Madden 10 post patch is golden. If you can find a sim player and not a cheeser your good to go. It really is the best football experience ever. It has its faults but so does everything else. It will get better every year. This year on next gen I can finally see myself playing it for a full year.

[Yo-Yo]

I like everything except the fact that when u get to the QB and about to sack him, he just throws the ball away in the middle of the sack. It happens every time. I adjust sliders and blitz constantly and still only get about a sack per game. Why cant anyone make sacks? Cause EA is tring to show off the new animation for throwing the ball away that they were talking and hyping about. It's just annoying now and really frustrates me

Plz man go play 2k5 or APF 2k8 or even Madden 04-06 last gen and see how real football is represented. Im trying to keep it professional and not get another infraction by saying something wrong and get banned, but people saying this game is the best football experience ever are making it very hard. I may even get banned for this reply, but i apologize. It had to be said.

Really, what I think it comes down to is that people just get caught up in the graphics. If this game didn't have the graphics like it does, I think people would realize how bad the gameplay is. It's like Madden 10 is a supermodel with the brains of a 5 year old. I mean we are all guys, so we are going to be enamored with looks and not really realize what is underneath.

Until she opens her mouth at least.

Even then, she might be someone to have some fun with, but never take too seriously.

I actually like the game, and am continously playing it, because of the gameplay. Graphics only go so far for me. A game can look good, but if it plays poorly, then I have no use for it.

For Madden 11? Use a new engine! Can players move more fluid and not in jerky movements? Improved line play, better receiver/defender interactions, MORE OPTIONS on CHALLENGE PLAYS, an animated sideline with actual reserves and not dummy bench warmers.

I'm hoping the backbreaker game is successful because we need some form of competitive fire lit under EA, even if the game isn't licensed by the NFL. Football videogames just isn't what it used to be anymore.

The more I play, the more I like it. Patch #2 was good.

I could care less about the graphics. I loved HH baseball because of the game play, not the graphics.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #2 Roundtable

I think this game is more far along than the last gen Maddens. What this version does so well is keep the exploits to a minimum. When I play a random online, I don't see one predominant style of play... people actually have to use their team's strengths. On the LG maddens people would follow a much more standard style of play in my opinion. That's what kills video games for me: once I realize that there's a predictable style of play or a way to exploit, I don't play it anymore. This game is more along the lines of APF in the sense that every game feels ripe with possibility. You don't exactly know how it'll end up. This is something I personally pushed kind of hard to EA, and they delivered IMO.

What's great is after the patch many of the short money plays can get punished BIG time by play calls that counter it. I just won a game online where I got 2 interceptions in the flat: 1 in a cover 2 zone and one in a cover 1.

The game isn't nearly as bad as many of you are making it out to be in my opinion. Of course I have things I'd like in the game, but in the grand scheme of things, I like what M10 offers.

Well i hav alot of money plays that continue to work. This why on our franchise on all-madden. we hav players who could score 80 points on the AI. Last gen maddens. the AI would learn ur plays, also they would put better DB on WR. Ive watched a lot of vids trying this on Madden 10, and they dont learn and they wont put there best DB on ur best receiver. So its a mismatch massacre every game.

Also on last gen maddens u could shade receivers to inside or outside. Patch 2 made the game playable, but it still doesnt represent real football IMO. I can still exploit the Ai to death with 1 play. I wanna say maybe nxt year the game will be on par with 2k5, but i dont wanna eat my words. So we will hav to w8 and see.

Yeah I can't speak for the AI too much. I'm an online only gamer so it really doesn't apply so much to me. I feel a great balance when playing other users personally. Of course I could write a massive list of things I want, but I definitely still enjoy this game and feel it is fairly deep.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Patch #2 Roundtable

Madden needs a new engine, its past due. Eloits are in abundance online and I dont even play the cpu because its too easy. If you turn th sliders all the way up its too unrealistic. If they get rid of ALL animations it will be better. Suction is a huge flaw that effects gameplay. But with pro tak to be expanded next year, I doubt a new rngine is in order. I dont know anything about programming but I wonder if they can remove animations and not change the game engine. Im talking about gameplay animations, not cut scenes
