Madden NFL 10 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Madden 10 is the best and most serious attempt made by EA at football yet. You can really see how the franchise is evolving from that gamey feel to a more simulated experience. I don't know if you remember from a couple years back but they used to have that QB vision mechanic and then those stupid icons for star players. Well thats all gone now and thank god.

First the most important aspect, gameplay. Madden 10 delivers a much more authentic feel with the slower pace and more realistic play progression. You can really read the plays now and sit in the pocket. The first thing you will notice is the change in QB throwing ability. It is way softer of a passing game now and the ball stays in the air much longer, especially on deep balls. This may be frustrating at first but you will get used to it and appreciate the differences between arm strengths of different QBs. You're really going to love having a Cutler or Palmer as opposed to the softer throwers.

As mentioned the Pro-Tak system excels. The running game, although still difficult, improves with the Pro-Tak engine and its blocking mechanics. You can really feel the benifit of having a highly rated O-line.

There are more positives but i will point out some gameplay nuances that i find annoying. First the floating balls that QB's leave up when they're almost sacked is over-the-top. 25% of the time the ball is intercepted by a D-lineman and its just annoying. They should tuck and take the sack more like in real life.

Also, there are some problems with the O-lineman and they're blocking where they simply let rushers get by and you either get sacked or they tackle you're running back before he gets the ball. It's a glitch too, not the consequence of bad play calling.

Now, the graphics look even better this year. The lighting and weather effects feel great. To bad they do not have progressive lighting though. If you play a dusk game it will stay that way the entire time.

Well im out of characters so..
