While this month’s edition of Gamepro is advertised as being the “first hands-on” preview of Madden 10 and from that it has delivered some new information. Copies are reaching subscribers and stores providing an opportunity to find out some new details about the game. Much of the preview goes over Pro-Tak and the graphical enhancements such as depth of field but there are some other interesting mentions.

There is a new injury system this year that adds a strategical element. The choice will be given to place an injured player back in the game or hold them out. Of course putting them back in will risk more severe injury.

Custom QB throwing-style animations

Players talking to each other on the sidelines, kickers warming up with the nets, players on exercise bikes, and fans bundling up in cold weather situations.

QBs can now throw passes into the dirt rather than just chucking it out of bounds.

Game speed has been slowed down by about 10%.

Madden IQ remains however it will be something calculated primarily in the background as opposed to the intrusive nature of last year.

They are also adding different run animations for positions. I saw the run animation for tight ends and it looks sweet. Real Talk!

http://www.operationsports.com Look at updated run animation. It is a running animation for Dustin Keller. It looks a like more realistic, like a tight end ready to run a fool over. This year madden is gonna be good. Real Talk!

Hopefully with game speed slowed down, it doesn't make the game too easy. I like the injury system implementation. I hope NCAA improves their injury management.

keeps getting better and better…..this might be the Madden we have been waiting for. Last year was NCAA for me, but this year Madden sounds awesome this year.

To be honest this Madden does sound good but my complaint wasn't how this Madden would be improved it was about serving the same stuff then adding previous elements and selling them as if they were new. It's 2009 it is time to be blown away. Look at iPod even though they add a few things every 6 months the new iPod Touch is off the hook. Madden is a billion dollar business they need to start acting like it.

The information they are putting out sound good and the screen shots look good too but they better deliver on the August release date if not then last year's 60 bucks I spent will be the last for this franchise

…finally a comment I can somewhat agree with. But hey, however it was in the past, I am just soo glad that we are finally getting what we wanted. This game has the potential to be the best one yet!

Now just give us custom playbooks and sub packages and I will be happy as sh!t…

There's something wrong with your thought processes. Obviously they're going to market it if it wasn't in the past few years…otherwise they're not marketing well. You're nitpicking one blog out of countless others about this year's version, and you even admit it sounds good…so what the hell?

Your analogies are awful too by the way. You can't just compare anything that changed to anything else. People say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but then time and time again I read some of the most idiotic analogies possible on the internet.

I just hope Madden 10 gives us a reason to finally forget the year 2005,but in dealing with EA,that is a longshot.

http://intensedebate.com/people/okafor43 okafor43

what happened in 2005?

http://intensedebate.com/people/BleedGreen BleedGreen

Next Gen Madden… That first game was the worst I have ever seen!

Quan

Yeah, I remember playing Madden NFL 06 on XBOX 360. I was like the only thing different is the graphics. But Madden 06 on PS2/GC/XBOX is better in gameplay in 06.

New throwing motions for QB's, but the same old PS2 throwing mechanics. Crap with some whipped cream on top, it looks better but I'm still not eatin it!

I just want them to change the Franchise so when I adjust the sliders for my running backs in simulation to 50-50 my backup will actually get a carry. I pisses me off when at the end of the season my #1 running back has all the yards when its 50 but the next year even my QB has more yards rushing and about 5 WR's when I switch back to 90-10 my back up gets at least 300 yards rushing.

Is anyone having problem that they have yet to talking about online leagues or online franchise. Dont get me wrong I like the the tweks but i would call them not new features. I have sim style football if madden trying proclaim there all about being real. then give the fan what they want. not just some fan service and say were working on it. Let be real the problem is you really cant make leaps in stride in one year. madden should be release every other year in my personal opinion and on the off years just do downloadable content updates.
what do we ask every year
REAL ONLINE LEAGUES
REAL ONLINE FRANCHISE
REAL HALFTIME SHOW
REAL POST GAME SHOW
but what do we get ?oh they put the net back up the ref are on the field excuse me but that was in last gen so tell me where is the leap were waiting for. This why EA should not have the sole license competition always brings out better performance. Screw the wildcat get what i really want sim football

There's going to be a online franchise, EA has already confirmed it., THey are going to talk about those feautures at e3.
I'd rather them focus on fixing the core gameplay first.

Pastapadre, How about some franchise tune ups??? Please tell me EA will fix the franchise mode. Right now franchise is garbage. I would also like to see better game presentation. It just doesnt feel right.
