Some Madden 2010 details revolving around player movement & player momentum. The strides I am seeing definitely make 2010 look very good from what has been shown to us fans so far. Thoughts?

Delhomme's suckyness will make passing impossible.

Hopefully we'll trade for Cutler before the game comes out.

These changes, along with the game speed changes, have made major strides in giving Madden that extra layer of a 'thinking man's game'. For the future vision of Madden, we want a football coach that's never played Madden before to be able to take down a Madden Challenge competitor...and these are some of the steps to get us to that goal.

That's the part I liked, they are making it more realistic with player movement. Meaning twitch players can't get poo tons of picks and crazy jump catches anymore. Kinda takes one of my buddies out of the running in Madden 2010.

I am really excited to play this years Madden. I always thought that the game should be a little bit slower. It always seemed like things would happen that there would be no way in hell that it would happen on a real Sunday. I read some of the comments from a person that posted and I agree with the player introduction. I really miss that from a previous year, I want to say 08 or 07.

They better bring back Moore to a 79 OVR rating. They low balled his ass for no reason in madden 09.

I hope they do a better job with the online leagues and the fantasy drafting.

The Sega 2k8 was a MAJOR let down

True that, true that. I have a question did anyone run into anyone abusing the option cheat in madden 2008????

Basically what they are doing is adjusting stats and game speed.

Let me explain.

In previous maddens the game engine ran fast and player movement was notched up. (gave it more of an arcade feel)

Next year's madden player speed's and ability's have dropped.

in 09 the slowest skill player (wr,CB,Rb....ext) was like in the high 60's this year the speed and abilities range from the low 40's to 99. So slow corners aren't going to be as fast this year as they were last year. (example someone from last years game could have had an 86 in speed where as in madden 2010 they might have an 80)

Cutting ability has been slowed and decreased while the amount of yards to make a player change direction has increased.

Game speed has been decreased to slow the game down to a more realistic speed so running plays and pocket's develop realistically.

Overall giving the game a more sim feel compared to previous madden's.

you mean where the qb would scramble one way than pitch it to the HB just before he gets tackled.

the HB then has a clear path to take it to the house 90% of the time... if so then yes i have experienced that. incredibly annoying

Also hated when people put speed demon CB's as their 4th and 5th wide receivers because my dimeback and back up free safety get burned every time.

guy put up like 300 yards 4 tds on me with FABIAN WASHINGTON

That would be the one I'm talking about the only way to slow it down is to play nickel or dime and bring the safety's down. (forces the qb to make a cut up the middle or just take 3 - 4 yards on the outside.)

yea, my friend did all of those running out of atlanta's playbook in 08, before that he would have fast Backup LB's as DE's and the DE's would play the two DT spots and he would play a zone blitz the whole game on defense. Sending 7 guys or more almost every play. About the only passing play I usually had enough time to get off consistently was a te slant. (when the whole dline has a speed rating in the high 70 - mid 80's it's hard to get a pass off.)

You also won't have to worry about that anymore, since they've edited the Ability stats like catching to be in the 30 - 99 range. I'm pretty sure Fabian there is going to be in the 40's. (they said a guy with a 70 catch would drop some balls in a game, so you can expect what it will look like if they try that with Washington.

thank god for that change cause i hated that crap too. it would drive me cray when someone would roll out until you cant see the other side of the field any more and then through it to a speedy corner on the otherside. you would never have the right coverage if you were in man and if you were in zone they would hit something deep.
