  i like what i see couldnt be more happier with this post its the second best post ya'll did.

  but what i wanna see in the game is different jersey sleeves, for example like Peyton Manning his jersey sleeves are just loose and hang

  and another example (Jay Cutler) his jersey sleeves are tight and dont hang.......

  and another example is (Matt Ryan) his jersey sleeves or kinda short but they arent above his shoulder pads though they are just almost above

  add differnt color cleats in the game add flat jackets and back plates, and stop making shoulder pads stick far out when the jersey sleeves are high

  please dont forget to add these things cleats is a must and visor clips and flat jackets and back plates and the jersey sleeves

  Guys this is not me speaking this is madden dev team, they released 5 new features on madden, and here they go

  What really happens at the bottom of a fumble pile?

  According to the NFL players I've talked to, it sounds as though the craziest action of every game doesn't even make it onto cameras.

  Ronnie Brown of the Dolphins simply described it to me as "a scuffle."

  Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald told me, "Spitting, stepping on your hands … whatever it takes to get the ball out of your hands, they'll do it."

  Rookie Mark Sanchez even broke down how USC practiced the mayhem: "When you coached on it at any school, they call it a dog pile, and anything goes -- pinching, scratching, biting -- that's the way it is. And if you're not good at it, then you're not protecting the football, you're not competing to get it back. And then it's about the guys on your team when they know you have it, pulling guys off the pile and stalling the refs so you can get it if you don't have it. There's a right way to go about it, and I think they taught us that at USC."

  Luckily for Madden gamers, they'll be able to experience the chaos without the controller poking them in the eyes, as the fumble pile is one of the new features in the game.

  For the first time in series history, when the ball hits the ground, it doesn't just go to the guy who randomly touches it. In "Madden NFL 10," players will pile on the ball, and gamers will need to pound the button that is shown on the screen to try to wrestle away the rock. As the button commands change on the screen, the ball can switch hands numerous times until the refs actually dig through the bodies and declare a winner.

  "That sounds a lot more fun than being in a real pile," Brown says, laughing. "Guys will do just about anything to get that ball."

  But the fumble pile isn't the only new addition to "Madden NFL 10," and ESPN sat down with the game's senior producer, Phil Frazier, to get all the dirt on the new game. Here are the five things you need to know about "Madden NFL 10" ...

  "Madden NFL 10" introduces a new technology system called Pro-Tak. The biggest addition this advanced technology brings comes in the form of gang tackles. In "Madden NFL 10," up to nine-man gang tackles can take place (up from three in last year's edition), and they can be played out in any fashion, as in eight defenders versus the runner, or even four offensive players trying to push four defensive players as they try to move the pile toward the first down. On some plays, the running back gets stood up by a couple of defenders and pushed back to the point where the refs on the field blow the whistle even though he never went down. And on the goal line, if a runner looks to be stopped before reaching pay dirt, you will even see offensive linemen try to hit the pile to help push the ball into the end zone. It's all based on size, strength and the number of guys in the pile.

  This might be the most significant difference to the way the game looks and plays this year, and it's a change that definitely helps improve the franchise's realism.

  “

  Pro-Tak is a new animation technology that helps drive several new features in the game ... nine-man gang tackles, a brand new pocket for the offensive line, steerable blocks, steerable tackles and the fight for the fumble feature that really lets you fight for that ball at the bottom of the pile.

  ”

  -- "Madden NFL 10" senior producer

  Phil Frazier

  "Pro-Tak is a new animation technology that helps drive several new features in the game," Frazier said. "This includes nine-man gang tackles, a brand new pocket for the offensive line, steerable blocks, steerable tackles and the fight for the fumble feature that really lets you fight for that ball at the bottom of the pile.

  "This technology is amazing. It allows us to procedurally move players into gang tackles, it allows us to procedurally move the pile, and the nice thing about it is it's not just one offensive guy against eight defensive players. You can have two guys try to wrap the ball carrier on defense, then have an offensive lineman hit the pile from behind and try to move the pile. It's all dynamic, all procedurally done, and it really allows us to blow out the animations."

  Frazier broke down how Pro-Tak handles those fumble piles. "You don't literally try and bend a guy's fingers back or anything like that, but that's the background intent. You hear all these stories about what goes on at the bottom of the pile, and we like to think of the button-mash for the ball as one of those things that you're doing. It's not like the X button is twist the wrist, but you have to pound the buttons in order to fight for the ball.

  "The ball hits the ground, and this doesn't happen with every fumble, but if there is a situation where two or three guys are right there, then they'll jump on the ball. You're unclear over who has the actual possession, so we cut to a cut scene, and that cut scene will show players jumping on the pile and fighting for the ball. Then, during that cut scene, we are going to flash a button, and that button you have to button-mash as fast as you can. We are also going to show a meter, and that meter represents possession, and it will either point one way or the other. You basically fight throughout the cut scene, then when the referee comes in and pulls the players off, we finally reveal who recovered the fumble."

  One of the toughest aspects of playing quarterback in Madden (or real life) is trying to look down the field during a heavy pass rush. You're trying to spot the open man while at the same time watching the pocket collapse around you and looking for someplace to run.

  "Madden NFL 10" introduces a new quarterback avoidance system that should go a long way toward helping solve this issue.

  “

  Now, when your quarterback is under pressure, your controller will actually start to rumble. And now, when you feel that pressure, you feel that rumble, you can flick the right stick and do an automatic avoidance move.

  ”

  -- "Madden NFL 10" senior producer

  Phil Frazier

  "When I play the game, I have a hard time looking in two places at the same time," Frazier said. "My eyes want to look at the receiver, but then you also have four or five defenders trying to sack your quarterback. It's a tricky situation when you're trying to throw a pass. So now, when your quarterback is under pressure, your controller will actually start to rumble. And now, when you feel that pressure, you feel that rumble, you can flick the right stick and do an automatic avoidance move. You don't have to think too hard, you just flick the stick, and he'll try to avoid whatever pressure is there. And it is direction-sensitive, so if you press to the right, he'll try to move to the right. And hopefully that avoidance will give you that extra second you need in order to get the pass off.

  "And this is all based on player ratings, so if you have a guy like Ben Roethlisberger, you hit the QB-avoidance stick, and he is going to break out of more of those situations than the average quarterback. But the goal is to give most players that extra second to get off that pass, and while that extra second or third attempt might not work for everybody, we typically want people to have success. When they hit that stick during pressure, they will typically have success the first time, but if you keep holding the ball and try to hit the stick a second or even a third time, it's going to be tricky."

  When I first heard that EA Sports was adding the Wildcat formation to the game this year, the first emotion I felt was panic. If anything will break the game this year and become the most overused formation at the Madden Challenge, the Wildcat is it.

  Not to worry, Frazier promised. "I understand the concern, and if we were adding it as a part of downloadable content or something after the fact where we didn't have the time to fix the AI to go with it, then the Wildcat could be a real problem. But the fact that we're adding it during our developmental cycle and we have a chance to take a look at those AI issues that you're concerned about, I don't think it's going to be a problem.

  “

  Just as we're adding the Wildcat, we're also making sure our defenses are ready for the Wildcat.

  ”

  -- "Madden NFL 10" Senior Producer

  Phil Frazier

  "Just as we're adding the Wildcat, we're also making sure our defenses are ready for the Wildcat. Just as you saw with the Dolphins, they had great early success with it. Ronnie Brown was putting up huge numbers with it. But then throughout the season, teams started to adjust and they figured out ways to stop it. We had to program that same logic into our defense as well, so you don't see the same five-touchdown performance out of the Wildcat like the Dolphins had early on.

  "We have a guy by the name of Anthony White, and he does all our playbooks. He is kind of a playbook hobbyist and he buys coaching books, coaching schemes, and he tries to get his hands on black-market copies of playbooks. All he does is watch NFL tape and read playbooks, and he really nailed the Wildcat."

  The more I talk to players, the more I realize how important these video game ratings really are. These numbers are talked about in the locker rooms and even on the practice field as when somebody misses a block, guys will joke about how their rating just dropped five points.

  But nothing has prepared the NFL for what's about to happen with "Madden 10" as the producers of the game have decided to create a bigger gap in the ratings between the elite players and those who ride the pine.

  “

  Our intention this year was to make the elite players stand out. We're pretty sure a lot of players are going to be extremely unhappy about this, but the result is, there are a lot of guys who are coming down in ratings across the board. Every single rating is being adjusted.

  ”

  -- "Madden NFL 10" Senior Producer

  Phil Frazier

  That means while guys like Peyton Manning still strut around with a 99 overall, backups like Matt Leinart can only watch as their overall rating drops from a 85 to a 62. Ouch.

  "Quite frankly, we were getting to a point in the game where elite players just felt like every other player in the game," says Frazier. "Brandon Jacobs, who is just a beast, wasn't able to break that many more tackles than the average running back because almost all of the ratings ended up between 80 and 99.

  "Our intention this year was to make the elite players stand out. We're pretty sure a lot of players are going to be extremely unhappy about this, but the result is, there are a lot of guys who are coming down in ratings across the board. Every single rating is being adjusted. The elite guys, they're safe. Peyton Manning, Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald, guys like that are going to be saved. But the average guy is certainly going to come down. Guys in the 70s are now average. You may even see some guys in the 40s. And the gameplay impact is absolutely huge. Now the teams actually feel like they have a personality. When you're playing as a team like the 49ers who don't have that elite quarterback, you're going to have a hard time throwing the ball. It's going to feel like you have a problem at that position, and that's a great change

  One look at the new screens of "Madden 10" and the differences are almost too many to count. "Green gloves in Seattle, all the new jerseys that have been announced, Super Bowl patches for the players -- it's all about authenticity," explains Frazier. "We're even looking into fixing Troy Polamalu's hair. Little things like that we're really trying to bring home. We want everything you see on Sunday to be seen in "Madden NFL 10."

  "If you see a kicker warming up on the sideline, that's the type of detail we want you to see in "Madden" as well. All those details, from little things like the right stripes on uniforms to the kickers warming up, that's what you're going to see in the game. We've also slowed the game down a bit this year, and when people first hear that, they don't understand what that really means, but I think that now, it just feels right. When you're running the ball, you can see the holes and you have time to react and hit those holes. When you're going to turn up field, you actually need to plant your foot and turn up field. You can't just turn on a dime. There's no more Mario running. I just think the game is really starting to feel like an NFL simulation should feel, and that's really what I'm most proud of.

  “

  "And as much as it would be fun to Hit Stick the referees, I don't think our league insiders over at the NFL would be too pleased. Although we did plan to have an achievement in the game if you were able to play an entire game of "Madden" without knocking over an official. But it's so hard to do, we had to take it out. But no, you can't Hit Stick them, and even when you run into them in the game, they won't stop your progress, you just knock them over and keep going.

  "This year the focus was just getting the officials on the field. We've never had seven officials on the field before as in the old days we only had five. So we have more officials on the field and we're running at 60 frames per second. Maybe in the future you'll be able to knock their hats off with passes or something like that, but we're not quite there just yet.

  "And here's the thing, we're not even showing everything about the game just yet. This is just a taste. We have some pretty big online features that will appeal to both competitive gamers and cooperative gamers, we have a lot more presentation features to come as well as new Dynasty features.

  "Everything I just told you, that's only really scratching the surface."

• warrior310 said April 28, 2009

  jellybean answer this, are they really taking the knocking down of the refs out?????

• TheSteelers said April 28, 2009

  THEY SAID MORE ONLINE FEATURES! I THINK THEY MEAN FAIR PLAY! THEY ALSO SAID MORE PRESENTATION FEATURES! I REALLY HOPE THEY MEAN ESPN PRE, HALF, & POST GAME SHOWS!

• jellybean3454 said April 28, 2009

  no warrior360 they saying the refs will still be getting knocked down but it want slow the player's speed down when he hit the ref so people cant use that to cheat

• Black Mamba205 said April 28, 2009

  i think they meant it may slow you up some but you wont ever get tackled by the refs or if you don't have the ball you wont ever fall to the ground because of them warrior360. nice info though jellybean. probably one of the few extremly long comments worth reading.

• warrior310 said April 28, 2009

  my name is warrior310 and if you guys keep forgetting just call me warrior lol.

• Tical2399 said April 28, 2009

  They have E.Brown listed at 80 which is cool. They made these rating before the draft. I hope they leave the ratings where they are for most players instead of reducing ratings to reflect where the guy was drafted.

• bigpapagoldie77 said April 28, 2009

  does anybody know how the qb works in the wildcat? can you just put anybody there or are you only allowed to select from certain people?

  Peter, Ian, and company I think you three guys need to go into the plush offices of the EA Sports studios and reinvent the direction in which Madden 10 is currently heading.  I feel that Madden 10 is on the fast track to become another bust, rather then the ultra improved game that the early blogs by Ian and others had indicated.  In my humble estimation, Madden 10 is simply Madden 09 with a few minor tweaks here and there.  I believe that Madden 10 needs to be overhauled drastically before its August 2009 release date.  Except for the addition of towels, the Madden 10 player models are stagnant to say the least.  The Madden 10 players are still sporting the same old Johnny Unitas brand of cleats instead of sporting the newest Nike, Under Armor, Adidas, or even Reebok styles.  The Players in Madden 10 are still seen wearing their socks at one conservative length instead of having Players like Michael Crabtree and Larry Fitzgerald wear their socks with a lot of white showing or a little white showing.  I also had hoped that players would carry the football with two hands on the ball ala Larry Fitzgerald, Charles Woodson, and Ed Reed rather then having every Madden player carry the football in the ultra boring tuck position.  Also I had hoped that some player Jerseys would be untucked and the chin straps on one side of the helmet would be unbuckled to add some flare to the game.  Come on guys, you had promised that Madden would implement many of the elements that Madden consumers had taken the time offer to the Madden development teams via the team dev pages.  Common sense would suggest that If you have both Larry Fitzgerald and Troy P. at the disposal of the EA Sports creative teams during the photo shoot for the Madden cover release, then why not outfit them in the sensor suits and have them run routes, catch some footballs, run with the football by tucking it, palming it with one hand, or the rock the baby manner and also tackle a few dummies.  I had hoped that Madden 10 would have progressed enough to include signature styles (ala MLB 2k9) but I have a feeling based upon the early screens and videos I have seen to this point that I, like most of the Madden followers, are going to be thoroughly disappointed yet again with Madden10.  Let's go Peter, Ian, and company there is hopefully time (I know you guys keep tooting your own horn about how early you released the first Madden screen shots, but lets be honest you guys rarely make any changes to the initial gameplay screen shots) get back to drawing boards and add some flavor to Madden 10.  In closing here are a few pictures of what hope to see "In The Game" prior to Madden 10's release.  When viewing these pictures please take special note of the various sock styles, cleat brands, tape jobs, towels, unbuckled chin straps, and signature fashion style of each player and also take note of flare certain players display when carrying the football.

  hey EA please read this, i know its alot of comments but im a hardcore player and am rnaked online so ive seen every cheat in the book. heres my issues short n sweet...

  #1. make more catch animations, i read your section bout the hands and heads moving in relation to the ball n progressive awareness stuff so that kinda goes along with this also.<b><u>o often have cheating online players sent a TE on a fly route(str8 forward) and simply bulleted the pass and analogged it up and somehow the 82 rated tight end makes a glitchy/choppy turnaround facing the QB and full-extending grab.</b></u... this is unrealistic,this works best  in zone and thatwould never happen in a real game. make a more realistic animation wen catchin a high bullet pass on a fly route. **this goes for corner route to(where it looks like a post pattern, but flipped to the outside), they do the same animation wen catching a bullet pass but even glitchier cause its a full 360. if their gonna make these unrealistic plays, at least make the defensive back make him pay for exposing his entire body that way.

  #2<b>HUGE PROBLEM</b> i play with the bears and after forte gets tired, pretty much none of our RB's can carry the ball. but lets be realistic. even at 75CAR, no runningback(normally) fumbles on his first carry, make him more susceptible to fumble the more you give him the ball. 3 touches=high risk of fumbling. dnt make CAR a set amount of chance of him fumbling every snap, make CAR his ability to keep a low chance of fumbling over more carries, so you can look at a guy and decide how your going to use your running backs. all 3 like the bears in 07 to reduce chances giving them all limited carries or if you get a stud like uuuuh, idk, FORTE n since he's an every down back maybe you'll give your number 2 guy 7 carries scatttered throughout the game. but when you put a second string guy in, he shouldnt be a substantial risk to fumble his first 2 carries.

  #3<b>HUGE, HUGE PROBLEM</b>. hit stick needs to be exploited. anyone who plays the game knows that "hit stick" is a much surer tackle than a 'sure tackle'(just running into the player and letting the computer wrap up) in madden. and that's completely backwards. in the NFL ypu might see 4-7 BIG hits, because it's not a sure tackle. <b><u>IN MADDEN 09 HITSTICK OVERRIDES JUKE MOVES, SPIN MOVES 95% OF THE TIME</b></u> meaning if im 1-on-1 with a user, my chances of using an elusive move is slim to none, ill just get hammered when he presses hit stick, regardless of what back im playing with. highly in realistic. make it much harder to time. <b>when you "Hit stick it" almost "heat seekes" you to the ball-carrier and pops him</b> make it more difficult so even the best at doing it, depending on what player you have, has a success percentage of about 75% when a player is just catching the ball, but when ball carrying, drop it to around 30%-40% depending on tackling and hit power of tackler and elusiveness and quickness of ballcarrier. im not joking, about 5 times on a return i beat the whole team with Devin Hester only to have the darn kicker HIT STICK ME at the 50 yd line.tighten that up. make 'sure tackling' of more value and use in madden 10

  #4

  keep up the good work on man coverage, i was about to talk about thatbut reading what you guys have done is just wonderful. only thing i would add is a good defensive back(CB/SFTY/COV. LNEBACKER above 87 ovrl) should catch on to a route. if a player runs 2 pass plays 6 times in one quarter they should jump it. to level it out if it looks really similar or if the offensive user hot routes, they should jump and pay. depending on aggresiveness. Man coverage was just a joke in madden 09, only time i used it was to stop people excessively using the cheat addressed in #1, with the glitchy catch animation.

  WELL i at least tried to keep it short and sweet lol =^], well now it's long and efficient. lots of valuable info.

  #3<b>HUGE, HUGE PROBLEM</b>. hit stick needs to be exploited. anyone who plays the game knows that "hit stick" is a much surer tackle than a 'sure tackle'(just running into the player and letting the computer wrap up) in madden. and that's completely backwards. in the NFL ypu might see 4-7 BIG hits, because it's not a sure tackle. <b><u>IN MADDEN 09 HITSTICK OVERRIDES JUKE MOVES, SPIN MOVES 95% OF THE TIME</b></u> meaning if im 1-on-1 with a user, my chances of using an elusive move is slim to none, ill just get hammered when he presses hit stick, regardless of what back im playing with. highly in realistic. make it much harder to time. <b>when you "Hit stick it" almost "heat seekes" you to the ball-carrier and pops him</b> make it more difficult so even the best at doing it, depending on what player you have, has a success percentage of about 75% when a player is just catching the ball, but when ball carrying, drop it to around 30%-40% depending on tackling and hit power of tackler and elusiveness and quickness of ballcarrier. im not joking, about 5 times on a return i beat the whole team with Devin Hester only to have the darn kicker HIT STICK ME at the 50 yd line.tighten that up. make 'sure tackling' of more value and use in madden 10

  keep up the good work on man coverage, i was about to talk about thatbut reading what you guys have done is just wonderful. only thing i would add is a good defensive back(CB/SFTY/COV. LNEBACKER above 87 ovrl) should catch on to a route. if a player runs 2 pass plays 6 times in one quarter they should jump it. to level it out if it looks really similar or if the offensive user hot routes, they should jump and pay. depending on aggresiveness. Man coverage was just a joke in madden 09, only time i used it was to stop people excessively using the cheat addressed in #1, with the glitchy catch animation.

  WELL i at least tried to keep it short and sweet lol =^], well now it's long and efficient. lots of valuable info.

• KRYP2NITE4 said April 28, 2009

  Jellybean, im glad u posted the comment about the new features...and EA, i really hope and pray that the PLAYOFF logos will be on the field in the post season!! please make sure to add that into the game

• KRYP2NITE4 said April 29, 2009

  Playoff logos

  Dont forget.....Playoff logos

• KRYP2NITE4 said April 29, 2009

  playoff logos will only make a better presentation!.....ok i think i got my point acrosss, im done now lol

  Pnhshooper54 please stop posting all that BS i believe you've posted it enough just stop man because your making yourself seem like a annoying person

• Insidious_N said April 29, 2009

  How is it that Darius Butler, who had the fastest 40 time out of all the corner backs in the draft does not have the highest speed or acceleration rating in Madden 10?

• Insidious_N said April 29, 2009

  Darius Butler needs to have the highest speed and acceleration out of all the rookie cornerbacks!

• a phd n maddn08 said April 29, 2009

  Please enhance ONLINE PLAY....ALL I DO IS PLAY ONLINE.

  1)We need an option of what we are challenging(e.i the spot, out of bounce, fumble, was the QB hand moving foward)

  2)illegal touch (That has happenned a lot to me in 09 the WR runs out of bounce and came back and be the first to touch the ball.)

  3)People will abuse the wild cat offense (it shouldnt be allowed online..."WCO" is a glitch waiting to happen.

  4)do something with QB sneak on 4&1 or inch almost always the offence gets it. and FG and Extra point block. Make a good free of glitch.

  5)Put D.J Moore in the game...Johnny Knox's speed should be 96 he did ran a 4.35 look at the 40 dash chart he's faster than Harvy

  I hate when i see someone who's rank 10-30 with an average oppenent Level of 1,2 or 3. If someone plays low level opp they should have to earn 200 points prior to level-up and for someone who plays good players leave it as is. EA MUST DO SOMETHING WITH WHAT I CALL PLUG PULLERS ONLINE...IF SOMEONE KEEP ON "PULLING THE PLUG" TAKE AWAY ONE LEVEL PER 3 QUIts. I know they're time when the server f up that's understandable BUT please do someting with high DNF player. Or suspend their accounts for two weeks per 3 quits.

  Let me see what else am i "burning about?"

  oh yeah Cutler 2 Hester TD BEARS!

  NO TO FAIR PLAY ONLINE...I DONT MIND AN IDIOT GOING FOR A 4&20 ON HIS OWN SIDE OF THE FIELD.

  ONE MORE THING....XBOX360'S IS RESOLUTION FOR MADDEN IS 1080P HOW COME WE ALWAYS GET THE SHITTY RESOLUTION 720P FOR PS3. STEP IT UP SONY YOU MADE THE PS3 1080P FOR A REASON AND WHY CANT THE MOST PLAYED GAME(JOHN MADDEN FOOTBALL) ON THE SYSTEM NOT 1080P. THANKS

• warrior310 said April 29, 2009

  guys give me feedback on this.

  i think they should take the truck stick off for the offense and just let us press triangle or something.

  i say this because it will prevent your complaints about the players running high and the right anolog stick will still be used to juke but when you hit the stick up they should hurdle instead.

  this should only work on bigger backs.

  tell me if you agree!

• warrior310 said April 29, 2009

  with the ea rewind, dont make it so unnatural and choppy just breakdown the play and tell us what was done right and what was done wrong.

• clwalton21 said April 30, 2009

  those ign vids were really nice

• clwalton21 said April 30, 2009

  i studied the ign blocking video over and over but i didnt see double team blocking. with pro tak this has to be implemented into this years game. it so important.you guys can obviously make to tacklers latch on to a ball carrier so why not add double team blocking?.haynesworth cannot be blocked 1 on 1.on the positive note,i liked that we can see the flats now

• swfanboy said May 01, 2009

  ok i like the early avoidance system but is there any way to adjust the controllers rumble feature to let us know which way the pressure is coming from , meaning can it be set up where if pressure is coming from the right just the right side of the controller rumbles and vice versa for the left and then just have both sides rumble for front and back pressure allowing the advoidance to be to the sides

• Musaeus said May 01, 2009

  Bring Madden 10 to the PC please.

• jmoney522 said May 07, 2009

  EASPORTS,

                     I am i hard core gamer. I am 14 years old, and I have every madden from "01. I know every team's roster and how to use every team, so what I'm trying to say is that i know what I'm talking about and you should listen to me.

               The graphics look waay too cartoony for ps3. 2k sports had way better graphics than you guys before they went out of business. you seriously need to upgrade them by fixing :

  your camera angles (there should be default camera angles like side or blimp or iso),

  the overall shape of the players(they look really fake),

  the way the quarterback throws the ball (everyone knows they dont squat down, put the ball in a shotput position and then throw + it glitches half the time and doesnt even get thrown out of their hand or spin),

  the tackling is also fake ( it doesnt take that quick to bring a guy to the ground ),

  the players on the sidelines look like zombies

  fans dont cheer 24/7 you need to make it where if you get a touchdown or a big play is when they explode + the ps2 fans look more realistic

  IF YOU DON'T CHANGE ANY OF THESE THINGS I WILL NEVER BUY MADDEN AGAIN, INSTEAD I WILL CONTINUE PLAYING ESPN 2K5 (THE BEST FOOTBALL OUT THERE RIGHT NOW) PLEASE EA SPORTS THESE IDEAS WILL SELL TRILLIONS OF GAMES

• jmoney522 said May 07, 2009

  O AND U NEED REFEREES

• TMACAVELLI said May 15, 2009

  please make the crowd and sidelines more realistic.i would love to see the players warming up before the game too.you really have to make the players look authentic....the way each player really looks on the field.for example the way players have there jersey out of there pants or tighter than others.add more cleats,gloves and i wanna see hand warmers.oh yeah what ever happen to tattoos.you really need to change when players get hurt...make it more realistic,have trainers come on to the field.if the injury is even more serious have the medical cart come on to the field and cart the player off.i wanna see late hit out of bounds and players getting finds for it.also players getting into it after a play....at least an argument damn..and one more thing show coverage of the nfl draft .have players walk on stage and shake hands as they get their jersey a pictures taken.and in the pro bowl let the players wear the team that play for helmets.come ea is madden 2010.STEP YOUR GAME UP......................

• MrBlunt said May 27, 2009

  the guy who is standing up and showing us the rookie ratings looks like a dingaling.  please get him off the show he is embarrassing to madden gamers.  you know which guy i am talking about.  the guy who is swaying like it's windy in the building and saying things like, "another great pick guys".

  PLEASE MAKE INSTANT REPLAY MORE PRECISE!

  It ruin's the Game EXPERIENCE to have a call cleary should be called one way! and it goes the other.

  Instant replay shows his foot out of bounds and calls reception! ect. ect. ect.

• rayrickmond said June 13, 2009

  At times this is just not a game of skill !it is a game of the cpu taking over .

  i realize it is a very complex program but losing to somebody with no running game aND them hucking it up deep to moss or T O Makes me not want to play anymore!

  To PHONEY!
