Madden NFL 10 Hands-On Preview (Teamxbox)

[darrenp1518]

I mean think about how often the nfl game changes from year to year.....NOT MUCH.

This isnt grand theft auto where you have to come up with different storylines every year. The goal here is to produce as realistic of a product as possible and I really, really, really applaude Ian because this pro-tak thing is the single biggest idea in any sports game to date and it will make madden rival with MLB 09 the show especially if they can implement the depth of field and player lighting the way MLB 09 improved upon 08 in that regard.

The pro tak feature can be expanded upon every year and i personally dont care if it isnt perfect in year one nor do i expect it to be. But it opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for a football game.

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

This is starting to get reee-damn-diculous already. It's like some people are not even reading what A. Ian said about the interface of the game, or B. The people HERE that have played the game. As soon as somebody says something that people constrict as being negative, all hell breaks loose. And quite honestly, when it comes to sports games, why in the hell are you listening to those sites anyway!?!? Most of those sites don't know a good SPORTS game from a hole in the wall. I can't tell you guys what to think, but I do know this, I would/will continue to listen to Ian and the guys here that have played over those other sites. That's just me though.

Look forward to seeing more in-game footage for mysel but I have to admit I was expecting more dazzle out of these early hands on reviews...

Most of these reviews then go on to talk about the difference tackling, the pocket or injury system make. Also i gather that these people got a very limited demo build of only Madden moments at this point and probably haven't spent enough time to form a valid opinion on game play. To me it seems like "hey we played the demo for 30-45 minutes, lets spit out some marketing jargon that has been written down for us" It's a little too early to say the game is or isn't improved. I'll reserve that judgment to I start seeing long game play clips and actually trying the game.

Exactly. I wont even bother reading this after reading all these responses. I'm gonna do my best to avoid any kind of previews for Madden and NCAA this year.

Wow, This is JUST LIKE what was happening after the AP2K8 Trailer dropped 2 years ago. All the back and forth speculation, the up and down game site reviews. The forum debates and speculation.

If it all holds to form like it did for AP2K8 and we dont have a Star Trek time travel scenerio happen, Madden 2010 is gonna be THE BEST football game of all Time.

With that said....I dont think we are really gonna know if this game is gonna be bust or boom till we see some finished product gameplay footage. Which we probably wont see until the middle of July.

Here is a question, what do you expect the game to feel like. Smooth chocolate pouring over your skin, the sense of touch from a hooker in new york city caressing your buttocks? The sharp shrilling pain of being stabbed in the heart? I dont get you what you guys want this gaem to feel like. ITs football, its supposed to feel like football. And thats exactly what it feels like. There is no difference between 09 - 10, there is no diffference in "feeling" from 89 to 2010 ITS FOOTBALL! The differences you are going to SEE not FEEL are the protak, the new gang tackles, the new passing animations, the speed of the game. The injury systems and the COUTNLESS other options that EA has put into the game to make it better and BE DIFFERENT from last years or the year befores or 20 years before that. There is no new graphic technology, there is no new way to kick a football, and the runningbacks wont start running backwards to make the game FEEL different. If you want to FEEL something, go watch Doctor Phil, this is football. Play it and shut fhe **** up!
