Madden 10 Team and Player Ratings
While at E3 I was able to grab the team overall ratings for Madden 10. I also have access to the player ratings. These may not necessarily be final however they will provide at the very least a good idea of what to expect. A while back Donny Moore stated that the Pats, Steelers, and Eagles were the top three teams however in this build the Giants have overtaken the Eagles. Continue on to check out the team ratings. Leave any requests for specific player ratings in the comments and I'll re...

E3: Madden NFL 10 Impressions
The improvements to Madden 10 were quickly evident at E3. Many of them are visual which means you're immediately exposed to them and they are impossible to miss. Others such as the game speed are readily apparent as well. That suited it well to the environment that E3 offers where time with the game can be limited and the crowds can affect the experience. Reaction to Madden has been overwhelmingly positive for the most part and it received multiple "Game of E3" nominations while there. Conti...

E3 2009 Day Two Videos
Once I got back from E3 it became much easier to upload and process the videos. So here are all the rest of the vids I took while out there for Madden 10 and NCAA Football 10. For Madden this includes an extended recording of Redskins @ Seahawks, a couple intros and half time highlights. These are all on All-Pro difficulty. For NCAA there are a few showing gameplay on All-American (be warned I was trying to play and record at the same time) and also two replays of "setup" plays where you...

E3: NCAA Football 10 Impressions
During the first day of E3 I played NCAA Football 10 on the default Varsity difficulty. I made the statement in my brief recap that the game had a very similar feel to 09 and it seems people ran with that as though it meant it wasn't changed or improved which is not the case. The differences are just not as obvious as the ones Madden received. After bumping it up to All-American the improvements made to the game became more evident. The adaptive AI has a strong presence and I'll describe ...

This will just be a short recap of the first day's events. More detailed write-ups on each game will follow within the next couple days. Got a lot of videos to post up but given the slow internet connection it may not be feasible to do until Thursday morning. Feel free to drop any questions in the comments and if I know the answer I'll reply or mention them in the upcoming articles. First short Madden 10 video (Broncos vs Jaguars) Madden 10 Immediately noticeable is the upgrade in p...

Madden 10 Brings Online Franchise
As hoped for the big online announcement for Madden 10 was the inclusion of Online Franchise mode. Rather than if Peter Moore would be revealing Online Franchise the main question going in centered around whether it would be as fully featured as consumers would associate with a mode by such a name. Based on the trailer shown at the EA press conference and the audience reaction it appears this will not be a let down. Announced on stage at the EA E3 2009 press conference, Madden NFL 10 Onli...
