Madden NFL 10 - Playstation 3

ok, Madden is the best football series of all time in my opinion, but there are some issues that I want to be fixed. I'd like to have a wider field view option in which the players are smaller. secondly, it upsets me when on-line opponents call an on-side kick, and you have to call a time out because you can't remember the buttons to reset to a regular kick off return. another complaint is the accelerated clock while playing on-line. if I see the defense is calling a run defense, I'll audible to a different package and the time runs out. I pretty much have to audible to the preset audibles, and not the ones I choose because I will get a delay of game call. lastly, the fight for the ball always seems to favor the defense because when the offensive team fumbles, there seems to be a shock to the player on offense (at least with me). the fight for the ball and accelerated clock feature really take away a lot in my opinion.

I am the first person to bash the Madden series every year because of dashed expectations. But this year, they really took a giant leap forward. This is the best Madden since the Super Nintendo days. What makes it a great installment are the much improved graphics, the increased AI, the improved running game, the more realistic pass defense, and the SLIDERS!!Most of all the sliders. You can change any aspect of the game, on both sides of the ball. You can even change the speed of the game if you want to see each play develop more slowly, so play action passes actually have the potential to work for a change. My favorite slider is the "speed threshold". This widens the gap between slow lineman and quick running backs. No longer will Adrian Peterson be caught from behind by a defensive end. You can really see the ratings and differences in players shine through this year. If you have your third string QB in the game, he will struggle with accuracy. Good runners break tackles, and good linebackers make tackles. You will actually notice an improved awareness on star players.Injuries are much improved as well this year. If your QB has a sore elbow, you make the decision to play him or not at his dimished ability. You have control over every single aspect of this game. If you don't like it out of the box, tweak it to perfection. EA finally gave the player full control to make the game the way THEY want it. I'm in my third season of franchise mode and I the only possible complaint I can offer is that in one game I had three kickoffs run back against me. But A) it never happened again and B) my special teams is horrible. It took awhile but they nailed it this season.

Let me start off by sating that this is the best madden I have ever played. Yet, for the price, I still feel like Ive been scammed for some reason. I'm fine with paying $60 for a quality game like MGS4, COD4 MW, COD Modern Warfare 2, Gran Turismo, etc.. I feel that this game was rushed, and that the preview blogs that they posted moths before the launched made me feel like that this is going to be one of those top tier games. They worked on the visual details so much that they didnt spend enough time on the actual gameplay.Pros:1. The claim that they made that whatever you see on Sundays is what you will see on the game is true. You will see every detail on the player (towels, handwarmers, type of sleeve, type of helmet down to the exact model and facemask, gloves). Referees are there and so are the chain gangs and coaches.2.The mechanics have slightly improved. You can now adjust the game speed based on you preference. The routes WRs run have been improved (more realistic).Cons: THERE ARE MANY1.Franchise Mode lacks a lot. The Injury system has improved but only on the short term (during games). In the long term (season), injury sys. is still unrealistic. For example, If a player tears his ACL completely during the Pre-Season, he will be out for the season and available the following season. Taken into acct that ACLs take about 1 year to heal with surgery, this is accurate. But one of my guys tore an ACL, during the NFC Championship game and he was out for the season, but was available at the start of the following season. Considering that the NFC Champ. games is in late Jan. and the start of pre season is in Aug., thats only 6 1/2 months. There is no way a player can come back from a complete ACL tear in 6 months. Also, the players are too agressive in contract signings. I played as the Eagles one time and their heir apparent at QB, Kevin Kolb wanted $32M for a 4 year contract, and McNabb was still on the team. Kolb had done nothing for the team except for holding kicks, and he wants $32M. That's absurd! He wasnt even that good, He was ated in the 70s. Then the next year Ellis Hobbs was asking for another $40M+ contract, FOR BEING A NICKELBACK!! I think Madden should take into acct the roles that each player plays on the team and how they should negotiate in contracts. A player that I drafted 2nd overall(QB) wanted a 6 year $90M contract and he hasnt even proven anything, He is worse than his real life counter-parts. I can tell you for sure that Matt Ryan, Matt Stafford, Mark Sanchez, and Joe Flacco didnt get that kind of contract. They should use the contract system from NFL Head COach 09 which implemented bonuses, because in this game the GM (you ) have no leverage against them. If you dont sign them they go to Free Agency and you will be mad at wasting that 2nd overall pick.2. More from FRANCHISE MODEThe Madden people claim that there will be a different feeling in playing regular season games than playoff games. Personally, I dont see a difference. The cut scene after winning the SB is always the same and looks so fake. On the makeshift stage that the winners stand on, its always the QB who holds the MVP trophy no matter who wins it. A WR or TE can be MVP and you will still see the QB holding the trophy in the end. Also, the cutscenes get annoying and most of it is cheesy. What annoys me out of all of them is the chain gang measuring the spot scene. If you pick up 9 yards on 1st and 10 and can clearly see that the ball didnt make it across, the cuscene would still play. Whats annoying is that if you gain 9yds, the ball is 1yd behind the 1st down marker, in the cutscene they make it look like the ball is 2in from the 1st down marker.Madden only has 3 or 4 spots that the ball is in during that cut scene (2in short, 1 foot short, ball halfway past stick, and ball completly past the stick) Even if youre downed 1yd past the 1st down, when the cutscene plays, the ball will be at most 1/2 past the stick, but when it comes back to the regular view, the ball gets spotted 1yd past the stick.3.Players on the sideline.Everytime the game cuts to a scene showing the entire sideline, the are two groups of players who do the same thing, they are even snchronized.4. Limited playbookThe playbook is so limited. There are no trick plays to run, and the sub packages feature has been removed.Now you have to indv sub your players to change packages. To touch on the playbook, it is so limited. I wish that they would update the playbooks like they do with the roster. Heck, the eagles dont even have a wildcat set for Mike Vick.5.WildcatIts good that they put in the wildcat formation in the game. But its basically useless. First off, you cant audible out of it and you cant hot route out of it. If you play in anything higher than PRO difficulty, you will find this formation useless. Also on WC passing plays, the passer cant scramble, and since you cant audible out of it, the defense coincidentally calls a blitz and you are basically guaranteed a sack.6. AIThere are serious problems with the CPU AI in this game. If you play in PRO diff. and up, you will find the CPU team basically calling plays that perfectly counters what you called. If you call an Iso run up the middle out of the I, defense will blitz all or at least 2 LBs, and they will pack the box with 8 men. If you audible out of that and call a deep pass play, they will drop everyone back. This ticks me off the most because I feel like I'm playing against someone, and telling them what play I'm gonna run b4 I snap the ball. This is what makes wildcat useless. If you call an option play out of the wildcat. The defense will blitz both ouside LBs, so it doesent matter if you hand it off or do a QB keeper the defense will still get you for a loss. You cant do anything about it cause you cant audible. Also, if you call a wildcat run play, the defense will stuff 10 guys in the box and your outsde recievers will not be covered by anybody, but since you can audible, thats another negative play. "Coincidentaly", If you call a wildcat passing play, all the DBs will cover and jam your WRs and blitz the LBs, and since you cant scramble, the passer is a sitting duck, and this is almost a guaranteed sack.7.Difficulty.The difficulty settings on Madden has little or nothing to do with your player's or CPU's players' skills. Its all about making mistakes and the CPUs ability to "spy in your huddle"(know what play youre gonna run). On the PRO level, its still impossible to stop the passing attack of the CPU. No matter what play u call in D-fense, the CPU QB will complete every pass. The difference btw EASY and HArder difficulties is when you set it to an easier mode, the CPU's QB will throw an INT or fumble in the redzone. So the QB will end up completing 20 out of 24 passes and out of his 4 incompletions 3 will be INTs.8.BlockingTHe blocking is terrible. Linemen always misses blitzin players and its even worse on running plays. They always seem to let their man go right when the RB is hitting the hole. So even if you line up in a Spread 4WR formation and run a dive play, it will seem like you will gain at least 20 yds cause the defense is spread out, there is nothing but green in front of you. But no, right when you hit the hole a 300lb DT will somehow shed his block or the Lineman will let him go, and tackle a RB going full speed wich nets you a 3 yd gain. I DONT KNOW HOW SOMEONE COULD TURN THEIR BODY AROUND 90 DEGREES AND WRAP UP A RUNNINGBACK CHARGING AT FULL SPEED!!! The problem is that the running backs hit the hole soft which is completely different from how real life RBs do it.9.Inefectivity of the BlitzBlitzing is done to knock the QB out of his rythmn and hopefully get a sack. In Madden, it is impossible to get a sack. The QB will somehow find a reciever (even if its is on his blindside) and get rid of the ball at the last moment. Even if you knock him on his ass every play, he would still get the ball out and his rythmn would still be intact. His Linemen also have superpowers in the sense that if you blitz a linebacker in between the RG and RT and bouth of them are blocking the DT And DE, then the LG or LT (someone who is 350lbs!!) will slide all the way in between the RG and RT to pick up the blitz.10.Special TeamsSpecial teams is a non-factor in this game. Its impossible to block a field goal, impossible to block a punt(except from the 1yd line), and the blocking on Punt Return is terrible. I dont even do FG blocks anymore, its a waste of time

I got this game for 4.00. Amazingly, I think this game holds up perfectly today here in 2013. If you don't care abut updated rosters (but you can edit them anyway) this is still a very fun game. I actually prefer it over 11, 12 and even 13. It's just more polished. Make sure you patch it if you can. I was worried Sony couldn' patch this old game, but if you put the disc in and play, it should automatically patch it up before you play. Mind you, without the patch, this game is pretty buggy, so it's pretty important you to patch it. If you need to patch, I recommend doing it on auto. Setup your auto patching in the system settings of the PS3 and let it do automatically. I have mine to setup autoupdates at 2am in the morning. I tried to install this patch manually and it never would complete. So keep that in mind when wanting to patch. auto is your best bet. Or doing it very early in the morning with less traffic.The game plays smoothly, graphics are great, commentary great and it's just a great playing football game. The original guys from Tiburon made this game. After it was released, they left E.A. You'll see when playing it the time they took to make this game. It's very fun. I like it a lot.

This IMO is the best Madden ever! Great quality game. The disc is in immaculate condition and the game is very enjoyable. Thank you!

Like new and fast delivery great seller.

普通のマッデンプレーする分には問題ないかと古い分引退した選手とかがいるのでそれに感動はするかな。

Grafik ist in ordnung aber das spiel selbst ist mir einfach zu blöd um ehrlich zu sein maximal 15 sekunden gameplay dann wieder strategien raussuchen und dann nur 1 bis 2 klicks je nach dem wohin der wurf gehen soll dann 5 meter laufen und alles wieder von vorn.auch im multiplayer spaßfaktor=0

El juego tardó en llegar un poco pero no he tenido ningún problema con el producto. El juego es complicado si no tienes ni idea de este deporte, pero no tardarás en aprender los mecanismos y poder disfrutar.

息子と親の対戦ですが、コミニュケーションとれて、ゲームでなかなか良好な親子関係を保ててます。
