EA Sports has posted up a screenshot comparison with side-by-side images from Madden 10 vs Madden 09. Not only are the shots taken from gameplay but also aspects such as the menus and play call screen. It is easy to overlook what a drastic upgrade the game has received graphically, but seeing similar shots from 09 really makes the improvements obvious. The lighting, depth of field, player models, and cleaner on-field display really stand out.

Check out all the screens here and leave your thoughts in the comments!

    what do you think is better madden 10 or madden 09
  • peter
    i just dont feel like there is enough diferance for me to buy 10
  • Wes
    Looks much better graphically. The differences I don't like are more in the game play. I don't like the 3 choices of plays rather than 4 and I don't like the audible selections aren't readily up on the screen like in '09. If I hadn't played '09 I wouldn't know how to audible. It's not like anybody reads the instruction manual

    so when they told us LAST YEAR, we are were we wanna be, and "THIS IS WHAT THE FANS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR" they meant, "NEXT YEAR" GADGET, NEXT YEAR. when is a damn sports game gonna look good like killzone 2 or Gears of War, EA is sitting on its high horse making incremental improvements year after year after year after year after year, I liked madden bak on the regular xbox, i'm not madden fan 2 begin with, but i'm a realist 2k can't make pro football so i play ea's maddy, it still ain't better, you can't even play co-op online vs somebody else, i kno EVERYBODY doesn't want it, but ima buy madden till 2k can make football again so EA, pull up ur panties and quit making gimmicks, where r weapons, tutorial, that retarded missle sound when u catch a deep ball, GONE, cuz they were a gimmick, quit whining that oh ur being picky, hell yeah, its sixty damn bux fools, and it sux, i'll play it but i'ma save every play that shows ur game is lacking and then prove me wrong, i gotta hard drive full of plays from '09 jus waitn to expose ya on the net, balls going throuh hands n bodies, lol

    Okay, 09 was shit, what is EA's point?
  • David Harmon
    wow this game looks fucking sick haha august 14 cant come soon enough cant wait haha
  • Seems like there is a bit more detail on the 10, and the shots are crisper.
  • Adam
    I meant SHARPER
  • Adam
    Maybe its just me but I think madden 09 had a little shaper graphics.
  • I love the new Madden look and screens. The one thing that bothers me is this:

    1. Does anybody else have a problem seeing the timeouts on the screen? Its like 3 tiny black specs!!!

    Everything else is great
  • turf12
    yeah, i know what you mean. it was especially difficult to see how many timeout baltimore has because the dark purple blends in with the black background.
  • slow eric
    yawn....that doesn't entice me enough to spend 60 dollars on a game similar if not worst in some areas than last year. online franchise is the only reason to buy it, but i can just play online dynasty on NCAA.
  • Glad to see they got rid of the haze....The fields look super....
  • Fave Lutley
    Everything is thsuper in Skihawks world.
  • fas carl
    Now they need to be consistent with the game like how mlb the show does ..keep the core together don't strip feature out..and just add to what they have now..cause madden 10 is looking pretty solid
  • fas carl
    This shit is sick..now they need to bring back the radio guy for commentary (cause aleast the guy had excitement in his voice) made you feel like you were doing something ..

    Fas carl the truth
  • are they gonna have the QB vision then? for better QB passing? and i just dont like the fact that they take out the weapon icon for madden 10.. but oh well.. i still play madden 10.. LOL
  • fans still look like shit but what else is new haha but in all seriousness madden 10 is gonna fucking rock its gonna be up there with nhl 10 im guessing for game of the year
  • Fave Lutley
    Is that right?
  • turf12
    i noticed that this year chris johnson looks more like chris johnson instead of just some generic black guy with dreads.
  • Eric Melo
    The Graphics are denfinatly a lot better. Look at Heinz field. In 09 it looks way too dark. in Madden 10 it looks more realistic!
  • Madden History
    2008-2009- David Ortiz gets the shaft, and it is announced that Madden 10 will be headed by Ian Cummings, Ian and Co. proclaim a much needed new direction for Madden, despite the “EA Marketing team” directly on the other coin praising the successes of Madden 09 financially and gameplay wise in order to market Madden 10. Despite this back to basics profession, the producers decide to stick with the original heavily criticized engine to make their improvements on top of. Early impressions of the demo showed the same problems that plauged Madden 09, not suprisingly.

    Some say 2k football would never outsell Madden, but that was 5 years ago. Consider if the great 2k Football games were available each year after year, for the past 5 awful years of Madden. Consider if consumers had a choice. It is my belief that the exact same thing that happened with 2K basketball slowly taking over the market from EA Sports NBA Live in those same 5 years, would have happened with football. Maybe someone at EA recognized this, and pushed for the exclusive license.

    actually madden 09 was the first madden that was without oritz..he was gone after 08
  • Madden History
    2007 - NFL becomes more hands on and touchy with overseeing aspects of game - No tattoos, less violent hits, less fun celebrations, other uniform related issues

    2007-2008- Two of the worst editions in the series history receive top reviews and awards from various gaming publications, no doubt creating a sense of complacency within EA Sports. These near perfect ratings also may have caused an incentive for the NFL to renew the exclusivity license even further, which they did until 2012.

    2008-2009 - After nearly 5 years of Madden only football gaming, the bar becomes greatly lowered, and an enormously flawed Madden 09 gets a positive reception. 9’s and 10’s mysteriously fly around for a game that has little to no concept of weight detection, broken sliders, noticeable player abilities or tendencies, and freezing bugs, among other issues. Where we see the birth of the terms “Robo QB”, “Suction Blocking” and Phonebooth Tackling” to describe soley Next Gen Madden’s issues.
  • Madden History
    2006 - Much hoopla gets made about EA Sports acquiring the ESPN license, which they then end up doing absolutely nothing of note with to enhance the gaming experience.

    2006- David Ortiz takes charge of Madden franchise for two disastrous years that this gen Madden may never recover from due to EA’s refusal to change engine

    2006 - John Madden, original creator and namesake of Madden, is pushed out/steps down as a creative force behind Madden games.

    2006 - Popularity of online play causes EA to tweak game in accordance to its online community cheesers rather then real NFL football as had previously been the case for a decade. Despite publicly deriding and criticizing cheap online play, EA goes on to market toward these same players, even producing a TV series around them called “Madden Nation”.

    Brief Timeline decline of Madden football

    2005 - Madden releases one of its most well received games in history, Madden 2005. It is regarded as the peak of Madden’s life on the Ps2 and XBOX. 2K Sports counters with the release of what will go on to be the most critically acclaimed football game of all time, NFL 2k5, which coincidentally would be 2K’s last NFL game. Times are good.

    Late 2005 - EA Sports sign an exclusive licensing deal through 2009 with the NFL and the NFLPA to give them the exclusive rights to use the NFL's teams, stadiums and players in a video game.

    2006 - EA misleads the public with a over dramatized movie trailer which was portrayed as being what Madden on the Next Gen gameplay would be like. This would turn out to be be 100% false.
  • Waltman
    I bet EA Sports would find it alot harder to be compared to another actual competing football game like 2K then having Madden 10 compared to their own shit game from last year. Just another reason they monopolized the market like they did, if not you'd be comparing Madden 10 screenshots with NFL 2k10 right now
  • nice post

    the only thing i noticed on the screenshots was the lighting, the lighting in madden 10 is so much better

    Stewart B. was a big loss :( , first dawkins and now him, hopefully someone steps up
  • theyve stated that they went through and made all the players look authentic with their gear that they wear, but from the Seahawks videos that ive seen i picked out a number of players who still had the wrong equipment, hopefully its adressed wen it comes out, coz thats one of the little things that wen done right makes the game look better
  • Vizen
    I still like 09's playcalling screen better...
  • JudgeBrown

  • C'mon man we all know Mo isn't the most intelligent person on here but you don't need to be using his name and sayin that shit on every thread. Get an account and say make a legit comment if you got something to say.
