Madden NFL 10 Videos: Madden Moments (IGN)

During the Steelers clip does the PA announcer really say that the winning fan gets an all-inclusive trip with the cheerleader of his choice?

[Bloppy]

Hahaha. Yeah I noticed that as well. Too funny.

Man Mathis got up field real fast in that Indy video. Just like the Colts ends do in real life. Glad to see they captured even a little bit of that personality on defense.

The end user tackles are good, but the cpu they just puzzyfoot around and play grab azz(old 70's football jargon, my era) Where are the hitters? the guys who aren't afraid to put their head in there. Give me tacklers or give me death, am I being overly dramatic?

Maybe a bit over dramatic.

In NCAA 10, there are bone jarring hits by the CPU that I just cringe. Here's hoping NCAA carries over to Madden.

Their is one good tackle in the steeler video at the 28 sec mark on W. Parker.

Is it me or is Addai's body off?

If no one scores during overtime then both teams lose. Ex: 2008 Eagles.

I'm talking about playoff tie-breaker scenarios:

http://football.about.com/cs/footbal...iebreakers.htm



1. Head-to-Head
2. Division Record
3. Common Games
4. Conference Record
5. Strength of Victory
6. Strength of Schedule
7. Combined Ranking Among Conference Teams (points scored and points allowed)
8. Combined Ranking Among All Teams (points scored and points allowed)
9. Net Points (common games)
10. Net Points (all games)
11. Net Touchdowns (all games)


Total number of points scored in regular season games CAN be used to determine certain tie-breakers for playoff spots and seeding.

Sure the Eagles may have won THAT ONE GAME by 6 points, but only being allowed to score 6 points in overtime instead of 7 prevents them from securing a playoff-tie breaker.

Had they scored the TD at the end of regulation, they would have been allowed to kick an extra point.

It seems silly to not allow it in overtime, since what would be the point of tying to win at that point? If they are not getting into the playoffs regardless of whether they win overtime at that point, they might as well let the other team win so they can move up a spot in the draft!

By denying the extra point in overtime, the rules remove the incentive to win in that situation.
