Madden NFL 10: The Wrong Name Choice

My initial reaction to hearing Madden NFL 10 is currently being prepped as the name for next year’s Madden was of surprise. I mean it just sounds and looks awkward. Most expected EA to go with Madden NFL 2010 which is neither of those things.

So I put up the poll this last weekend and it became quickly evident that the community agreed. Not only did Madden 10 trail Madden 2010 in the voting, it also came in behind the two other choices presented. Madden 10 has received only 7% of the votes while 2010 is tracking at 59%. Given that over 1700 votes have already been cast that is a significant sampling to consider.

Continue to vote in the poll below as to which name you think would be best.

I think people dont care wat the name is lets talk about the things they need to do to make the gameplay a lot more realistic like who david tyree made that catch and they put it on the game that same year it dont matter what they call it they could call it fuck yo mamma andyou will still buy it for 65.00 dollars but we nelet the refs call bad calls let players pay bad under pressure wit bad records vs teams they play bad against let there be career ending injuries and momentum change and let there be toughest stadiums to play in (like college), let there be players unhappy in franchise mode and n accomplishment list in franchise mode for players on your team and new rivals like if you play a franchise mode and you have a battle after battle wit a certain team they become a rival. to ea people and i know you read this (cause this is where you get your ideas is the fans) MAKE MORE REALISTIC LIKE WHY ON 09 WE COULD ONLY JUMP IN CERTAIN CROWDS THE RAIDERS JUMP IN THE BLACK HOLE ALL THE TIME THATS NOT RIGHT IF NOBODY LIKES MY COMMENTS E MAIL ME AND WE COULD TALK ABOUT WAT REALLY NEEDS TO B DONE!!!!!

Madden 10 must deliver on the smallest details. They have failed miserably over the last 5 years and have yet to provide full ESPN integration – identical to that of the best football game ever created – NFL2K5.

MLB The Show 09 raised the bar on the level of detail that can be incorporated into a sports video game. This game is now the benchmark for all sports video games. There is no reason why Madden should exclude the "Playoff" logos from the field during playoff games. The same is true with the different team logos on each endzone during the Super Bowl. Enough of this generic, cookie-cutter crap. NFL2K5 had all of this, including F-16 fighter jets flying over the field and a great Super Bowl celebration at the end to boot.

MADDEN MUST DELIVER for the 2010 version or I will not buy this game!

Its irrelevant what the next game is called. Its all about the game play. There needs to be upgrades on the cheerleaders not the title.
