Whats your favorite thing about Madden 2010?

Each year there changes made to Madden, for the better or for worse, both there is always a new feature or change that I like. My favorite change in this years Madden is how EA rerated every player and stretched out all the ratings, especially the speed ratings. Before all starters were rated 80 OVR or higher. And any speed rating lower than 92 or so was considered slow. With the new ratings, you have players with speed ratings in the low 80s and they are average speed. Anything above 86 speed is considered fast. This allows for fast players to be fast. Another thing about this rerated rosters is that you dont have to be really fast to be good. For example, you can have a power back with low 80s speed and he be effective, or a slower safety but he is a big hitter, and he be effective. Where as in old Madden's they both would be rendered helpless because of there slow speed.

What about you guys, what do you like?

The draft classes. Gems, busts, guys signing to their draft position and not their overall.

I hated with the random generated classes how you could get guys with 90 speed and 60 acceleration, now the ratings make sense.

Easily the way runs end (except on the sidelines). The way HB's fall down, or how the tackle animations play out (tackles or sacks), or when ProTak triggers (except for the unrealistic broken tackles). That's the one thing I can really appreciate about Madden 10.

I personally think the best thing about this installment of Madden is the new passing system. It just feels right sitting in the pocket. In previous years you had to scramble back 7 or 8 yards to buy some time but now it slows down your drop back so you have more time to read the D. They finally found a way to reward a great o-line.

I think that would be the new blocking mechanism.

Game still needs an overhaul of the passing game from a playability standpoint (route based passing, pin point passing).
