Offical Madden 10 Impressions Thread

[A Tasty Burgerr]

Can anyone tell me what kind of OVR the default EA-generated rookies have by round. It would be greatly appreciated.

[Nukleopatra]

Any of you guys have any sliders yet?

[Derrville]

You know there is a fatigue slider, right?

Do you know that for sure? Because there was also supposed to be a replay slider thats not in the game.

I just got an illegal forward pass penalty

Did the ref just move his arms in silence or did he actually say something? When it happened to me he just stood around like a retard waving his arms.

haha, I had the TV on mute so I got no idea. that shit's funny tho.

OK. I have played it enough now to say - two thumbs up.

It takes a lot to make me happy.

Madden 10 makes me happy.

Is it perfect? No.

Is it the best next-gen Madden by a wide, wide margin? Yes

I know a few people here will say "Dave went to the communty event, he's biased."

Fair enough. I understand the sentiment.

But seriously, this game is borderline (but not quite) great. I hear the comparisons to MLB The Show. I don't buy those comparisons from a presentation point of view, but this game is close to The Show.

I would like better CPU AI and significantly better commentary, but this game is a big step ahead for the Madden series.

Dave with the two thumbs up?? Nice. I really am getting sick of waiting for this game.

[DoubleDeuce]

Gah I can't wait to get this game. Too bad I'll have to wait longer than all you pricks.

this is by far the worst impressions thread ever.

BEST MADDEN EVER

Those are not impressions, they are a short cut to thinking

I will wait 1 month before giving my judgment.... Everyone said Madden 09 was the best ever then 3 months down the road we trashed it.

[DoubleDeuce]

I never said Madden 09 was the best ever lol. I played it for a few days, and then played NCAA after that

From the games that i have played.

Standing in the pocket it much more realistic now. There are real drop backs and the pocket just forms around you, but if you hold onto the ball like you could in cheesy maddens your either getting hit or sacked. It forces you to make throwing progressions, like a real quarterback.

Running wise, it's not as hard as people make it out to be. Just hold off the turbo and turn it up as soon as you hit the hole. It's going to take a lot of patience and actual skill this year running the ball. Power backs>speed backs so far imo. Brandon Jacobs was a lot more dominating than a player such as Reggie Bush. The rare blend like Stephen Jackson is orgasmic(sorry maynard).

From a personal standpoint, i find stopping the CPU QB pretty hard, robo QB is definitely back in the game. The stats will say Peyton Manning goes 21-31 for 400 yards, but those 10 incompletions are very spaced out, as he becomes impossible to stop once gaining momentum. Yet again, it is pretty easy to stop the CPU run game, but user v user seemed great this year.

Gameplay has been smooth..there is the occasional hiccup coming out of the playcall screen or when a receiver is in motion, but lag free/glitch free so far in-game. Much more animations as you can see, no more motoring around the pocket with the DE.

Definitely the best Madden i've played on the 360.

Yeah this is a bad thread for impressions but I think its a good sign. Guys are glued to the game instead of writing long posted about how this game sucks.

[Bomberooski]

Well good or bad thread it's got my excitement through the roof.
