Madden 10 Demo Impressions

[BigBucs]

I just played my 1st game as the Cards and won 28-10 on All-Pro. I was winning 21-10 when the Steelers were trying to put together a last drive to save face with about 25 secs left and forth and goal on my 4 yards line Ben drops back, throws and is picked by Carlos Dansby. On the 1st play of my drive with 18 seconds or so left I break a 92 yard TD run with Beanie Wells while being chased by Ike Taylor and Troy Polamolu.

I like it very much. They did a good job with the fan presentation. They copied 2k big time. I seen a guy with the d-fence sign. The Steelers fans got up to leave when Ben got picked off and I seen Cards fans talking shit to the Steelers fans after I broke that long TD. It also looked like Wisenhunt was gonna cry when the camera flashed to him with a few seconds left in the game.

I see the 1st down measuring and the refs talking over whether or not you got in for a TD or not can be repetitive. I had 4 1st down measurements and 2 close calls on TDs and the cut scenes were all the same. Overall very solid game.

I feel like the gameplay in Tecmo Bowl was more user friendly and faster paced

[BigBucs]

Game speed didnt bother me much. What did bother me was my controller shaking whenever pressure closed in. I thought I was sacked a few times lol.

This isn't the speed that online will be played at. This is 13% slower than last year. Online will only be 5%. Not to mention you can change the default speed once you get the game.

thats nice and all i pretty much only play online i need this game to be about 70% faster than this turtleball im playing now.

I hope the idiots that bitched about the gameplay being too fast are happy.

What are the controls? I can't change my primary receiver or figure our what the Right stick does on D this year. How do you steer tackles?

[MVP1991]

Speed is too slow. Camera angle is shit. Hope you can change that.

you can change both

[GridironWarrior]

How do you change the primary receiver before the snap? And do I do swims and rips? Run game is hard still. Gonna take a lot of practice.

this demo is taking forever, its been going for about an 1 and a half hours and its only at 20%....WTF!!

I DLed about 2 hours ago, it took maybe 5 minutes.

[GridironWarrior]

Right analog stick to do D-line moves.

So left and right are swim moves I guess? What does up and down do? And how can I change my primary wr before the snap?

[GridironWarrior]

And how do you steer tackles? Weird that don't include instructions in the pause menu. Still loving the game though.

[Lupe]

Sometimes I feel when I hit the right stick on PS3 to the left or right to juke It feels like he does the move half a second after I hit the stick to do it. Looking at alot of the replays with the instant replay it looks really fake. On a couple sacks I got on Warner it looked terrible. I understand it's a demo and theres still alot of bugs but really the graphics are great but the animations are poorly done in the demo. I hate to see Fitz catch a deep pass then get tackled by 2 steelers and his head is in one of the steelers asses on the instant replay.

Suuuuuuuuuuuure.

I guess I'm a minority with the game speed. Slower is less hery jerky and MUCH less chaotic. NCAA 10 is like a prison breakout every play. Just a bunch of bodies all over the field.

[MVP1991]

I think "normal" will be a perfect pace. I enjoy the demo a lot tho. Definitely think this might be one of the best Maddens to date.

I'm really liking it too but will bump up the speed setting to normal and change the camera angle on the retail version.
