Continuing with the series of HD quality videos from Madden 10 this set focuses on franchise mode, in particular the halftime and Extra Point franchise shows. I’ve really enjoyed these even though they are somewhat lacking. There certainly is the base for something special here. I’ve found that I sit through all the highlights which is something I’ve never done before. I’ll talk more about them in detail in my full impressions.

I’ve decided to hold the online play videos until I put up my online impressions later this week. Full impressions of the game will come Monday afternoon. Continue on to check out a few of the franchise videos and leave your thoughts in the comments!

    Where is Kellen Davis (TE) for the bears? Played in every game last year. Still on the team!

    I just realized... Miami should have a baseball diamond on the field early in the season, they used to do that in franchise mode on the earlier maddens on ps2 and xbox, but havent done it next gen, thats a small detail they overlooked, not a big deal, but they focused on small details this year and missed that, maybe next year
  • Man, I'm watching the extra point, and I can understand how the fragments couldn't been smoother when they are talking. The... Miami Dolphins faced... the Oakland Raiders... Why don't they just read all the team combinations together and call that up... There has to be some way to make that sound better. Like the idea, but I might have to mute them....

  • bOOm
    the variation is astounding!
  • in that first video, how can that game have gone to overtime? it wasnt tied at the end of regulation...
  • Spot on DrLogic, I was writing about it when I saw your message...
    Well, too bad it took EA five years to come up with it. In retrospect, what is even more incredible, is that 2k5 was already doing it on previous gen consoles.
  • TreyIM2
    I think for all that Ian and co tried to touch on in less than a year, this game is quite impressive, as a whole. Yes, there are still things that need to be fixed (I've played the retail version for the PS3, several times over)but only unappreciative, brat minded people will steadily harp on it and/or bring up 2K5 OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND...That's real childish and plain stupid.
    As for the halftime deal, it's just a foundation. ANYONE with foresight and vision can see that. Next year, I can see this being really fleshed out, along with improvement on Pro-Tak and fixes and such.

    Many of you really need to understand that you're coming off like little bitches with all the hate, whining and ridiculous complaining. Madden 10 is great stuff not to mention it is A VIDEO GAME. Get over yourselves.
  • If people keep on bringing over and over Nfl 2k5, it's simply because it was a great game.
    I'm not pro EA or pro 2k. I couldn't care less. All I want is a great videogaming experience and Nfl 2k5 was all I could ask for from a videogame.
    I know that this halftime segment is a "foundation", but you gotta admit that it took EA 5 freaking years to come up with a feature, that was almost flawless on a $20-game on previous gen consoles.
    That said, I'm not bitter. I'll buy Madden once again, it looks great... I mean I always buy Madden on even years, that's when they release their best games.

  • Im soooo happy to see a halftime show...will it be perfect? NO..will I complain about the game this year..NO. Im very happy with what I am seeing!
  • broncosfan27
    Hey Pasta, just curious about if you can trade for punters and kickers in madden 10. I know previous years you couldn't.
  • The only two things I don't like about the game so far are the FG's (I knew they were the same tho) and the fact that EA didn't put all of the AFL throwbacks in there! FG's on the analog stick need to go (i.e. vision cones, Tiger Woods, 2K baseball...analog is too gimmicky). I wanted to use the Bills white throwbacks and they aren't in there!!! Game rocks though. Already faced someone who was 22-0 online and chose to get my ass kicked...
  • GoEagles!
    Anybody notice on first video where dolphins won 31-27 she said they won by 3? That cracked me up.
  • Dolfan 70
    GO Phins! hey Pasta, you mind goin with the white jersey/ Green pants combo one game, I really wanna see how it looks
  • tjs1205
    its "fran" charles btw...and even though the voice over is kinda bad, i still find myself watching the extra point after each game just to see the stats from other games...it seems that a QB always gets offensive player of the week and they have outstanding numbers...like pennington 21-34, 356 yds, 5 tds....tom brady even broke the record in week 1 with 7 tds....im playing with the cowboys and romo is leading the league in int's...smh...
  • iplaytoomuch
    BTW, that 60 yard touchdown by Thomas Jones in the final video was just sick!
  • dolphins
    YA BUT THE DOLPHINS WOULD NEVER LET THAT OLD MAN GO THAT FAR
  • tiger
    ENOUGH!!!!!!!! I CAN'T FREAKING TAKE ANYMORE OF YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENTS!!! JESUS H!! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BUY THE GAME, PLAY 2K5 THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!! IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE HALFTIME SHOW ...DON'T WATCH IT!! YOU SOUND LIKE A BUNCH OF NAGGING BEOCHES!! WAAH WAAH WAAH. ARE YOU MEN OR A BUNCH OF PANTYWAIST GIRLS!!! SHUT UP!! THE GAME HAS BEEN RADICALLY CHANGED IN ONE YEAR!! I HATE MADDEN 2009...BUT I'LL WAIT UNTIL I PLAY THIS AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE I DRAW A LONG TERM CONCLUSION!! PLEASE STOP RAGGIN THE SAME POINTS GIRLS!!
  • Mr. Professional
    Most of us aren't saying the entire game sucks or that we are not going to get it. We just think the commentary isn't as far ahead as it should be at this point. The evidence we have to back up that opinion just happens to be 2k5. Are you saying that as men (coming from you, someone who sounds like he hasn't made it through middle school yet) we should have to either love the game or not buy it? Can't we enjoy it, while offering critique? "IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BUY THE GAME, PLAY 2K5 THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!" If you don't want to read our opinions, don't go to this forum for the rest of your life. :D
  • thatguy
    yeah, put that in your pipe and smoke it, TIGGER!! TELL POOH WHATS UP.
  • tiger
    Ok....that was really ,really bad thatgay. Not only was your comment stupid, but at least Mrs. Professional was trying to make a valid response, albiet a weak one at that. I don't give a rats ASS! I'm tired of you geeks complaining about it all the time like it will ruin the core the universe if Madden doesn't have a great half-time show. There is critiqueing and there is endless drivel about NFL 2gay5, which was not perfect by any means. Oh by the way Pooh says go f#$k yourself.....:)
  • Mr. Professional
    I think I overestimated you when I said you were in middle school. If you actually read what I said, I never said 2K5 was perfect (I don't own it retard) and I didn't say Madden 10 looks bad. I know getting fired from your janitor position at McDonald's is disheartening, but if you're that angry at the world, see a therapist instead of using "gay" jokes (you clever guy, you) and "defending" a public forum from us "nazis." :D
  • Tiger
    With all due respect ma'am, I did read your post. My post was not directed at you, if you understand the structure of argument, case-evidence-rebuttal etc, then you should realize I admittedly lashed out at all the whiners. I went off a bit, but that's why there is a forum. If guys can bitch and moan and cry about a game that has been radically redesigned, they need to know that other people get tired of negativity. If you took exception to it, then mayhap s I confused you for..I dunno, king leader of the bitchy whiners or something. I will say this. Technically, in writing, creative, journalistic or otherwise, using "quotes" only truly works if you are actually quoting someone. I never used the term " Nazi" ( see how I'm quoting you?) in any of this discussion. I leave that up to Rush Limbaugh to describe Nancy Pelosi. If you are such an expert at psychological analysis through someone's writing, perhaps you should fill out an application at the FBI and make better use of your time. This is a game forum, unless you actually believe my name is Tiger and you are anything remotely considered " professional" (I quoted again!!). My main points were:

    Wait until you actually own and play the game before crying.

    Let 2k5 go......I owned it...it was great...but let's move on.
  • iplaytoomuch
    That commentary was absolutely awful!

    How come EA can't just let it flow a little bit better?

    In ESPN 2K5, Chris Berman made it sound natural.

    This is nothing against Alex Flanigan, but she sounded crappy because it sounded like every word was the beginning of a new sentence, that is just EA though.
  • Tyler (CC)
    How do people get their Madden copies so early?
  • go to a mom & pop store
  • Mike
    The half time show and the extra point are great installments. Next year just add more voice overs so they don't sounds choppy. I agree that the commentators suck. Collinsworth isn't bad, it's the play-by-play man who sounds like a robot. Just tweak some of that and next year will be great.
  • Kris
    Got my copy of madden just today.. must say i love this game much much better big improvments. nice game speed and wow cpu accualli pretty good .. kickin my ass on all madden
  • dolphins
    ty pasta for all the dolphins videos in the nfl network and a sportscatsres give no love to the dolphins they were all but forgot except that fatefull day aganst the pats where the wildcat was unvlled
  • Tyler (CC)
    Hey, next time can you post some examples of progression and a couple of potentials that players have.
  • videos look good but there is a ton of room for improvement. i would say in about 2 years from now this might be one the of the greatest features in madden ever. Things they could do is getting highlights from other games, towards the end of the season had like an xtra point show playoff race special. have like an offseason one dedicated to the draft and free agency. theres ton of things they could do and i could go on for hours but the groundwork is definatly here for something special.
  • Game Presentation
    I'll be skipping all the game presentation stuff. It's just as good as having the marching bands in ncaa. the halftime show and extra point show are a waste of time.
  • jusmegamer
    Not impressed. Presentation still cant touch 2K5 which was made in 04, but I will purchase and enjoy it for what it is.
