    Why should a passing accuracy slider set at 0 mean an inaccurate pass on every play? We want a sim game don't we? Why the heck do we want Tom Brady throwing inaccurate passes on every single attempt?

      I prefer dynasty mode over franchise mode because recruiting is a blast.

      But Madden 10 looks like it had 100 employees with lots of $ working on it.

      NCAA 10 feels like it was created by 4 broke guys in their mom's basement.

          I feel like I read the same things about NCAA which I refuse to play anymore other than simulating a season to export the draft classes. It's my firm belief that Madden will be as good as everyone wants/pretends it is 2012, and I really really hope I'm wrong about that.

            I am excited about each team playing differently. That will add tons of replay value. Plus, in franchise mode, teams will evolve over time. That will truly make the game dynamic and a blast to play. This year, I will truly delve into franchise mode like never before.

            I also think this will be one of the best video games made. Not perfect; but one of the best.
            When the game is on the line, winners want the ball.

              Nice write up.

              I'm just praying that there are no franchise killing bugs. If there isn't I can see myself going deep into franchise.

                  I'm waiting to hear about the Offline Franchise Mode. That's the "deal-breaker" for me. I don't really care about Online Franchise. I plan on buying this game used anyway.
                  Whatever you do, don't give constructive criticism or say anything negative about Madden video games! It seems to be the equivalent of a felony...

                    First of all, not every gamer wants "SIM".

                    If a 0 on the slider means 0 complete passes and a 100 on the slider scale means 100% complete passes than it becomes very easy to edit the slider to however you want it, and you can have a bigger range of completion percentages depending on how you want to play the game.

                    On the other hand, if 0 on the accuracy slider computes to roughly 50% (+/-) completion and 100 on the slider equals 60% completions, it's not only difficult to get the slider where you want it, it seriously cuts down on the possible range you can have.

                    The bigger range in the sliders, the better IMO and to reiterate, everyone plays the game differently and not everyone wants to play a SIM game.

                    Anyway, good write up - looking forward to hearing more about the offline franchise though.

                      Hammond just sounds so unimpressed that it makes me feel bad. What more do you want Hammond! What more do you want?!

                        A fair preview, Steve, thank you. You hit positives and negatives, covered a lot of stuff, and managed to sound optimistic without the ZOMG! factor (just for you Chase).

                                yep


                                I have been burned year after year this gen, selling the game after a week or two because it felt like Coleco-vision football... 110MPH speed and body slams and ridiculous reactions.

                                Is it perfect? no but the Pro-Tak and the new animation and game speed and cut scenes make me feel like it's an NFL game like no game before it. Now with Steve pointing out the feel of different teams and I am excited
