IMO, RosettaStoned is just playing to his schtick.
I absolutely agree Madden 10 is far from perfect.
But Rosetta, as usual, cries out for attention and wants everyone to believe it sucks.
It doesn't. It is what it is - a good, not great representation of NFL football.
I am having fun with it, but I am under no illusion that it's perfect.
This game is on the same level as 09 for me. I actually played 09 every day for a few months. I don't have the desire to play this game nearly as much because it's not as fun.
The running game is broken. It is utterly fucking ridiculous that a player can constantly come running through my OLine with a linebacker and hit my HB 2 yards in the backfield every single fucking time.
The flats are constantly open. Doesn't even matter what coverage you are in sometimes. I can't tell you how many times I've had guys complete swing passes or quick outs to the flats when I've been in a cover 2 zone with the man align off.
If you control a highly rated DEnd with good speed you can get instant pressure on the QB easily. If you control an average DE and try the exact method to get pressure you will fail. Stupid.
DBs cover way too much ground. If you hit a post route over the safety playing robber in a cover 3 zone the corner should not be able to break up the pass or even pick it off. It's not his responsibility, you've made the correct read, this super AI is stupid.
The speed difference between players is so silly that it's made this game childish. I didn't know that only super fast players can run outside the tackles. Every back below 90spd in this game cannot run outside of the tackles. And every back with 94+ speed can break tackles and run through piles of defenders like tecmo bo.
I could go on with more but I'm hoping you get it by now.
This game is shit. We were promised "next-gen Madden" and we got nothing. I kept my mouth shut and reserved judgment until the game released and now it's time to voice my opinion. Just as Rosetta is doing.
This game is flawed as much, if not more than 09. The only reason I'm actually upset is because of all the bullshit Ian Cummings and those dickless cowards at EA fed us all...fucking...year...long.
Hell, even if you don't think this game sucks you should at least be disappointed in the fact that the game isn't great after all the bullshit blogs and "community days" they gave us? What a joke.
