Quick Madden 10 Demo Thoughts

Lack of a pass rush against the CPU has been a problem for years. I'm not sure EA knows how to fix it. Maybe sliders will help?

What about Robo-QB? Does the CPU QB still complete 90% of his passes?

My Xbox broke, have to wait awhile before I can play this. Looks great though!

i like it the game speed is more real now..and you cant rocket catch i use to do it its hard to defend but this year tings will b a bit harder…..one thing i kinda dont like is the fight for fumbles cuz i LOST ALL OF THEM but its the comp i will have a dif feel for it if its a real person but i love madden n think this year is more realistic than some passed years

Is there any reason why only Madden 10 videos run slow on my computer?

I have played the demo about 3 times and it only made me more excited for Aug 14th. Personally, I absolutely love the slower game speed. For me, I feel like the slower the game is the better it is for seeing running lanes develope.

After what I've seen in the Demo, Madden 10 will certainly be the Sports Game of the Year, a what EA was trying for when they created Madden '09.

And for the record, I have had absolutely ZERO problem with the pass rush in the demo….Justin Tuck is a beast!

I had my fair share of pass rushing as well. Just used the right stick to spin left or right off of the o-line and I got some good pressure on them.

BTW, GOOD WRITE UP PASTA!

I saw quite a few missed throws – whether it was overthrown into tight coverage, tipped at the line, fluttering duck from getting hit, or just rushed due to pressure…and this was from the CPU

Great write up pasta agree with you 100% on everything you said. I myself love the demo, and just can't wait for the full game. I have never wanted a game more than this game right now.

I played the demo with some friends. Not bad, but have to get used to it. There are still some big problems though… 1. Everytime a pass was picked, the CB/Safety returned it for a touchdown. They are too fast to catch up to and too hard to tackle. My friends and I has like 8 pick 6's in like 4 games. EA really needs to do something with that. Also, its to east to get to the QB! Whenever I blitzed 5 guys they got through too quickly and either got a sack or caused the QB to throw a high short lob while getting hit. Also the QBs overthrow everything too much and everyone keeps slipping in the snow. I do not see that many people slipping in a real NFL game. Just some of my thought, like to know what you guys think…

Its funny you guys talk about pass rush I've been getting hits on the quarter back in both demo's, there not sacks every time but enough pressure to cause a bad throw or a deflection i love what i've seen so far I hate to say this but good job EA DAMN!!!

Thanks Ian Cummings for the best sports game of all time. I returned NCAA 10 for full price and will only play this demo. Pasta This will be game of the year/century for sports games. PS: BEST GAME EVER

I played the short demo, and the thing that really sold it to be was very small – footprints in the snow. The gameplay is good, the presentation is awesome. It's just little things like that that have been missing from this generation of football. Glad to see Madden got things back on the right track.

Hopefully, upon release, this is not the bug infested "freeze on contact" that Madden 09 was. I like what I see. They seem to be getting back to trying to do the basics right. They added some things to the presentation (which is good) and it appears like they are beginning to listen to the community about what we want. What makes NHL such a great series is they keep it simple, and add a few things every year. The engine is there. I drop 60 bucks every year knowing NHL is going to be good. Madden needs to get their consumer confidence level to that of NHL. Add features don't subtract. If its in the game, put it in the game. And listen to guys like Pasta.

Pasta, do you know if you will be able to choose what you want challenge when you challenge a call? Like challenging whether the pass was complete to allow for a fumble to occur. In 09 the only thing that would have reviewable was the fumble. The reason I ask is because I had a few plays that was challenged and nothing was presented on what was to be challenge. This is a big need to add to the realism factor.

Looks like Madden is bitting from ESPN NFL2K… The whole Super Bowl Show. The way the challenges look, gang tackleing, different camera angles when walking up to the line after picking your play, and a host of other thngs…
Its crazy!!!!!

I think Madden 10 has finally done it. This is coming from a guy who was a HUGE 2k5 person. I ran an online league for 5 full seasons and almost a 6th. 2k5 was an experience… online that is. People forget how screwed up the franchise mode got offline in just a few seasons. The AI for transactions was so bad I could not play it more then a season or two. If EA would just use the ESPN elements they would send 2k5 talk to the grave.

I think EA did basically study 2k5 for the first time ever… at least seriously. I think it plays more at the speed of 2k5 now as well. The only thing they need to match with 2k5 now is the running game.

Madden 10's online franchise already beats 2k5. Even though Madden does not have the salary cap in online franchise they do have free agency and progression within the league. 2k5 had none of that. Heck 2k5 didn't have the divisions.

The number 1 reason I say EA has finally done it is this… half of the posts from 2k supporters have now turned from "What a great game 2k5 was" to "If 2k had been able to make a game the past 5 years THINK of how great it WOULD be". Comparing Madden to a possible game 2k MIGHT have made is a very weak argument.

So I say good for Madden and EA. I look forward to reviving my league of 2k players with you this season. Just don't get a big head. You still have improvements to make in the future.

Did anybody today see T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Patrick Crayton complaining about their Madden ratings on ESPN's "First Take"? Watching these players take their rating so personal is lame. 2 grown men over 30 years old who put up sorry numbers complaining about their ratings on a video game. Then they had Ian and Moore defending why they lowered the ratings system and these two players still couldn't figure out why their ratings took a dive. T.J. Houshmandzadeh even said that his overrall rating was good but his skills aren't properly represented but when the EA team told him that his catching & route running were in the top 3 T.J. Houshmandzadeh said his speed was too low. Ian was pretty quiet and kind of looked agitated and nervous but the Moore kid stood up and explained in detail how they formulate the ratings system. I just thought that the NFL players looked lame and took the ratings a personal hit on their ability.

Houshmandzadeh : 92 catches 902 yards 4 TD's 9.8 YPC 95 91

Pasta.. Did you notice that some of the players are missing their blocks downfield..
There a few videos out showing them..I havd had a few games where a guy went back down to block someone instead of leading a block downfield in which I would have scored..Anybody notice this?

Well, there is more of a pash rush now, cause i played on 3 difficulties, and they got to the QB, but now every time i get to the QB, he seemes to always be able to throw a duck where nobody is and i cant ever get a sack… but there is pressure

Regarding when the refs confer to discuss whether a player crossed the goal line or not, as I tweeted to Ian, this needs to be tweaked. Either a simple option to turn it off, or to only show up when it is not obvious when the player crosses the goal line. I had two back to back TD's scored by the Steelers where Parker was clearly over the goal line and yet the refs still had to confer. Silly. Ian said, "Relax and enjoy the suspense." clearly missing the point. There ain't no suspense. The refs just appear really dumb or blind when the player is into the end zone a yard or more.

Yea that was entertaining. The madden designers did seem rather confused and lost like they ripped TJ on speed. What was up with that " Oh we got ur 40 time from our scouts?". I think they just give some players what they want or think and that happened to be the case with TJ.

Wow!!! This demo shows what I would expect from these two clubs. So far I am impressed, it looks great and feels more real than previous additions. Another bonus tidbit is that it REALLY seperates itself from NCAA 10, for all the football is football argument some people have, I love the presentation it feels more like watching it on TV. I agree with you Pasta about the running game, so far, I just hope they address it for the final print. Wearing a defense down is cool, but I do not want to have to be a pass to set up the run guy. They should account for running teams with good running backs and physical O-lineman.

why does the quarter just end? no between-quarter highlights NBA 2k9 style?? the presentation could still take a few more steps.

For those of you who like to run a QB sneak into the endzone look out, you DO NOT CONTROL THE QB ON THE GOAL LINE ON QB SNEAK. you do control him on a qb sneak on other parts of the field but at the goal line, uh uh. As soon as you hit the hike button the line charges forward and the QB does this gay little dive forward. if your line does not surge forward enough then you dont get in. Kinda cool and it takes the cheese out of the play. but i got stopped on 3and1 and 4and1 at the goal line. I thought the CPU messed up or something.

The new animations are amazing and I see huge hits. During the Wildcat formation i see the QB in the cut scene instead of the RB or whoever is lined up at QB.

BIG ISSUE. maybe i dont hit buttons as fast as others. but the fight for the fumble is friggin hard!

GAME IS AMAZING SO FAR! And ill repeat, the crowd is SPOT ON. I love it! and yes it should be neutral cause its the SB. NCAA 10 has the same problem with its bowl games.

IT ISNT THAT GREAT COMPARED TO LAST YEARS BUILD, HONESTLY! I have played it extensively there are some glaring problems with AI and physics. Check out youtube for some of the better breakdowns of these said flaws, also some of the changes are just pointless and the time could have better been spent on core gameplay elements. The cutscenes are great, but i wouldn't be as frusterated by them not being there as I am by broken physics and AI with the players especially when it comes to tackling and officiating.

i made a game steelers vs steelers and cardinals vs cardinals and it had steelers in one steelers in other and cardinals in one cardinals in other that was so so so awesome.

I have played both demos at least six times each. I love the demos so much I am not going to buy the game.

Patrick and TJ r overrated if Patrick didnt play in Dallas, his rating would take a bigger dive, and if TJ whoseyamama wasnt a big name he wouldnt be this good. I dont care if Palmer wasnt playing an elite player would still do great ala Randy Moss.

Played both demos fofr a total combined amount of 27 times I am practicing until I get this game early. I love how the scores come out realistic now instead of shootouts even though time is less but love the stats that result. I am playing ahead of all madden custom everything full since i found it easy to play all madden since i am used to the game. I love it and ready to be TOP 100 cus any of the Top 25 glitch

Can anybody tell me how FG kicking is on the 5 min demo? In the 1 min demo I can't even get a 35 yarder to the goal post at full power WITH the wind. That's insane. I know kicking is hard in the Snow. But it should be accuracy that's really difficult, not distance.

Rest of the game is amazing btw.

Looks pretty good, but in the video, why is Casey Hampton in the end zone after Fitzgerald catches the disputed TD?

Also, I didn't see any post-play replays. Were they turned off, or are we gonna have to live without them this year? Can't imagine playing a game without them.

If your Right Handed QB consistently looks like he is a Left Handed QB throwing passes throughout a game, a season or even an entire dynasty, then that can get pretty damn frustrating for even the casual gamer.

Let's hope this issue is NOT in the final build.

Other than that, the overall game speed and gameplay has dramatically improved in all aspects and EA is inching closer to taking Madden back to it's gameplay Glory Days of Madden '04 on the PS2 – now THAT was a near PERFECT Madden football game from a gameplay standpoint.

Can't wait for Aug. 14th!

I STILL noticed a HUGE glitch in this extended demo with the ball spin as it is being released by the QB's! The ball STILL spins in the opposite direction as opposed to spinning clockwise when a Right Handed QB is throwing a pass!

I went through an entire drive with the Cards and I replayed every single pass attempt by Warner to see if EA had fixed this terrible glitch from past versions and sure enough, it was STILL IN THE GAME!

I hope to GOD that EA has noticed this and has already fixed it in the final build or at least will take notice from others to provide a release day patch for it, because I may be a stickler for realism in a sim sports game, but I think that the proper ball spin on the football in a game of this caliber should NEVER, EVER be overlooked by the devs…

I am very impressed with the extended version of the demo. i have not been happy with madden on the next gen system at all. This year will have its issues im sure, but the inclusion of more presentation, slower gameplay and a little of the 2k5 feel make me very pumped for this title.

i thought the demo was good but its just a dumb idea to give us a demo with no audio or anything. I mean it is a prelude and I think the game will be great but the game could be way better in my opinion. Some of the players look like sim characters but it is a great game and the best out. one thing are to distinct things are the tackling and the player movement. the tackling engine is absolutely terrific but the player movement, i think could of progressed so much. also big ben looks like he has never went to a dentist and is foaming at the mouth. all in all the game will be great. May actually lose some buyers from the demo in my opinion. I have alot of friends that are ncaa guys and I have treid to convert them over but with the demo not showing us everything and leaving some key things out i feel they wont get the game.

i love the demo. i love that they brought back the squib kick. i agree that the crowd is always with the cards which is pretty dumb considering that its a sb game. but overall you feel the crowd is much more alive than in any other madden. can't wait for the actual game to come out!

I don't like the game speed. Presentation looks great. They better make some improvements on gameplay before the game launches. The game's not good enough with all the money, time and resources EA has to make Madden.

Overall the game looks good and the speed is a little slow but, I will reserve my judgement on that until the final release. Didn't know that you had to use the right thumb stick for defensive line moves that will change my experience the next time I play. The fight for the fumble…I've played the 5min demo three times and that has happen one or more times in each game (3x in one game) I think that will get old quick….lets wait and see.

What I have really liked is the way the cornerbacks/safeties go up and contest passes in the air instead of doing the generic swat ball thing.

For example, I threw it over the middle to my TE a little high and the MLB leaped and tried to swat the ball out of his hands from behind while dragging me back down to the ground.

how did you get to play the 1 min demo?

I played one game… and the speed def. takes some getting used to… but I think I rather that than the overemphasis on speed that NCAA has been (and Madden has been too). I like a lot of things about it, so… we'll see.

Well, on Custom Level with everything maxed out, the game is ridiculous. The passing (I was Arizona) is definitely different. I passed using the analog to aim, then without and was overthrowing the reciever by not just a little bit but alot. I know not too many people regularly play on Custom with the levels maxed out at their highest, but I do for the challenge of it, and its completely f'd up. I quit playing because drive after drive, game after game, it continued. I dunno what Warner's accuracy rating is but after playing on Custom, I realized it might be unplayable. Last year Custom with maxed out levels was really hard, but not unplayable. Haven't played on All-Madden or lower, I just don't do it vs the comp.

It's a sad state the we're in were we're comparing a 5 year old game on past gen to Madden 10. People forget that while 2k5 was a great game, so was Madden 06 on old gen. The old gen Madden's were very good games and most importantly, they got better year after year. That hasn't been the case with the Madden on current gen.

I'm an offline franchise player, and it's so frustrating not to be able to go past 3 or 4 years at most before it gets all screwy in any game. Hopefully, Madden 10 can deliver on a 10 year franchise of good AI and progression. I think the online franchise looks interesting and I might even dabble in that for the first time.

On the 1 minute demo in All Pro, if you got a holding penalty on the Extra Point… you're probably out of fg range. No Joke. My 37 yd attempt hit the goal line.

PLaying All-pro level with Steelers – so far computer gets two to three sacks a game. After five games, I have no sacks – not one. Doesn't seem to matter if you blitz or not. The one time I got to QB he miraculously threw it away as I was tackling him. One game I possessed the ball for 16 minutes and lost by 10 – they had 2 back to back fumble returns for TD plus kickoff return for TD. Turnovers are way out of whack – everytime they've fumbled so far, they get it back. One pick in five games for my defense – CPU defense averages about three picks per game so far. And yes, I know what I'm doing – maybe this game is just different and will take more adjustment.

Oh, with Pro-tak, I had five of my guys wrapped around Beanie Wells behind the line of scrimmage, but somehow he breaks loose and runs 68 yard for TD. Sorry, not going to happen in real life.

Doesn't seem to be much touch/speed control on QB throwing that I can tell, not as much as previous years.

Has anyone seen a defensive pass interference call? My receivers seem to get run into all the time down field and nothing is called – a few times the defense picked it off after pushing my guy off his route fifteen yards downfield.

Graphics looks great, but overall I am not that excited from what I see. I've played all-pro/all-madden my entire life and this just seems different. Not at all impressed. I hope the real game is a little better.

yea the first time i played the demo i whooped on the all madden level but then i tried on the customs all the way up and it was unbelievable. i would have all day to make a past and their was a slip in coverage with s holmes wide open and ben would throw it out of bounds. I guess its glitched wide open throws were going not even close and the computer running back would break countless tackles

does anyone know if their is a feature for qbs to actually throw over the lbs or cbs more of a lob pass not a bullet. that is one thing that i think needs fixed more than anything in the game. The idea of not being able to throw the ball over a linebacker is horrible. also if anyone wants in a online league let me know. i wana get alot. AIRTS24

i thought the demo was very good i was overally impressed with the gameplay. two thing that bothered me though was there was no player lock and on the playcalling screen threre was no screen to make your quik subs like put in RB#2 or your backup QB that has to be in the final build.

Played two more times this morning – all-pro – still haven't gotten a sack with the Steelers, even using the R3 for pass rush moves combined with all sorts of blitzes. They get at least two to three sacks a game. You have about two seconds to get rid of the ball or your dead. Turnovers are totally out of proportion – had one INT for my d in two games. Cardinals had another fumble recovery for TD and five picks. Jerhme Urban broke out of two tackles (including Polamalu) to run for a 68 yard TD. The newest complaint today is that Big Ben started overthrowing wide open receivers several times, which led to the picks. I am talking 10 yard overthrows, throwing out of bounds. I really hope the actual game is better than this – I will get too frustrated to play it. maybe some slider adjustments will help.

I agree. I played the public demo and seeing Brandon Jacobs break arm tackles, stumble and keep his balance only to get tripped up was beautiful. The animations, some subtle, make the game…

[...] pastapadre.com The other thing that really stuck out about this year’s version of Madden is its presentation. In previous years, the selection-screen in-between plays have been somewhat of a dull affair. Sure, it was functional – but it didn’t necessarily lend itself to thinking that you were watching an NFL broadcast. In Madden 10, you’ll see coaches both scald and high-five players, quarterbacks talking to their offensive coordinators on the phone, and more. You’ll also have wide receivers, quarterbacks, and running backs walking into position, rather than already being set up, as in previous years. The different perspectives they give you prior to the snap also help with the feeling that you’re watching an NFL broadcast, rather than playing a football video game. [...]

I have a few comments on Madden10….the good..pass rushing was greatly improved with the addition of the right stick. Now I can move where I want and get 2 the ball carrier. They also changed the color of the ball locater in the passing game…easier to find the ball…the bad…why are the defenders still so hard 2 tackle but when you run the ball you barely get 2 yards? I know that offensive players tackle rating aint that high but neither are the defenders break tackle..just tired of seeing a CB break 3 tackles for a TD and W. Parker gettin hit for a loss…I also didn't think the demo presentation of the game was anything special. Its the SUPER BOWL!! Can we get player intros, like when the star QB intros the offensive or the commentator who gives us a player to watch. You have ESPN…use them!!

You do know you can increase the speed if you're an 09 homer, right? You're just not going to get the majority to agree with you that slowing down the game was not better. It was easily the best decision EA made towards improving this game.

My guess is your not setup when you throw. You can't rollout and expect to be accurate any longer, which is a good thing.

The five picks is on you bud.

"This ends up pushing towards the feeling that a passing-oriented offense is the way to go."………Pasta, wasn't that the same with 09 and the previous "next-gen" madden games? I thought they said running would be fixed……now, I'm certain that I might be fooled again by EA sports.

Same Piece of crap game. Its a little better, but i got bored of it fast. It just doesnt suck you in for some reason. Well, it didnt me. They need to make the oline less retarded. I love the game speed though. Thy slowed it down to 2K's pace which imo, is a great thing. Once they redo momentum and physics, the game will be worth 60 bucks, as of right now? PASSSSSS.

haha you can still rocket catch n jet pack but its really hard to do so n who ever said that there is a lack of pass rush must not know how to rush the pass. its fairly easy to get a sack if u user a linemen or linebacker

WTF? Larry Fitz and Boldin drop everything! This reminds me of 09 where Fitz would drop way too many balls and was not nearly as dominant as he should be. I mean in the demo Ike
Taylor jams him for like the first 10 yards. Are you kidding me? Ike Taylor? Then when I get Fitz open Polamalu makes some physically impossible hit on his legs to make him flip and he drops the ball. I'm impressed with the presentation but thats about it. Im not even sure if I like this more then 09. This game needs some work.

I personally love the demo thus far. I have read all of these post and so far about 80% of them are positive. Some of the complaints that I have heard are not that major to ne.
1. No pass rush- I for one have had plenty of success sacking the QB. Play with your D-Lineman or LB and use the right thumb stick.
2. Game Speed- it’s better for running the ball. However to my knowledge you can change it on the real version.
3. The WR catch the ball in good situations. They drop it when covered. THAT’s Fine People!!!
4. The cut schemes are ok. They could be better. However, be glad we have them at all.

Overall the game is great. I’m so excited about the full version. This game had come so far in one year and I think we should all keep that in mind. Be happy!!

1. No pass rush- I for one have had plenty of success sacking the QB. Play with your D-Lineman or LB and use the right thumb stick.
2. Game Speed- it’s better for running the ball. However to my knowledge you can change it on the real version.
3. The WR catch the ball in good situations. They drop it when covered. THAT’s Fine People!!!
4. The cut schemes are ok. They could be better. However, be glad we have them at all.

After a full weekend with the M10 demo, M9 is history! Just 4 fun, I went back online w/M09 and my opponent quit after 2quarters. I was seeing things I never saw b4, So while Gamestop is offering, I think, 10% more on trade ins towards the purchase of M10, goota say goodbye to 09!

So EA screws us again by not putting out a normal demo like NCAAF 10 has. I wanted to play this demo and see if they actually fixed the game. Obviously the pass defense has become worse than previous years yet again. It looks a lot lk NCAA pass defense, which is just horrible. EA can you actually fix the game by going back to the old gameplay like in 07 and 08, but fix all the cheese and glitches that were allowed.

Hey pasta. I watched your video. Are you worried that Larry Fitz could become like Randy Moss in Madden 08 (a.k.a unstoppable)? Given of course that Fitz doesn’t have Tom Brady throwing to him, But this could still cause a severe inbalance online. Thoughts?

I don't care how many freebies EA invites you to.

The speed of the game sucks. It's not something I want to get used to.

Parker is stuck in mud. He has no speed in this game. Do you know speed has a lot to do with Football.

Well we can thank EA for removing it.

Does everyone else find the "black screen" between cut scenes annoying?! Is this just due to this being a demo?
