There are many new enhanced graphics and visuals. The experience can be additionally enhanced with a HDTV. Overall, the whole game is a lot more lively and vivid than the last. Many visuals seen on the game are usually seen on Sundays. The new player models are excellent and the uniforms look superb. On one cutscene, the texture of the uniforms can be seen. In the previous next-gen versions of Madden, many of the player models were kind of bulky looking. Now, the players are built more realistically. New uniform accessories have been added, such as towels, hand warmers, team colored gloves, and team colored cleats. They are not the same boring black and white cleats, which was on the previous versions. For the first time, uniforms can be interchanged, as well. Seen on Sundays During the game, many details and animations can be seen on the game, fan interactions, QBs talking on the phone, coaches ranting, players talking on the sidelines, kickers practicing kicks, players riding the exercise bike, referee interactions and chain gains. One of the coolest features is seeing fans leave early, if their team's game has gotten way out of hand. It is also quite funny. Game Play The game play is better. First off, the game speed can be adjusted. Many of you played the demo and didn't like the speed of the game. Well, it can go from very slow, slow, normal, fast and very fast. Also, EA has added a new threshold differential. This means setting to the higher the level will give the player less of a disparity between the fast and slow players. A lower setting will increase the disparity. The player animations and movements are realistically fluid and not robotic, such as the previous versions. I noticed on some movements, the players use more momentum. Players can't just break out and turn different corners, quickly, like they are on wheels. They actually bend and don't stay upright, while turning a corner. Sometimes, the player may have to make a cut, in order to head up field. The best animations are while going through the hole. Pressing the directinal buttons will make the RB make many different cuts. Time them right and the defender can be juked. Typically, juking could only be done by spinning. The player animations have improved. Players fall many different ways. Sometimes, it even seems as if they are going to break out of a tackle, then they start to fall. There have been times when I was on the edge of my seat because I thought my player was breaking the last tackle in order to "take it to the house", but he goes down. Not to bad. The Pro-Tak is realistic. The players pile up, when necessary. It is not an every down occurrence. Keep in mind, different modes carry different Pro-Tak results. The game is very competitive!!! Even this year's version of All-Pro is a lot harder than the previous versions. Players cannot expect to just dominate the game above the Pro level. Many glitches from the previous version have been neutralized, as well. Also, the computer does not make themselves sitting ducks for hit-stick tackles, such as previous versions of Madden. They do more weaving on this game, which is fine. Flaws There are a few things that disturb me about the game. The first issue is the new running motions of the players. It seems like they run with their heads down. They also look as if they are just struggling to try to run. In addition, every player runs in the same motion. The previous Madden had at least 3 or 4 different running motions. The next issue is the new "fight for the fumble" feature and the chain gang. "Fight for the fumble" is a joke. It is like a mini game, which you have to press various buttons rapidly in order for possession to be gained. There was a play, which the player fumbled and two of my team members dove on the ball. Clearly, I had possession of the football. Unfortunately, I still had to fight for the football and lost possession of the recovery. Of course, this feature can be turned off. The chain gang will drive you crazy. Every single time you have a nine yard play, the chain gang comes out. I mean, lots of times, you know that you didn't get a first down. What is worse, this feature cannot be skipped. Some of the cutscenes get repetative. During the game, you will constantly see the same cutscenes, which involve the same position players. For example, when you see the QB talking on the phone, you see the FS over his left shoulder, each time. Then, you will see the triplets sitting down (QB, RB and WR). Then, when a play goes awry, the coach will be ranting at a player who had nothing to do with the play going wrong. For example, if the QB throws a pick, the coach will rant at the OL. Why not the QB? If the QB throws a pick, he yells...

This review is from: Madden NFL 10 (Video Game) Let me start off by sating that this is the best madden I have ever played. Yet, for the price, I still feel like Ive been scammed for some reason. I'm fine with paying for a quality game like MGS4, COD4 MW, COD Modern Warfare 2, Gran Turismo, etc.. I feel that this game was rushed, and that the preview blogs that they posted moths before the launched made me feel like that this is going to be one of those top tier games. They worked on the visual details so much that they didnt spend enough time on the actual gameplay. Pros: 1. The claim that they made that whatever you see on Sundays is what you will see on the game is true. You will see every detail on the player (towels, handwarmers, type of sleeve, type of helmet down to the exact model and facemask, gloves). Referees are there and so are the chain gangs and coaches. 2.The mechanics have slightly improved. You can now adjust the game speed based on you preference. The routes WRs run have been improved (more realistic). Cons: THERE ARE MANY 1.Franchise Mode lacks a lot. The Injury system has improved but only on the short term (during games). In the long term (season), injury sys. is still unrealistic. For example, If a player tears his ACL completely during the Pre-Season, he will be out for the season and available the following season. Taken into acct that ACLs take about 1 year to heal with surgery, this is accurate. But one of my guys tore an ACL, during the NFC Championship game and he was out for the season, but was available at the start of the following season. Considering that the NFC Champ. games is in late Jan. and the start of pre season is in Aug., thats only 6 1/2 months. There is no way a player can come back from a complete ACL tear in 6 months. Also, the players are too agressive in contract signings. I played as the Eagles one time and their heir apparent at QB, Kevin Kolb wanted M for a 4 year contract, and McNabb was still on the team. Kolb had done nothing for the team except for holding kicks, and he wants M. That's absurd! He wasnt even that good, He was ated in the 70s. Then the next year Ellis Hobbs was asking for another M+ contract, FOR BEING A NICKELBACK!! I think Madden should take into acct the roles that each player plays on the team and how they should negotiate in contracts. A player that I drafted 2nd overall(QB) wanted a 6 year M contract and he hasnt even proven anything, He is worse than his real life counter-parts. I can tell you for sure that Matt Ryan, Matt Stafford, Mark Sanchez, and Joe Flacco didnt get that kind of contract. They should use the contract system from NFL Head COach 09 which implemented bonuses, because in this game the GM (you ) have no leverage against them. If you dont sign them they go to Free Agency and you will be mad at wasting that 2nd overall pick. 2. More from FRANCHISE MODE The Madden people claim that there will be a different feeling in playing regular season games than playoff games. Personally, I dont see a difference. The cut scene after winning the SB is always the same and looks so fake. On the makeshift stage that the winners stand on, its always the QB who holds the MVP trophy no matter who wins it. A WR or TE can be MVP and you will still see the QB holding the trophy in the end. Also, the cutscenes get annoying and most of it is cheesy. What annoys me out of all of them is the chain gang measuring the spot scene. If you pick up 9 yards on 1st and 10 and can clearly see that the ball didnt make it across, the cuscene would still play. Whats annoying is that if you gain 9yds, the ball is 1yd behind the 1st down marker, in the cutscene they make it look like the ball is 2in from the 1st down marker.Madden only has 3 or 4 spots that the ball is in during that cut scene (2in short, 1 foot short, ball halfway past stick, and ball completly past the stick) Even if youre downed 1yd past the 1st down, when the cutscene plays, the ball will be at most 1/2 past the stick, but when it comes back to the regular view, the ball gets spotted 1yd past the stick. 3.Players on the sideline. Everytime the game cuts to a scene showing the entire sideline, the are two groups of players who do the same thing, they are even snchronized. 4. Limited playbook The playbook is so limited. There are no trick plays to run, and the sub packages feature has been removed.Now you have to indv sub your players to change packages. To touch on the playbook, it is so limited. I wish that they would update the playbooks like they do with the roster. Heck, the eagles dont even have a wildcat set for Mike Vick. 5.Wildcat Its good that they put in the wildcat formation in the game. But its basically useless. First off, you cant audible out of it and you cant hot route out of it. If you play in anything higher than PRO difficulty,...

I thought vision was actually pretty cool back then. I decided to take the plunge and buy the Madden 10 game for the PS3, and honestly, I was very disappointed. Overall the game looks really good on my nice HDtv, but EA is really trying to nickel and dime the consumer with all this Downloadable content that was already included in the series before DLC was available. I'm going to go through every aspect of the game and I think many of you will know what I am talking about. Superstar mode My biggest gripe about this madden game is that they completely ruined superstar mode where you create a player and play him as a rookie. You can't workout or anything to improve your players ratings. You have one practice a week and then you play the game, but no matter how well you play, your ratings don't improve or progress. I had the sim the rest of the year to find out that ratings will only go up at the end of the year. But don't fret, if you're impatient, you can pay for DLC that will give your player the max progression for that year or make him a leader of the team. That is ridiculous, these use to be in the Madden game in 2005, now they want you to pay an extra 2 dollars to get it. They also got rid of email or cell phone messages and the ability to select an agent. I thought it was cool when I got an email from my mom congratulating me on winning the offensive player of the week award. There is also nothing to do during the offseason. You can't star in a movie or anything fun anymore. Franchise mode EA also did a wonderful job of stripping this down as well. It just seems like you have less options. You don't have a budget to control, you can't increase or decrease ticket prices, you can't do any improvements on your stadium. I liked being able to customize my team after a few years in Madden 05, now I can't do any of this. You sim through, play the game, then you practice, then you play another game and the cycle continues. You can't really do anything else. It's quite boring. Online game-play This is the only worthwhile thing I enjoy about Madden 10. You can play others online. There are four modes you can play. There is a ranked single player game, an unranked scrimmage, and an co-op mode, and an online franchise mode. Most of these modes are great, except when they aren't working. I play using my comcast internet connection and get disconnected often which is ridiculous. When this happens, you get an automatic loss and a blemish on your record even when you're winning the game. I know it's not my internet connection, so it's something on EA's part. Their servers has always been known to be very craptacular. I decided that I would get all my trophies for madden, but i can't because the last trophies I neen require that I play the online co-op mode, but it is uber buggy. This mode is meant for you to play against the computer with another live person on your team. The problem is, everytime you start the game, you get the message "the connection with your peer has been lost". This problem has been made known to EA for some time and they have yet to release a patch to address this. I have not tried the online franchise mode, but have heard that it is buggy as well. Each copy of madden comes with one redemption code you need to use to activate the online franchise mode on ONE profile. The only problem is that I'm not the only person that plays madden on my PS3. If someone else wanted to use the online franchise feature on their PSN ID, they have to shell out another 10 bucks. Now if I sell my Madden 10 game, it's basically worth 10 dollars less because the redemption code is non transferrable. This is just another way that EA is trying to nickel and dime you. EA does provide a roster update almost weekly that adjusts for how a player is doing in real life or any trades that might happen which is cool. Other Small things I noticed -Commentary is repetitive and very awkward sounding. The same things are said at the end of the game replacing the team names. -Freezing occurs sometimes for no reason -You can't throw a deep pass over 30 yards even when your receiver is already past the secondary as the receiver will slow down and the safety and cornerback speed up to get to the spot of the ball and swat it down. This shouldn't happen when the receiver is Steve Smith of the Panthers. -Wildcat formations are almost unstoppable. -The new fight for the fumble feature sucks. Two of my guys would land on the ball, but I would lost the fumble recovery because I lose at mashing buttons in the mini game. -Playstation Network and EA works on their servers quite a bit which make online play unavailable for a few hours which is annoying as this is the best feature in madden. -That's all I...
