darthsiddus2 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 y'know I think that every time they do something good for madden they always take two steps back. they need to take a look at the 2k series and see how they did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazorbeak Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I hope the next person on the internet that thinks a comparison to a five year old dead franchise is an astute observation stubs a toe. Whining about a 5 year old game is the favorite past-time of people who love whining about football videogames. Edit: not talking about anyone in particular. It's just a general, useless observation that has been made about a million times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsiddus2 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 now that was uncalled for! I am not a fanboy of either game franchise but I think that there are still some features that 2k had that Madden has yet to implament that's all I was saying.

chris caulfield Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 EA being their usual greedy selves didn't give the UK fans online franchise for free like it should be and is asking us to pay for it. I feel let down by EA who gave no notion to anyone that they would be making us pay for something I assumed would come with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Edwards Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 alot of stuff that would of been free on madden back on the PS2 and Xbox we are now forced to pay because of the online store that the 360 and PS3 have. it is just away for companys to get more money out of you for something that should of came with the game or for companys to release a half finished product then charge you more for add-ons and updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's their way of preventing people from getting the game used. They made a mistake in the UK and Australia that they're trying to fix, apparently. They were supposed to get a code too, I read.

Mr T Jobs To Me Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Whoever made Jeff Fisher a worse coach than Jim Zorn, Rex Ryan, ****ING ROOKIE COACH Jim Caldwell, and about 15 others, should have their face dipped into a deep fryer for 30 seconds.

Eisen-verse Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Side Note: Devin Hester is a beast in this game! If he get's any space, which he normally can, then you've got a garunteed 15 yard pick-up each and every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderndaywarrior Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I just picked Madden 10 up last night after work...I don't do online so I can't comment on that portion,as far as Franchise and Superstar mode go I can say I like better than the last few Madden games,it seems to play a little better(at least for me anyway)....the only things I have noticed is when DB's use a "press" defense,it seems often times my receivers get sucked into the DB(it's almost like the DB has my WR by the arm and is dragging him around) which can be annoying;and for some reason it seems when the defense forces a fumble/int,they have a much easier time running it back for the touchdown than they used to.

CQI13 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I'm itching to play this, but gotta wait another couple of weeks. Whenever I've played it in the stores, I use the Dolphins in a hideous Orange Tops with Green Pants and striped socks (I think). And I also have trouble hitting almost any pass that's not to the RB or the TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming I'll get an early pick thanks to having to spend half the year with Kyle Boller at the helm (and the other half still being the friggin' Rams!), and my two top choices for a first round pick are Tim Tebow and Jordan Shipley. After heavily scouting them, both appear to be quite beastly, to the point I feel it'd revitalize my passing attack. Sorry Matt Jones, but I only signed you because the original number two was just painfully bad.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris caulfield Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 OK so I kinda went undefeated in the regular season in the first season of my Vikings franchise. The kinda bit is because instead of going 16-0 I went 15-0-1 so I never lost but does it really count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQI13 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Undefeated would be correct. However you couldn't claim to go 16-0. So at best you'd be finishing 17-0-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
