Madden NFL 10 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Let me start off by saying that I am a HUGE fan of 2K Sports and I've been upset with EA for the last 5 years ...but I am also a HUGE American Football fan so I can't seem to stay away from Madden.

Every year I compare Madden to NFL 2K5 and every year I'm disappointed because Madden seems to never improve anything...until this year. I still think that NFL 2K5 is the best American Football game I've ever played (and I've played the last 10 Madden games), but this year I didn't find myself wishing that EA Sports would just go away.

I really enjoyed the slower gameplay, it makes the game look and feel much more realistic. The graphics are amazing and EA Sports added a new halftime show which isn't half bad. A lot of people have been complaining about the gameplay being slower - they say that they can't start their run before getting tackled or that they can't get the QB to release the ball before getting sacked ...my suggestion to them is that they play on an easier mode until they get use to the new gameplay. You have to approach playing this Madden as if you were playing in an actual football game. You have to read the opposing defense/offense so that you know what to expect. If you're not football savvy or a "gamer" then you'll probably have tough time with this year's Madden. (BTW: I don't consider myself a "gamer" but I do like to think that I am football savvy.)

I think the new "fight for every yard" thing is my favorite feature though. It's not a walk in the park, but it definitely makes the game more enjoyable because the fate of the game is truly in your hands. It's no longer all about trying to run straight through the defense in order to break a tackle, now you can actually get into a bit of a shoving match and "fight for every yard".
