Offical Madden 10 Impressions Thread

[Maynard]

a few impressions.

The cpu FG need to slow the fuck down. once the play is called its snapped and over.

i was not feeling the slow speed. u guys all say u love it. I thought normal was to slow. i guess this is me being used to ncaa.

Browns Suck in this game

this game feels unpolished to me. player movement doesnt feel smooth or fluid like ncaa,

the sound track is amazing. the first time ever that i didnt shut off the music. Pantera FTW!

presentation is pretty solid.very pleased. Except that dam QB walk up to the LOS. I wish it was more random, cause this all the time shit is overkill.

I wasnt pleased with the ACC clock. I wish it would wind it down to 15, 20 or 25 seconds, not do a run off. Like others said, its always down to 15 seconds, then i still have to walk to the line and make adjustments.

The default fatigue setting is stupid. I had guys exhusted (red and gray) all game and at the end of the game they were nowhere to be found. FYI - 25 fatigue slider was too low. Nobody got tired at 25....maybe 35

CPU is trying to run the ball....i am happy they are trying....

Default CPU sliders were good except the CPU run game.....i bumped up cpu blocking and break block to 60 and LJ was 15 for 65....not bad

CPU pass rush felt like it was unfair compared to human pass rush....just like ncaa. Slider adjustments will be needed here

Browns Suck in this game

the power RB are kind of lame with the broken tackles....its like all the power backs run thru 10 guys like jim brown

the lame ass stand the runner up animation is over done.

PR game is great. I have Cribbs and he was able to do some good things on PR. KR were pretty solid for me too

i moved the player speed difference slider down to 25 and it felt pretty good at 25. fast players were able to break away....i think 30 may be the better number here

Overall i feel like its a good game....possibly great. imo, its a slowed down version of NCAA. which is a good thing. Everything i am seeing gameplay related is the same as i see in ncaa. Some things are overdone in madden animation wise and madden feels a little less smooth then ncaa, but its still a very solid game of football and worth spending the money

So far ive been really loving the expressions after Sacks, TD and etc.

i wanna see the backbreaker physics in madden in a couple years

I'm not getting any sacks because of how quick the CPU QB gets the ball out. It's quite frustrating.

Are you referring to the numerous wounded duck passes?

It's actually quite amusing how often it happens per game.

[Nukleopatra]

Do you guys all play on ALL-MADDEN? I feel like a little bitch down here on ALL-PRO.

I've been using custom, every possible setting.. Human shit set low, CPU maxed, nothing. Play action passing is ridiculously easy. You can hit just about everything over the middle. They never adapt to anything.

Are you getting the CPU to gain yards on the ground consistently on All-Pro?

[Nukleopatra]

No but I just figured it was my always stout Broncos run D....:devil:

I was thinking the same thing about my Detroit Lions season, but then I got to thinking again.

:devil:

Yeah that is one thing I really don't like. I'd like for EA to watch an NFL game and see if that happens 8 times a game. Through my first few games Stafford was sacked like 4 times total, but I guarantee that little wounded duck animation happened at least 15 times. So, realistically, with the Lions offensive line being shit I should've had way more sacks given up. Instead the ball just pops out and the wind blows it to the right 4 yards.

As far as the CPU running game goes, the elite backs usually bust one or two big gains on me, but other than that, its all either tackles for loss or 2-3 yard gains. Once in awhile they'll run for 5 or more yards.


The game has been fun for me so far, so thats all I really care about. It isn't what was promised, but most games rarely are.

[Derrville]

After a few months.... Its ok. Not the best Madden ive ever played, def best on next gen.

[Aso]

I still love the game and can't wait for the patch.

C.C. is f'n annoying. was hoping for different commentators this year.

[Big C-Dub]

why is everyone so skinny? Patrick Willis and Takeo Spikes look like freakin' DB's

[Lumpkin]

Probably been mentioned before but I took Superstar out for a spin the other day just for the hell of it and wow it sucks this year. They really put no effort into it. Its basically stripped down to just playing the game and a once a week practice. No hiring agents or any of the other stuff that used to be there. My RB I made was a 67 overall and yet was starting over Ryan Grant with no way to change it. I know its probably not a big deal to most since they don't bother with it, but for me it was something fun to take a break from franchise or online play. Hopefully they fix it up for next year.
