i played it earlier. i like it a lot better then 09, which i rarely played but that was a shit load better then 08. I like how you pick the plays this year, u press a button for the 3 on screen plays (X,Y,A) instead of last year where you had that lil highlighted box that everyone could see what you picked (unless you bluffed overcourse). The gameplay is a little bit slower but i actually found it better becuase there is hella shit going on in the game now you can see it a little bit better, instead of getting sacked in under 2 seconds. my dude today blocked a dline man and the dlineman bounced off him and stumbled with his arms in the air, regrouped himself and tackled me behind the line of scrimmage. just like the in pros. the tackling is improved. i hit sticked some punk on the return and made him fumble it and returned it for a td. i won 14-0. game is fun again. i think ill actually play this madden as much as i played 05. graphics are better too.
plus i heard a lot of this years game is the franchise mode, which lacked lately and why i didnt get into madden like i normally do. cant wait to pimp out the 9ers.
