Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

[j2k9]

If I had to pick one thing I didn't like about the vid it would be that the gameplay looked a little sketchy. I seriously hope the framerate doesn't get sacrificed by all these great additions. Hopefully they will iron out the kinks but otherwise great job EA! I haven't been this excited about Madden in years!

That's not 'in the game'. I still haven't bought a snickers bar going on 2 years later due the snickers advertising in Madden '08 on the PSP. Don't have time to dissect the game play tonight, the presentation looks better, but the announcers seem the same as last year. One big disappointment for me after seeing more game play is that it doesn't look like Route Based passing is in the game. That feature alone (from APF2K8) has ruined other football games for me. Without it, I don't think I will be able to enjoy the game. Passing is half the game, and I won't be able to enjoy the passing game without it. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...+based+passing

The Snickers advertisements have to be shown because EA Sports have a contract with them.

Great way to put it. Bumper cars.

And yes, the animations of the players are horrible. Not even close to the real thing. This is bizarre to me. After all these years EA still can't have their football game moving more realistically.

Do you think every year the fine folks at EA flip a coin to decide whether or not to make the animations look real and we, the gamers, have had bad luck because the coin always comes up "NO!"??

JerseySuave4 - Actually, I'm not big on online gaming myself. I just thought I'd post that since I waited for that big announcement and thought some would really enjoy hearing that. They also had more game footage, too. I'm going through my DVR recording now...wait, it's after 12. I'll just get it off GT, instead, since my Spike TV is NOT in effin' HD. Damn Fios..

well when Snickers comes to them and says we wanna give you x amount of dollars to get our product advertised in the game, you think they're going to say no? Video games have become a great way for companies to advertise their products because of the popularity, dont let it bother you, its not that big of a deal.

yea i wasnt complaining just stating my 2 cents. Anyone know how long into the spike show Madden was mentioned? I missed it and plan on watching at 2am while im in bed watching tv before i pass out so i wanted to know around how long in i should expect Madden so i dont miss it while watching King of the Hill or something.

Then you add it in a way that's part of the game. As a banner, or as a 'sponsored by' commentary during the half time or replay show. You don't just put blatant ads in your game. That's ad ware, not a video game.

I thought Ian and the devs knew and understood this problem thats been a problem for a while. Kane has even mentioned it.

Ian has replied to me personally on it.

Can this be corrected?
