    so people cant audible from wildcat into singleback and have their Rb under center. god forbid they make the qb resume his role under center when u audible. pure laziness.

    True...

    Although there is a loophole to audible the WC and I can do it. I'll tell you over XBL.

    The gameplay is 100% better than last year. I can't understand the *****ing going on. Last year I understand, but not this year. Very solid looking game.

    Are you talking about the hurry up audible? I guess that works but it'd be better if you could do a normal audible out of the WC.

    physics is completely ignored. its different, but not solid. the graphics are amazing, but pretty looking poop is still poop. Pro-tak was a complete waste of time. It cosmetically enhances the appearance of the tackling, but it doesnt look or feel realistic. The underlying problems have been ignored once again. The guys on the field might proportionally look like the real deal, but they dont play like it. Interior linemen still do suction blocking. Defensive backs can still switch from a swat to a hard hit in mid air. Players can morph through other players. The main problem is that the ratings dictate the outcome of collisions. When instead the ratings should dictate whether or not a player will be in a position to make the play. Then once a collision happens, the outcome should be decided by physics, not by ratings. Example: RB spins into a huge defensive lineman, and then shrugs him like its nothing and takes it to the house. That is impossible in real life unless the DL slips or does something very stupid. Coming out of a spin move you are extremely vulnerable and will not be able to instantly redirect a force large enogh to knock over someone like Casey Hampton. But it still happens in the game, and thats just the tip of the iceburg of the many BS things that happen that are physically impossible. Oh, and the players still steer more like cars than humans. Overall, I'm just tired of the games lack of progress towards a true simulation. Exclusive rights have doomed the consumer. The only way to change it is to stop buying the game. So I'll just buy it used to keep EA from getting an extra $60. It's not about the $, its the principle. EA has a monopoly and there's nothing we can do except stop buying it.

    Another thing that really pisses me off about Madden 10. Do some heavy blitzing, and a lot of it. Then go back and watch your defenders as they blitz. I've seen countless times where i get a hat on a hat, and then the free man turns and runs in a loop to give the QB time to throw. He purposely doesnt go for the sack. If you look for it, I'm sure you'll see it. It happened to me many times.

    It's still like that. When the player comes in motion you can hold X, on the ps3, and hand the ball off to the guy in motion, or you can keep it in the hands of the player who is in the QB position, and run or pass with that player. The play is not predetermined.

    EA Store gave me 25% off my total order so I pre-ordered it as well. First time I've bought Madden since 04.

    I'm going to wait and see. It sounds good but if I can't play the WC right I might just rent it.

    Well the first review of the year (I have seen) is in and it's good for the Madden haters as Gamespot scores it a 7.5 whereas Madden 09 got a 8.0. Take that review for all its worth since its really an average of all reviewers that I really go by and most reviewers are giving it really high scores with an average of 8.7. So I will give the Gamespot review link (the front page of Gamespot with the review had Penny as the cover man so that was cool) and also a link of all the other scores that you can check out.

    if you hold x(or whatever the button is on the 360) you can hand the ball off to the player who comes across the field one some of the plays.

    Hope everyone is prepared to face the Eagles. Their speed on offense just went from ridiculous to holy effing ****!!! Vick, Jackson, Maclin, Westbrook, McCoy. Game over.

    Hold A on the 360 to give it to the guy in motion. I hate that I can't hot route a WR in the WC.

    I watched two guys playing the PS3 version as i waited for them to sell the game. It was Colts vs. Chargers in Indianapolis, they were tied going into 2 minutes in the 4th quater, the neat thing i noticed is that the fans in the stands where jumping up and down and cheering quite loudly making it seem they were into the game.....I though it was a nice touch.

    i got the ps3 version last night at wally world at 12 o clock. i played one game vs. a friend on all-madden. and it was VERY offensive, specially in the passing game. but we also had like 10 turnovers together, which is ridiculous. his OLB picked me off 3 times, twice being my fault, the other being a ridiculous one handed jumped INT.(thought they were suppose to fix that issue?!?!?) Devin Hester is hard to stop on KRs...wild cat worked well for me

    overall it was fun. it will be much better once i get used to the feel. its definitely different then years past.

    When you play on All Madden, most interceptions seem to be user error... Most casual Madden gamers couldn't read a coverage to save their lives...

    im not exactly a 'casual gamer' as far as madden. i only play on all-madden when playing people, and have for years. i can read coverages fine, i just need to get used to the game play speed.

    ok time for my take.....i have only played one game.....dolphins vs raiders....

    aside from it being a little stiff, and sparano looking like someone with down syndrom....i loved it.

    now....keep in mind i have had ps2....and this is my first next gen madden i have owned.....i found it very fun. and very realistic. it was harder to pass/run.....but if i called the right plays.....run, run, run, play action.....the PA worked like it should....as did counter plays etc etc.

    ronnie had a decent 18 carries for 78 yards....ricky had 3 carries for 18 yards.....pennington had a very penny game.....22 completions 240 yards....2 touchdowns.....0 turnovers

    camarillo (as my 3rd wr) had 7 catches for 94 yards......ginn had a few nice catches as well (loved using ginn in a outside comeback route)

    it wasnt my normal ps2 madden....where i had a very unrealistic 12 sacks, 8 td passes, 3 rushing tds, 200 yards recieving with 2 players.....

    it was real. imo atleast. well worth the money spent....i love it. very much.

    sean smith had a fumble return for a td on kickoff!!!! it was awesome....now iam getting off....time to start my franchiseeeeee woot!

    Is it just me, or can you not sprint with the QB when you're in a Wildcat passing play? I tried to run the ball to the side, a couple times, with White, to get the defense to come up to play the run, so that I could try and flip it to Ginn downfield, but, even holding the Sprint button, I couldn't get White to sprint. He wouldn't tuck the ball and run. I can sprint with White out of normal formations with him as QB...

    yep. its kind of stupid that EA bothered to put the wildcat in the game, cause they must have been so worried about it being overpowered that they did a bunch of stupid stuff to make up for it. QB cant run, cant audible out of it, and they dont actually let you choose which option to go with.

    If you hold "A" when Ricky is coming in motion you can hand it off to him and if not you keep it with Ronnie. Works great when the D overloads one side.

    And you have to go to "play a match online," though you can back out after the roster update happens.

    Playing my 1st game of Madden right now, and it's pretty freaking fun. I'm too good to have started on "my skill" though lol. It's 38-3, and not quite even half-time yet. Though I do have it on 15 min with acc clock.

    Running just seems easy with such a good back. :lol:

    i cant believe you cant sprint when running a pass play out of the wildcat. weak.

    and the slip screen works a little too well. im good for a 60-80 yd td a game when playing on all-pro.

    Ok, how the **** do I adjust pass block/pass rush sliders? I can't ****ing get any pressure no matter how many people I send. But when the CPU brings anyone beyond the normal 4, they come in untouched. It's ****ing ridiculous.
