So yeah... I don't see why people are getting worried over that statement. I guess it's just people misinterpreting it...

Very good! Another person that can read!

I understand why people take it the wrong way. But the author of this review was talking about controls. A lot of sports games are switching from buttons to analog controls (NHL and Fight Night, MLB 2k9, etc) so he obviously had that on his mind and wanted to explain that the game hasn't changed its control scheme.

I'm just happy to hear that seemingly, size and ratings matter in Madden '10'. To me...thats huge.

My confidants level in M10 remains pretty high.

If you're going to include that sentence, then you should include the part afterwards where the writer says "the results are much different". He points out the upgrades in tackling and the more realistic results of the plays. Does it feel similar to last year's game? Yes. But does it play out the same? No.

Exactly. Unfortunately there are certain people on this board that look to purposely take things out of context to get the intended result they desire.

It's along the same lines of "selective hearing".

Let's force everyone to read on:

Those who have played the last few Madden games will have no troubles jumping in and running an offense or defense. The results of these plays in Madden NFL 10, however, are often different than in its predecessor.

THAT is the important part about that quote. People need to stop ignoring things on purpose.

The old "jam the stick down and run around at the snap" technique doesn't put you in the best position anymore. More than once, I instinctively took off running, only to be greeted by a sack at the hands of an end or linebacker. But when I broke that habit, I found I could slip around, even step up, and buy the time to make a play.

Great News...^^^

Thank you. These anti EA crusaders are starting to aggravate the hell out me, lol. Totally ingnored the rest of the paragraph, lol. Dudes are funny man. Now let me break it down barney style. Its Madden, so you'll be able to jump right in and play, no worries, just like you could with every Madden that has ever been released.

However, the outcome will be different because of ratings having the proper effect, pro tak, and whatever else they've thrown in there for good measure.

I dont understand the crusaders trying to find something wrong. If you dont like Madden, I dont get why you are in a Madden forum pretending that you want to like it, then as soon as you percieve something amiss, you commence to doing what you're actual intentions were from the start.

I'm not trying to be crass or rude honestly, but....why are you here? Madden could be the best thing since sliced bread and there are folks who still would hate on it. Why not just leave?
