Offical Madden 10 Impressions Thread

[adembroski]

I'm Not going to say too much but this is THE GREATEST MADDEN EVER PERIOD!!!!!! That is all...................

Not to say I don't like the game, I do, I love it, but... isn't that kinda like being valedictorian at summer school?

Adem, any Franchise mode impressions?

When someone plays an online game, please post impressions. Lag, any disconnect problems, etc.

There was some lag, especially at the menu's and kickoff. Lag during gameplay wasn't too bad.

They did something beyond stupid though. If you're playing a random you can see what playbooks they use and uniform changes. No biggie right?

Except that the playbook screen, and ready screen, completely block out what team they choose. So, if a person is "ready" before you enter the pick-a-team screen you don't know what team they are using. Just a big black box that says ready that completely covers the logo.

Very annoying.

Couple things I noticed right away:

1) Procedural awarness still doesn't exist. I played against Davon, called a curl/flat play. Keith Bullock vs my slot WR (Collier, I was the Colts). I had man coverage, my slot had outside leverage and the LB turned and chased him.

I throw the pass, little tough under it, Bullock makes a leaping INT on a ball he never saw and returned it for a pick. Go figure.

Couple other situations where LB's made plays on seam routes they never saw.

It's not quite as bad as before, but it isn't gone.

2) Coverage over the middle is still to weak. There are various factors, but regardless of the reasons, the drag pattern is still money.

3) Cameras blow. The default camera still leads to INT's because you can't see the corners. The new "wide" camera is too far away. I don't know why they don't just have the camera pan backwards on pass plays like EVERY OTHER FOOTBALL GAME (Last gen, 2k ect..) but I digress.

4) Draw plays work. I've had a few nice ones already.

Thanks for the info.

AP or AM?

And which you like the best?

Speed?

Alright so what the fuck?

I'm playing on All-Madden as the Ravens against the Browns.

4th quarter, game is tied, Browns are driving on me, neither of us have any timeouts. Browns throw a pass to their TE and get the ball to my one yard line with about 20 seconds left. They line up for a field goal, presumably to win as time expires.

Then they just let time expire without kicking the ball.

What the fuck? How do they miss shit like this?

I've heard that it's a pain to set up PB audibles.

Is that true? Do your offline formation subs carry over online or will you have to manually do it every game?

Good question. I also want to know about depth chart. Can you save that and use it online?

I'm loving the game so far.I've played a game online vs my friend very smooth.Only thing I dislike is accelerated play clock is online for rank games.My friend got the ball the second half.He had the ball all of the 3rd quarter.The clock takes 15 seconds off, which pretty much blows

 

[Bomberooski]

One thing I just saw that did not make me happy.

Game is tied 10-10. 4:37 left in the 4th quarter. I'm going for the field goal to take the lead. Kick is up and in but wait, holding on the offense. Go to kick the field goal again and the same thing happens. Now it's a 51 yarder and in Madden those don't come easy. I shank the kick and the Bears get the ball.

Two holding penalties back to back? GTFO

That's an easy fix houtz. Quit cheating! Classic Dolphins fan

I'll just stay the hell away from the CPU for now on. I'm ready to get my Madden on. The rest of you mfers need to pick up the game.

Maybe you should tell EA to release the game tomorrow so we can!

Of you can just hook me up with a copy

Man I wish.... and reading all these good things about the game makes the wait alot harder. I think I'm going to ban myself from here till Thursday.

 

[Point Blank]

I'm loving this game. I'll have my impressions tomorrow if I can get my hands off of the controller.

 

[godspeed]

Is there any way to change that close up zoomed in camera once the player is tackled? It's really annoying.

 

[Bomberooski]

I'm starting to hate you guys who get it early

LOL.... I'm mad at EA for shipping it so early. They should of know this was going to happen and should of just change the date to Aug 11th.

 

[jeffx]

Any bugs in Franchise Mode? That's the main reason I stayed away from next-gen Madden.

 

[Coach]

I think the player speed has changed some...I was playin against the Raiders online yesterday and Jamal Lewis broke an 80yd run for a TD and his speed is 83!!! The Raiders have a speedy D but no one could catch him.

To the guys that have the game, I was wondering about the games played in the rain. Do the guys uniform get covered in mud like last year, to were you could hardly see the names and numbers?
