Overall a pretty fair review, despite being a demo to me this says a lot! The game looks great and feels more real than any other Football sim for next gen to date. I still take up issue with the EA running game for blocking and physics issues not to mention just plain being realistic. Still so far it does look great, which makes me wonder just how starved we are for good, fun and realistic Pro football for next gen. I really wish EA could find something that is good, not average, overall and just build on it. Maybe Madden 10 is the answer to this as the blueprint to pigskin greatness!!!!! Let's hope so...
I have been wondering that myself. You would think it was QB's...
Wow that was insightful....
Far be it for me to tell a man in an industry that is all about self promotion that he needs to grow up, but on the flip side this is a prideful type thing anyway. If you beat your boy on Madden and tell everyone he is garbage at the game, won't he try to prove you wrong? Why should this be any different? Throw in the fact these guys make lots of money to fuel their egos and are on TV doing something many Madden armchair QB's would kill to do if they had talent or had not missed an oppurtunity. All in all they should shut up and enjoy their lives of privelege, lead by example and make them have REASON to change the ratings.
If art is the imitation of life then Madden is truly art, not everyone appreciates it all the time but it's always worth talking about.
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.
Pasta you and your crew are great, I have been following since high school. Info like this you cannot get without the horrible corporate spin on things. Thank you for helping out and being a real helpful group of gamers with honesty, and reporting on what we really want to know.
