Cleveland's Finest Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/101/1011937p1.html As leaves turn brown and the temperature drops the videogame industry knows that a new Madden game is just around the corner. Madden NFL 10 hits store shelves on August 14 and comes with new modes, gameplay tweaks and broadcast-style presentation changes that most football fans will appreciate. There are issues with some of the new aspects that have worked their way into Madden (and things that have been taken out), but there's no denying that this is the best pure football experience in videogame history. Let's start on a positive note. This is the best looking Madden game yet. From the look of players on the field to new presentational elements, you've never seen a football game like this before. EA Sports has gone to great lengths to make the experience of playing a standard game of Madden as close to the real thing as possible and it shows. You'll see players getting yelled at on the sidelines, refs debating touchdown calls, and pre-game warm ups on the field with a bit of insight from Tom Hammond and Chris Colinsworth. It's all very conducive to convincing you that you're totally in control of a standard NFL football broadcast on Sunday. Yes, I'm even talking about the constant Snickers and Sprint sponsorships that pop up at certain times during a contest. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/101/1011937p1.html It got an 8.9. I'm mad that the commentary is that bad. It sounds horrible. So does "The Extra Point" commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Damn, why did they bring those dudes back? I hated their commentary on 09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Malone Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) They purposely did that so they can change it next year, call it madden 11 and you will think its the best game ever...... duuuhhhh.

EastCoastNiner Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 It sucks that 2K can't make NFL games anymore. EA knew that Madden wasn't as good, and they bought the rights, and now they can make minor improvements each year, so it looks like they are trying to make the game better.

bigdog17k Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Is it just me or does it feel like EA never does anything to drastically change tha game. It's like they tweak tha graphics and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenneral Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 We hate it cause EA don't care. We luv it cause it's football.QFT. I bought NCAA 10 a few weeks ago. I highly doubt I'm going to buy Madden as it's essentially the same thing as years past with just new player names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I got chance to play the full game at Best Buy today...and it is sick(couldn't really hear the commentary too well, so can't comment on that yet) And Anthony Gonzalez has magnet hands all of the sudden...it was irritating me lol Penetration on defense feels a bit awkward at times(after getting used to the LB and RB lol) but when you get used to it, it feels fluid. And it is ALOT easier to run. The cpu doesn't pick up on every screen play you do now either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
