun, that of course it deserves a 9, cause thats the point of me playing this game to HAVE FUN

One thing I'd like to add as an OLDDDDD Time game player from the Pong days. Do not forget this fact and remember where you heard it:

When these games were in hardcore programming and design, the recession was the deepest. What's the most popular game system with developers right now? The Wii. They can make more money off making some dummas Wii game than making a really, really solid 360/PS3 title.

So, the way business works is, the place where money is being made is The Wii. Guess who gets the best programmers and artists and funds?

Well, Madden is your exception PS3/360 guys. It makes so much money, it has major funding and killer talent at EA.

HOWEVER ..

There's gonna be a lot reviews on here for this year's edition of games from major companies that unless the version is on The Wii, it kinda sucks.

It's where the money is.

Madden is THE ONE exception. It's pretty much the biggest videogame of the year.

So, consider that BIG perspective when you are divvying up your future purchases.

You may just want throw "this" Madden in a pile of "buy" on the 360/PS3.

Who knows what The Wii lay waste to in the next nine months of game releases? But something tells me, not god. Not good.

Madden has the financial clout.

.. and that's news from The Real World Overview ...

I'd give this game a 9 also and I think I look for similar things in football games as last year the more I played 09 I hated it also. This year is the opposite. Online Franchise has me very excited.. there's a lot of potential for many hours of online fun with my friends within that.

Good review. With my short time withit, I didn't really see anything that just Pee'd me off.

One thing - It seems like there were more stat overlays in the demo then in the retail. Maybe it's just me?
