Im going to stick up for Pasta a little here. Yes we all know Pasta loves the Seahawks but there has been alot of Seahawks news related to Madden. One of the first screens ever released was Hasselback and there was talk of the neon gloves....then Housh was gettin salty over his Madden ratings.....now the jersey thing which is legit Madden related news. I am a Cowboys fan and I dont really follow the Seahawks (just found out the roof cant close at the Seahawks staduim even though it looks retractable), but at I am on here for Madden related stuff and NCAA related stuff. It does not bother me that Pasta is a Homer and blogs about the Seahawks alot....its a BLOG not CNN or FOX , not an official news site dude. Also, instead of trying to embarass him and call him out in the main blog spot there is an option to send a message to him directly. just my 2 cents.

Long balls are non-existant unless you got a speed reciever,,,which the Cowboys dont so its hard for me to throw bombs. Romo got hurt and you can tell the difference in the QB's and the game is harder without your starter. Anyways I love the game so far....dont worry yall its a good game. A little over-hyped cause it's got that 09 feel to it just a little bit, but it is addictive again like Pasta mentioned and I have a hard time puttin it down.

I got Madden today and have played three games so far, all in Franchise. The game is great but I allways get picky when I start to kick the computers ass or score alot of points. I play on All Pro and it is pretty easy to run (Cowboys) but hard to pass. I noticed the RB's and FB's are allways wide open in the flats and right now Marion Barber leads my team in receptions. Thats gotta be fixed. The sliders need to be tweaked to make the game a little tougher on All Pro. I play 12 min qtrs with 15 second runoff to get accurate stats. If someone out there is good with sliders post them in the forums. Other than that the game is pretty much perfect....oh yea I turned off the fight for the fumble cause I allways loose even when the bar is clearly in my favor.

the game looks tough this year and graphics look so much better. I like the fact that the QB's miss passes because of the new ratings.

I would like to see this as a REPLAY camera angle but as a gameplay angle? not for me. I have allways wanted them to make replay cameras from the stadium seats, like anywhere in the stadium you can drag the camera there and watch.

MUCH BETTER! they got rid of that "fog" to make things look further away. all that did was annoy the crap out of me. I complained alot when I first saw that because the only time things look foggy at a game is when the weather is bad or fireworks just went off. this looks MUCH clearer now and way better than it used to. The helmets are nice and shiney and there is a hint of metalic in the paint even from a distance. NICE!

Got a few dudes at work and on the FD so we are thinking of doing a FD vs PD league. Prob advance once a week because of schedules but we plan on have all FD in AFC and all of PD in NFC with a Fantasy draft. Waiting to see who all actually buys the game first.

Im surprised your not doing a Fantasy Draft to help mix it up, or are you? Already got trade talk on here.

Pasta I played in your NCAA league last year and had a good time. I think I am just too busy to be in this league and would slow yall down but man I feel like im missin out. This is going to kick the NCAA online Dynasty's ass!

pastapadre.com : Quick Madden 10 Demo Thoughts

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 17:38:31 +0000

For those of you who like to run a QB sneak into the endzone look out, you DO NOT CONTROL THE QB ON THE GOAL LINE ON QB SNEAK. you do control him on a qb sneak on other parts of the field but at the goal line, uh uh. As soon as you hit the hike button the line charges forward and the QB does this gay little dive forward. if your line does not surge forward enough then you dont get in. Kinda cool and it takes the cheese out of the play. but i got stopped on 3and1 and 4and1 at the goal line. I thought the CPU messed up or something. The new animations are amazing and I see huge hits. During the Wildcat formation i see the QB in the cut scene instead of the RB or whoever is lined up at QB. BIG ISSUE. maybe i dont hit buttons as fast as others. but the fight for the fumble is friggin hard! GAME IS AMAZING SO FAR! And ill repeat, the crowd is SPOT ON. I love it! and yes it should be neutral cause its the SB. NCAA 10 has the same problem with its bowl games.

F'in great Demo. there are some quirky things here and there but it is very fun and the speed is perfect. I think you can speed up the real game if its too slow for you. On the kick off the ball looks like its going straight up ....slowly. Couple other wierd ones but im sure they will get it right. The crowd sounds PERFECT! They finally got the crowd noise to sound like a football game. The last couple years I HATED the crowd so it is a huge improvement. I really dont notice the refs which is the way it should be,

-10 points on his "awareness" rating for not knowing wtf is going on before he opens his mouth and makes an ass out of himself.

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 04:19:32 +0000

It got an 8.3 score at IGN and a video review. I think this is a good game but for me it does not have enough going for it to replace 2009. I am not really interested in building a fantasy team and I dont really play the campus legend thing. I am skipping it this year and hitting Madden. IGN posted a new video of Madden 10 and it looks friggin amazing. I think these videos and the reviews I have seen have helped. I expect major things for NCAA next year, it just has that feel to it. Looks like progressive lighting is back for NCAA but still cut from Madden....that kinda sucks for Madden.

http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1736/NCAA-Fo... Dudes above posted a frickin review....little early huh? It isnt too detailed IMO, nothing that Pasta has not covered allready. It got a 9.3 which is a good sign but I like to read Pasta's impressions better since I tend to agree with him more than not. Bottom line for me is that I am waiting for Madden this year (a first) and Tiger 10 is getting all my attention for now.

These really arent small improvements, they are huge! Some of these litle "nit pick" items that they fixed ruined franchise for some people. This year is so bad ass so far.....BELIEVE the hype! yeah there might be a few patches as usual after launch but this game has me fired up.

wITH TONY ON THE SIDELINE....I WOULD LOVE IT. ACTUALLY I HOPE IT GETS TO THE POINT WHERE YOUR AFC GAMES ARE CBS AND NFC GAMES ARE FOX AND ESPN IS ON MONDAY NIGHTS......BUT THAT IS WISHFULL THINKING. JOE BUCK HATES DOING COMMENTARY FOR BASEBALL BUT HE GETS PAID. MADDEN WILL HAVE TO PAY HIM A BUNCH OF MONEY TO GET HIM IN A STUDIO. TROY WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE ALSO.....IF THERE WAS NOT MONEY CAUGHT UP IN AN EXCLUSIVE DEAL WITH THE NFL THEY MIGHT HAVE THE EXTRA $$ FOR THAT.

Well I will have to wait till i get home to SEE it cause this is jumpy at work. But from the SOUND I can tell you I love it. One of my biggest complaints for last year was the lack of atmosphere in the crowd noise but it sounds greatly improved. You can hear the crowd chants louder too which is a nice surprise. It sounded like a Playoff game that the crowd was into and thats great.
