Chain gang, refs, and hand towels ..... Oh my.  Good job EA in delivering some of the things the community has been asking about for a while.  I'm glad to see this in the game and I'm real excited about the things that the producers have been blogging about.  The emphasis on Sim gameplay is something that I know is going to be tough but I'm liking what I'm reading so far.

awesome....cannot wait for more info......if you think the premier league will come down to squad depth i'm afraid liverpool won't win, they are nothing without torres and gerrard. durk kuyt and n'gog dont cut it as back up strikers

Leyland said:

awesome they got the size of the names on the jerseys to look more like real life.

and those towels weve been wanting

and gatorade

and refs

and yard markers

and then...

prettyrik said:

Geez Unbreakable7 what do you want from EA? I could understand that they should look more like players on the field, but you want them to have awareness too lol. So they should catch thrown away balls by QB's. C'mon man be realistic. Keep up the good work EA. Just make sure the gameplay is tight everything else will come in due time. It's like having a banging *** girlfriend who has the IQ of 3 year old. It's nice to look at first but after the a while the looks won't keep you around in the long run.

WOW nothing else need be said......  CANT WAIT EA  CANT WAIT   .... any possibility u can get nfl to do the draft now so u can come out with 10 all ready... cuz after seeing this i cant wait

011235 said:

Uhm i do wonder though how much photoshop has gone into that flashy picture???

Since i am a gameplay person Peter, is the euphoria engine used in this game or we are still playing an animation based game?

Second: why can't you bloody use the same engine for a long waited rugby game? (since there are several cricket freaks, let me be a rugby nut)

Peter,

I have seen on the internet somewhere the platforms listed for Tiger Woods and the PC platform has been omitted.  Is the game not going to be on the PC this year?  Also, I noticed that the game is launching much earlier than usual.  It has normally been launching in September but in June/July this year.  I still hold out hope that the PC version will launch on the old date although the article doesn't talk about the PC Platform.  I will continue to press for info. on the games.

When are we going to see the new way of doing things on the PC platform?  I guess that the new EA strategy is to sit on the sidelines.  

www.gamespot.com/.../news.html

I want to get excited about NCAA 10 but please tell me that windsocks aren't the biggest news for this title.

The NCAA development pages are dead at the moment so I question how much user input was actually taken into consideration when developing this game.  

I seem to recall the EA CEO stating the reason that EA lost money was because they didn't make great games.  The Peter Moore solution seems to be to make windsocks the great new feature or NCAA 08 part 3 as I refer to it.  

I seem to recall the EA CEO also stressing the need to concentrate on the Wii platform.  I guess that the Peter Moore solution would be to cancel NCAA football for the Wii.  

The good news from both of these stories is that Peter Moore should be on his way out the door thanks to these brilliant strategies.  Maybe EA Sports can hire somebody who can communicate with users about the status of games instead of ignoring user's requests for information.

whoop dee do

prettyrik said:

The game looks real good alot of attention to detail has been taken into consideration. Hopefully the same amout of attention if not even more was put towards gameplay and the little things to make the play as realistic as it could possibly play. The sideline players from the from this view do seem to look alot better. Refs on the field and hand towels are a nice touch. Will their be chaing gangs? Keep up the good work EA. Hopefully you guys will announce that you will bring back "Fair Play" for next gen during online play it's really need.

Unbreakable7 said:

Past what everybody has already noticed, it looks like the players on the sideline still have no awarness whatsoever. When will they finally upgarde, in any small way, the sideline graphics, animation, or ANYTHING!

warrior310 said:

I HAVE NO WORDS AMAZING IMAGE !!!!!!!

warrior310 said:

now could you guys add the schutt ion 4d,air xp,and riddell speed helmets

SEE THESE HELMETS AT SCHUTTSPORTS.COM AND RIDDELL.COM

lttofan said:

Hey EA that photo is frikkin' amazing buti was wondering if you could add the larry fitzgerald circus catch from the cardinals falcons game so it can happen in madden 10

SteelersOwn43 said:

AND BTW I THINK FIGHT FOR EVERY YARD DEFINETLY FIT MARSHAWN LYNCH

Mr FoReNziKs said:

Looks Good EA

Timmy458 said:

I hope EA puts more depth in the Franchise and Superstar modes for the PS3 and Xbox 360 since those modes have really been downgraded from the PS2 and Xbox versions. And if they do that I will seriously think about buying this game.

x614x XxREPZxX said:

Colored spats? colored cleats? what about the new helmets? like chris cooleys?

BM26 said:

Wow... I bet even if this was a post about madden 10's cover athlete someone would still bring up a completely irrelevant issue.

"Hey look at this picture of Madden 10's graphics!"

"Well, looking at this all I can say is I hope they fix franchise mode..."

Honestly.

But hey, Phil did say that the team is making progress a lot faster than before so look forward to improvements in key areas ALREADY in the game.

SeijiTheShogun said:

I agree with Unbreakable7, couldn't the dev team at least include some animations? Like them cheering me on when I'm running up the sidelines?

Jiggawat215 said:

I hope the finished product includes sideline players showing awareness of whats going on..and custom socks even though that may be against the nfl uniform dress code...

Jiggawat215 said:

I hope they include custom socks for players also

BillTheMac said:

The screen shot looks AWESOME! Good job EA!

I noticed, Refs, player towels, chain gang, more people on the sideline (maybe?), Gatorade buckets on the sideline, Players look built better to their size. Did I see rebok shoes on one of the players?

I know its still early in development. But, the grass doesnt really look quite right when the players are standing on it. Maybe, that can be touched up a little bit?

Anyways, thanks for the update.

Jumpman5495 said:

Wow! that amazing! the blocking that # 78 is doing is real in 09 they would go right past him and are the REFS actually going to be on the Field?

keep it up EA its AMAZING

alexsherry23 said:

Peter Moore, if Madden 10, is as good as you're making it look, my August is going to be the best month of Summer! Wow, looks better then anything I've ever seen. Keep working hard

Jumpman5495 said:

Marion Barber should be on the cover of Madden 10!   he fights for every yard look at his highlights!

GO COWBOYS!

ZFarls said:

Handsome looking screen, I like the contrast in size between big ben and enormous Max Starks! Hopefully the speedy DE's with 88 speed (colts) will be slowed by these cornerstone tackles. To find out what I believe fight for every yard will mean check out maddenbible.com

Admiral_tow said:

Screen looks very good.

If there will be a Pc Version, i'm very happy with that, if not, all the news are worthless for me.

alexsherry23 said:

How bout, if you have have bought the game for 10 years in a row or more, you get the game a month early?

NELL86 said:

I hope they bring the team of madden and al michaels back for commentary

SteelersOwn43 said:

Great screenshot. But again dont put any steelers on the cover

lttofan said:

Larry fitzgerald should definitely be cover boy

jellybean3454 said:

MAN THAT LOOK WEAK THEY STILL LOOK LIKE ROBOTS AND STEELERS DONT EVEN WHERE THAT KIND OF CLEATS THEIR CLEATS SUPPOSE TO BE YELLOW N WHITE

AND ON THE QB TOWEL IT HAS A MADDEN LOGO THAT LOOKS GAY JUST HAVE THE TOWEL PLAIN IT LOOK LIKE HE DONT HAVE A RIB PROTECTOR ON EITHER

AND MAKE SURE YOU PUT THAT POUCH QBS HAVE WHEN ITS COLD AND MAKE SURE WHEN WE PLAY NIGHT GAMES IT DONT LOOK FAKE, AND ADD THE CUT SLEEVES BRADY WHERE

AND THE GRAPHICS STILL LOOK THE SAME AND ADD MORE EQUIPMENT AND LET US CHOOSE THE WEATHER WE WANNA PLAY IN AND THE TEMPERATURE WE WANT IT TO BE

A D TR2 said:

this should definitely be our yr Madden team! Lets go all out for real! RIDE or DIE!!!!!!!!!

x614x XxREPZxX said:

players seem smaller, swin move looks realistic, shiny helmets, hand towels, refs, chains, QB actually hold the ball at the right spot, 2 hands on the ball when dropping back. I would be disapointed if it was M.Barber very much so. Why not a defensive player? havent had one since Ray Ray. I think that Fitz will be on the cover. BUT with the theme of fight for every yard I say Brandon Jacobs or Michael Turner

dwill0433 said:

This is a nice shot of Madden 10

As far as the coaches on the sideline can they please be the real coaches. It amazed me that you can only see the actual head coach on Madden 09 when you challenge a play. When calling time outs EA should steal some ideas of NBA 2k9 w/ the changes during the timeout and the players and coaches interacting. Can the sideline PLEASE become more detailed. In the actual games players are talking amongst each other, using oxygen tanks, and sitting on the bench. Convert all the deep features of Nfl Head Coach 09 into Madden 10 franchise mode. Live up to your motto, "If its in the game its in the game" PLEEAASSEE

x614x XxREPZxX said:

ONLINE FRANCHISE MODE! ! ! ! PLEASE DO IT. . . . MAKE THE GAME MORE FUN

ThelionNme said:

Everyone pretty much covered what you can see one thing that i noticed is that if this is a gameplay image it is a darker image i guess to go towards the realism of gameplay which is a pretty good touch but i havent commented on any of the updates but i would like if they add the fair play while playing online cuz its ridiculous on there and make the QB sneak needs to be more realistic period. and make the passing more realistic is it me or do these LB's and DB's can jump 5' well thats my comments for this week well hold up that momentum better be fixed cuz im not seeing chris johnson running through anybody maybe make him more elusive vise versa with power backs they can stiff are and run through you but not juke anybody you know just my thoughts

Xception164 said:

How about on LaBoy, you need to do what Betrand Berry does and always have one arm free to slash the football away. Also, PLEASE BRING BACK JUMPING THE SNAP COUNT!!!

Azcardinal32 said:

I'm gonna go ahead and say there is alot of PHOTOSHOP done in this.  There always is in the first screens released.  Look at last years first screens released and tell me that while you were playing 09 it looked as good as it did in the screen.

Myles Daniels said:

players on the sideline are actually real players

southernmissfan2 said:

i like the ncaa game and the windsocks is a ok i guess but i love custom conferences and i dont like wii's anyway so im not hurt by no more ncaa for wii

Joshman870 said:

That pic is really awesome, I hope next year they can make the aqbility to lower or raise the sock levels and create wedges on kickoff returns

Joborule said:

Refs and chain gangs. The most requested feature for Next gen next to QB hand towels. All finally back in the game.

As for the cover athlete, I think we're looking at him already...

JSmithDK said:

Everyone is complaining about thisgs such as the players not looking like theyre standidng on the grass. Last time i checked, THIS IS THE 1ST SCREEN!! calm down, the game is still 5 months away. EA cant possibly address every problem now. Im sure they know what they need to upgrade, so let them do it. On the other hand, I like the towels, refs on the field, and the chain gang/field markers. Hopefully, the refs can have AI so they can hit one of the players. I believe that happened in one of those college games this year.

Eli Suks said:

Really nice job EA. This is looking really good.  ONe thing i would like to see is more gloves and a New postion....Long Snapper! They need their own position.  About the gloves, in Madden you have Black, White, and Team Color. What About alternate colors. Randy Moss is on the Pats and he has orange gloves. Give us the option to pick the color of the gloves (ex. Black, White, Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple, etc.).

clwalton21 said:

this screen shot looks great! dont have much to suggest but the pouches in cold weather and rib potectors maybe. The defensive line should have their head turned towards the qb(thats awareness).Im not big on all the details but that pocket starting to look better.i notice that arm piece that starks has on is new,hand towels,refs,chain gang,looks like more coaches on the sideline,ben has one glove on and one off,different body types,reebok logos,shiny helmets,,no hands going through the ball or the players,new handwrap,realistic name tags,gatorade,and the really small team name on the cardinals jersey

TreyIM2 said:

Sorry, Peter, for the profanity I'm about to drop but this goes out to the complainers - WHAT THE  IS WRONG WITH ALL YOU SPOILED  BITCHES AND ALL YOUR  WHINING???

EA is doing a GREAT job, improving this game year to year and you bratty *** bitches get up here and cry like the little *** babies that you are instead of giving praise to the improvements. I hate small minded fucks like you. Such a poison to the internet....

Ahem, again, my apologies but I just get so irritated by people who are unappreciative of anything. That pic is literally worth a thousand words, to me. Looks even better graphically, the yard markers, refs, Gatorade coolers and even player towels are included for this year's Madden. Everytime something new about Madden comes out, I end up playing Madden 09, again, which I would normally be done with at this time of the year. Kudos and keep up the great work and, Pete, I'm really glad EA acquired your services because it seems that you're the fire under EA's but that EA really needed.  

Valdarez said:

Push the boundaries?  Seriously.  You still haven't caught up to ESPN NFL2K5.  How about catch up to your competitor and then you can start talking about pushing the boundaries.  APF2K8, a quick port, remains a realistic representation of football than the current revision of Madden.  

Obviously the biggest change in that picture is referees.  Something that was in NFL2K5, half a decade ago.  My guess this is one of the primary reasons for the directional awareness?  The refs are actually going to be watching the ball and the players?

daveb81 said:

50 something comments and no-one has mentioned cricket yet...............a new record!

LandoKiwi5 said:

I kind of have to agree with Trey.

The game looks absolutely brilliant if one likes the Madden franchise, but the complainers need to go.

Socks, towels, cleats, O2 tanks, gloves, Gatorade!?  What does that bring to the gameplay?

What a bunch of spoiled whiners!  Always wanting more.

Yes, one can say "if the motto is 'It's in the game', everything should be in the game".

But what about that couple that is season ticket holders in Green Bay that always sit on the 50 five rows up?  I don't think I've ever seen them in an EA game, but they are in the game in Green Bay.

See how rediculous we can make the whiners arguments?

You all need to relax.

bigcisdatruth@yahoo.com said:

all i can say is wow. i think i saw a new pear of cleats on one of the linemen. i have some superstar suggestions that i really think are possible and can be spread throughout the game.(gauntlet, vertical jump, and others maybe). if i see the hand warmers and phanny packs im gonna freak. you guy are incredible. im lovin the suspense. keep it up ea.

swillz13 said:

it looks great can't wait till it comes out

KingKevins said:

um for madden 2010  i want to see mascots not foolish ones in ncaa but mascots                        

i want to be able to play superstar mode with an real superstar and continue there career example ed reed

i want cheerleaders

i want players on the sidelines to look real

one small thing i like about 09 is how when u look into the stands u see cameras and lights

i also want to see individual team styles

clwalton21 said:

i suggest adrian peterson,big ben,sproles,michael turner,or larry fitzgerald cover athlete

davidh86 said:

i just can't wait for madden 10! i love madden 09 but this is just gonna blow that away. just a couple of things i hope they do. anything else will be a bonus.

just hope they sort out the EA servers, not very reliable and PLEASE put the create a playbook back in, don't understand why it was taken out, these are next gen consoles surely they can support all these new features and a create a playbook, especially as the ps3 blu-ray discs can store up to 50GB of memory!

also i totaly agree with the comment left by 011235, why can't ea make a rugby game with the engine used for madden?

RedCerealBox said:

well the screens look good, and i swear if u put jump the snap i will NOT buy this game thats the most cheapest thing, and if your looking for a cover guy my vote goes for ADRIAN PETERSON cause hes the best RB and if the theme is fight for every yard then its well deserved he dosent go down from the first hit

Vintage-TCM said:

Wow, that looks amazing, although his arm seems a bit weird, like it's abnormally skinny.  But that could just be the angle the shot's in.  

Any info on Wii Madden NFL 10?  09 was fun, but it just seemed to be a GCN 08 version with different controls, and the other modes seemed even inferior to the GCN 08 version.  Please improve the Wii version as much as the system can handle, I know it can be much better.

clwalton21 said:

havent played 09 since the 2nd update,its like old news to me because im so excited about madden 10! i cant pull myself to play it;all the new features blow last years away already.THX EA! this means a lot to me.direct contact with the gamers is the best idea you guys have ever had.Im reserving my copy and picking it up at midnight.on that note,i will not be going to work on the AUG 18th

QuikBong said:

EUPHORIA ENGINE PLEASE!!!!  I heard it will be used for madden 2012 I wish that was changed to this year although I understand thats impossible because the game is already under development.  I watched the backbreaker videos from 2007 and the tackling and animations look amazing.  I've always loved madden over 2k football because I enjoy the overall gameplay of Madden even though 2k had better animations back then.  These backbreaker videos however show technology that was available in 2007 and I wish it had been picked up for this years edition of Madden.  Oh well I will still thoroughly enjoy Madden 10 and hopefully this engine can be used for Madden 11.  Check out youtube for the Backbreaker videos to see what I'm talking about.  I referenced it after reading a post from last week and I guarantee you'll be impressed.

QuikBong said:

To a previous comment about using the wedge for KR/PR I beleive this year the NFL is not allowing teams to do this anymore due to injuries.  There are a lot of iffy rule changes coming up to protect players and this is one of them.  Not sure if its officially been ruled illegal but I heard on Serious NFL radio it was not going to be allowed next season.

XxGxX AwEs0mO said:

Michael Turner fought for every yard. Put him on the cover.

CAMREN630 said:

oh yeah keep up the hard work ea

iM ViCK said:

That pic is amazing cant wait for this game...

God job EA for everything your doing...

And Fight for every yard fits Michael Turner the best in my opinion...

Black Mamba205 said:

Gotta point out something... if there is hand warmers, they definitely wuoldn't be in this pic. Remember the Super Bowl was in Miami. Just keep that in mind. Good job on gettting what a lot of people have been asking for (I wasn't one of the people clamoring for towels but hey it'll make some people happy) andI hope to see more good work. Oh and jellybean, that's the same NFL logo they use on gloves that's on the towel. I don't know what it says under it,  maybe madden, but its not like you can read it in this pic.

Rockstarrel said:

PLEASE ADD A BETTER COMBINE FOR CREATE A PLAYER AND SUPERSTAR MODE JUST ADD SOME NEW DRILLS. I HATE IT WHEN I CREATE A HARD HITTING SAFTY AND THE DRILL IM PERFORMING IS COVERING THE TEAMS BEST RECIEVER HOW ABOUT LET A HARD HITTING SAFTY DO TACKLING DRILLS AND A FREE SAFTY PLAY COVERAGE ON DEEP ROUTES WITHOUT CORNERBACKS NOW THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING FUN TO DO

Black Mamba205 said:

Oh and I agree with putting Michael Turner on the front cover if you go with an offensive player. Or you can put someone like Patrick Willis if you go defensive. Or you can put them both about to collide (like you're doing with the fight night round 4 cover with Ali and Tyson) and have the Fight for Every Yard subtitle under Madden 10 kinda like Race for the Heisman was after NCAA 06 or chase for the Cup in NASCAR. Just a thought.

smokey0318 said:

Its got the super bowl logo on the jerserys and on the sidelines I see the teams colors and names also finally the refree. Plus you guys add the towel like we said and keep up the good work i cant wait for the game.

SLAVEMASTER14 said:

First off I would like to thank EA for giving us this wonderful experience being apart of the growth of Madden 10. It's like being able to watch your son from conception all the way to birth with vivid pictures and updates instead of crappy ultrasounds, thank you EA for letting us not only see the development but also chime in and make the game even better. Now about the pic it self, great job with the towels and looks like the blocking is better detailed as well as the refs and chain gang and having the QB actually standing in the pocket is nice. On the topic about the cover boy it's with great respect I have for the EA crew I say if Drew Brees is on the cover of Madden 10 then something is wrong. Drew Brees is the perfect cover boy for Madden 10, not only coming off almost the best passing year of a QB but having  been an ambassador for the game by visiting the troops over in Iraq and all the work he has done in New Orleans. I know most people want Big Ben or Kurt Warner or somebody but Drew Brees has done more not only as a football player but as a person. So once again thanks a lot EA for your generosity and keep up the the good work.

Fudge18 said:

    This is a bit "picky" but are the players on the sidelines going to be active in madden 10 or are they just going to be holo-graphics so to speak that when players from the field run out of bonuds they go through the guys on the sidelines. The players on the sidelines, well actually no one on the sidelines seems to be following the action on the field they just stand there and clap timidly. I want the sidelines to be live and part of the game. When I say i want the sidelines to be live, it means that tierd players who jus left are getting a drink or getting oxygen and when there is a big hit or a nice juke by the RB i want the guys on the sidelines to react to that . Also when a player from the field runs out of bounds at the guys on the sidelines I want both of them to react to eachother, like the guys on the sidelines are trying to stop the player from the field from falling or getting out of his way. I hoped that in madden 09 this would be fixed but I was disappointed.

     Also some "superpower" animations have to be fixed like the WR speedburst and when a DB is in air with a WR but the WR makes the catch and some how the DB gets levrage and lands a big hit while in air! The infamous beastmode also has to fixed, I know Matt Ryan is a well known QB and I also know that he cannot run 98yards for a TD right through the middle of the defense, this happens with a lot of different players. There's also the doublejump, when you begin a hurdle too early and you are about to land and the defensive player goes for a low tackle somehow the guy who hurdled thrusts back up into the air and goes over the defender! Also when the ball is thrown slightly in the opposite direction to the reciever. The ball is now not catchable by the reciever but somehow he is able to jump the way the ball is thrown and make the catch! That is a mini list of the bad physics in the game. I am a big physics fanatic I guess, so please fix these issues and please minimize the amount of bad physics to an absolute minimum.

       Now this is sort of a personal request can you please add the animation where Troy Polamalu made the incredible one handed interception against the Chargers  on Nov, 16, 2008. When the ball was nearly on the ground but he was able to make the interception by sort of scooping the ball one handed (with his fingers) then he also managed to gain some yards. That was just amazing it would be so amazing if in madden 10 DBs or WRs were able to sort of replicate that interception(catch).

      The screenshot looks great minus the blur effect but when can we expect a madden 10 video?

ronnymund said:

Kudos to Peter, Ian, and the rest of the Madden development team.  Over the past couple of years I have been one the harshest critics on Mr. Moore's blog.  I was under the impression that the devloment teams at Ea Sports had maxed out their next generation gaming potential and that the resulting games wwere less then stellar.  I must say that Ian and company are trully bringing "it" with Madden 10 and I cannot wait for it to hit the store shelves.  The weekly Madden updates have not only shown the subtle improvments that will make Madden 10 more realistic then ever before, but have also given the gamers a voice to interact with the development teams.  I asked for towels on the players uniform options for 3 years now and i'm so elated to actually see the towels on the player models this year.  I know the old addage beggars cannot be choosers, but hopefully along with the addition of towels, we will also see tighter game play, various cleat brands, more palming animations, unbuckled chin straps on one side of the helmet, high/low sock options, and carrying the football with two hands on the ball as the players matriculate through defenders.  Once again Kudos on a great job to this point, hopefully the NCAA Football development team will get on the ball soon and implement many of the apsects we now see in Madden 10.

                 -THIS GOES OUT TO BLACK MAMBA205 AND TREYIM2-

I DONT KNOW WHY YA'LL ACTING LIKE MADDEN JUST NEVER MESS STUFF UP AND YOU SAY IM WHINNING WELL GO LOOK AT ALL THEM 200 OR 300 COMMENTS PEOPLE TOLD THEM WHEN THE STARTED GIVING INFO ON MADDEN 10 AND I PROMISE YOU I KNOW I WASNT THE ONLY ONE WHO BELIEVE THAT YOU MIGHT EVEN PROBABLY BELIEVE IT TO SO DONT BE FRONTING, AND IF MADDEN TRASH THIS YEAR I WONDER WHAT YA'LL HAVE TO SAY BCUZ I KNOW IM TIRED OF SPENDING MY 65 DOLLARS ON SOME JUNK BCUZ THEY ALWAYS TAKE STUFF OUT THAT DOESNT NEED TO BE TAKEN OUT AND WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR TO PUT SOMETHING IN THEY ALREADY KNOW SHOULD BE IN.

    YA'LL JUST TAKE ANY THING THEY GIVE YA'LL AND THE GRAPHICS SURE DO LOOK THE SAME LIKE STUPID ROBOTS NEXT TIME TO THE BOTH OF YOU IF YOU HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING BOUT MY COMMENTS MAKE SURE IM BEING WRONG ARE MENTIONING STUPID STUFF

swfanboy said:

show me something besides a useless screenshot it wont even be a part of the game itll be the same ol mini movie at the beginning of the game like always but itll never be put in the actual game so its really just a waste of effort put that time wasted into making the game better not prettier

CAMREN630 said:

i hate people who always have something to say if you guys dont like presentation thats fine but dont get on the ones that do its not all about the gameplay i mean it comes first but presentation is apart of the nfl in it wasnt then teams would not have logos just plain helmets for everyone then ok bet you guys would love that.to the fool who asked what does towels and gatorade have to do with gameplay.nothing but it has everything to do with the nfl cause all these things are seen on sunday and thats what i want and thats what ea promised and for my 65 dollars i need the whole thing gameplay and presentation.

x614x XxREPZxX said:

Sorry but I have to Call AggieFan4Life out. . . I see where you're comming from with them keeping information away from the public about any game. But if they had everything done right now and were like "Hey guys lets show you everything"people wouldn't log on next week to see, people would STILL critisize every little thing. The thing is they want your suspense and want you to get excited about the game. . .

EA you know how if a player makes a sack, INT,fumble, TD, Long run/pass. The sideline players & Coach would jump up and run with him or go crazy or all of that. You should add that in. HOPEFULLY there will be shoe colors this year, ankle tape should have more than black and white. The White and Black "Bulky"ankle tape seems so fake too big looks like a cast.

Also for a QB sneak the QB NEVER (in NFL) gets straight up and runs full speed, he normally just dives or kinda falls foreward its getting kind-of annoying seeing Vince Young on a planned QB sneak sprint 3 or 4 yards.

LOVE THE HITSTICK (Still) maybe some more animation would be nice, 2 players hitting 1 guy High/Low. Helmets comming off, Jerseys geting un-tucked. would be great. Just watch ONE NFL game and throw that stuff in don't throw all the cheesy DAVID TYREE like catches in because that will only happen ONCE. ONLINE FRANCHIS , ONLINE FRANCHISE, ONLINE FRANCHISE, ONLINE FRANCHISE, ONLINE FRANCHISE. . . That would make it 11/10 game to me I used to play college all the time ONLY the Online Dynasty but I LOVE NFL, ONLINE FRANCHISE SHOULD BE IN MADDEN 10

JB0B0 said:

Looks good, but still some areas of improvement I can see. The players on the sideline still look fake. In NFL Head Coach, the sideline players look as good as the onfield players. Can we please do this in Madden too? Also, Big Ben is too small. You guys need to make him a little bigger. otherwise, great job, keep up the good work.

wsadavis said:

To Peter Moore,

Okay, screenshot looks good and the blogs on improvements are great. HOWEVER, will you please state whether Madden 10 will be released on the PC or not. You have been hinting at the fact that main ea sports titles will come back but haven't truly answered the question. Same goes with Tiger Woods 10. The game is supposed to be released in June but there is still no word on a release for PC.

I just don't want to be reading these blogs and get high hopes only to be told that PC is going to be skipped once again because of business issues.

Thanks,

Davis

CAMREN630 said:

jbobo thank you the sideline players still look fake and i hope this is not how they will be come august i mean im still buying this game but i would like to see the real men on the sidelines and i think ea will deliver

EA the game looks great. Keep up the good work. Lets hope the gameplay works with graphics and game itself.I see some great improvements such as the chain-gang, refs, even towels. It would be nice to add some under armour, addidas, even some of the new jordan style cleats would be good. Also this year ould you give the game a depth anouncing duo, and a real like sunday football game. You know with the fox nfl crew giving there thoughts and opinions on the game, along with their pre-game,halftime, and postgame show. That would definetly give the game a real life sim of a sunday afternoon gridiron game. Even some realistic injuries and reports in the game. In all of the newer versions i've played of madden, why is it that a player has a serious injury, he walks off the field himself wit no assistane. If a player was to break his leg, he should be carted off the field like the pros, instead of limping it off himself. I ask that you please fix that. As of now the game loos beautiful, and i hope it keeps aking strides forwords and not back. Keep up the good, and hard work. I Think madden fans are going to like this game this oming football season.

One thing that is a small detail that would go a long way for me is if you could choose one glove like Big Ben wears, or an option for your player to wear sleeves only when it's cold. It was in NCAA Football in 2004 on PS2, and it's cool. The more customizable options there are, the better.

JRySteelers43 said:

OMG THEY STAND UP STRAIGHT!!

Hey-You-There- said:

HERES SOME MINOR IDEAS THAT WILL MAKE THE GAME MORE DETAILED

1)BRING BACK THE APARTMENT ON SUPERSTAR MODE

2) THE PLAYER SHOULD BE IN HOUSES OR APARTMENTS DEPENDING ON THEIR CONTRACT

3) WHEN U MAKE A STADIUM PLZ ALLOW US TO MAKE LUXURY BOXES ALL AROUND THE STADIUM AND BE ABLE TO CHOOSE HOW MANY LEVELS.

4)ALLOW US TO CHOOSE THE KIND OF LUXURY SUITES, PRESS,OUTDOOR, CLUB,OR SEATS.

I JUST SAW THAT PIC UP THERE IT DIDINT' LOOK LIKE U USED TEXTURERS FOR THE SUITES BUT STILL CAN U JUST MAKE THE SUITES CLEAR TO A POINT WHERE U CAN SEE PEOPLE THATS THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE GRAPHICS.

5) IT SORTA LOOKS FAKE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE FOOD STANDS LIKE I SEE IN NHL OR NBA LIVE, ALSO PEOPLE SHOULD BE WALKING AROUND THE STADIUM LIKE THEY ARE HETING SOMETHING TO EAT OR THE BATHROOM,

6) fix the bears stadium it looks unreal.

7) i cant stress this enougth STOP using textures for luxery suites just make them clear and make sure its really detailed on the inside.

8) WHY no WR reverses or RB/WR throws i miss them.

these are things to make the already good graphics way better PLEASE READ

i just downloaded nba 2k9 demo the suites they used have no textures DO WHAT THEY DID BUT WITH PEOPLE AND SEATS IN THE LUXERY BOX.

jmac11qb said:

incredible screen shot. madden 10 is going to look amazing. thanks for this glimpse EA. just one thing to point out that ive noticed on all football video games..

Most quarterbacks (me included) have at least their ring finger on the back lace.  i cant completely tell for sure but it looks like big ben still has all his fingers behind the laces.

youngmeech said:

thats a heck of a first screen shot, only problem i have is with the cleats, im hopin ea throws in nike, reebok, under armour and adidas cleats instead of just the reebok models, im not sure if anyone wears those cleats anymore ha ha also reebok rnt the only cleats players wear in the nfl

youngmeech said:

when i hear fight for every yard the first player i think of is adrian peterson

THANK YOU SWEET JESUS!  FINALLY EA!  REFS & CHAINGANGS!  FINALLY AFTER 5 YEARS!  NOW I CAN FINALLY FEEL LIKE I'M PLAYING A TRUE NFL SIM!  I THINK I'M TEARING UP!

WARRIOR CHILL WITH THE HELMET TALK WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE HELMETSIN A GAME OR BETTER GAMEPLAY EVERY 3 POSTS YOU PUT SOMETHING ABOUT HELMETS ITS REALLY NOT THAT SERIOUS THE HELMETS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM

BillTheMac said:

The graphics look great and thanks for the screen shot.

Here is something I think Madden should add in 2010. Size and strength.

-Size vs. Strength: I hate seeing a 189lb Half-Back truck stick a 324lb lineman like a rag doll. This is not realistic. A Half-Back thats small cannot run over a big lineman like nothing. A linemen that size would take him down easily. And vice versa. Lets say Brandon Jacobs is running with the ball. A smaller CB or Safety would have trouble taking him down cause of his size.

Another thing that can go along with that. Is players reflecting off each other. Picture a linebacker and the ball carrier running at full speed. The linebacker is getting ready to hit the ball carrier. The ball carrier lowers his head and shoulders and smacks into the linebacker. The ball carrier is going to loose his; balance, footing, speed, and refelect off of him. Then, the ball carrier would half to regain his balance and and try to gain more yards. If he wasnt tackled.

Because, stuff like that does not happen in 09. In 09.. If I truck stick some one I just run through them in the same direction. That shouldnt be happening.

BillTheMac said:

Here is a small example of what I'm talking about from my post above.

GmanSpeaks said:

make sure they put the eyeblack/nose strip in the game as well as add the 2nd team color for gloves wristbands sleeves arm sleeves... the Broncos wear orange gloves, the Giants wear red gloves (sometimes sleeves) for their road jerseys/ Red Home Jereys, Chargers need Powder Blue for their powder blues...

Mortspear said:

Are you serious? Who fights for every yard better than the man who broke 5,000 yards!?! DREW BREES FOR MADDEN COVER!

LandoKiwi5 said:

Ok, just so I understand the guys offering up all the "constructive criticism" about gloves, socks, chin straps, etc ad nausem.

The game looks awesome, but there is still no pleasing you.

I guess something can always be found to complain about.

Mr. Moore and the rest of the development team....good luck with these guys...

No matter what EA does, it still won't be enough.

Godfather 1225 said:

I think the screen shot looks great, graphics are slightly improved and its good to see handtowels and refs in the game, one thing i noticed though is that the ball looks oversized, either that or players hands in the game are ridiculously small, plus his hands aren't on the laces, i dont know of many QBs that throw without holding the laces, and a quick question, are you getting rid of the shoulder pad glitch from last year, where players look like they are playing blitz rather than madden?

just some minor details but keep up the good work EA

aggiefan4life said:

I see that I got called out so let me respond.  

The community days for the games are supposed to show off the new games and get gamers excited for the new game.  I have seen nothing that really excites me about NCAA10.  EA Sports has a long way to go before I am wowed.  I have seen very few ideas implemented that have come from the developer's forums so I question whether EA Sports is truly listening.  There have been very few new topics posted in recent memory and the responses from the Development Team are getting fewer.  

If the objective of EA Sports is to make great games then EA Sports will come up well short with NCAA10 based upon what I have seen so far.  The CEO of EA has stated that this is why they failed to do good financially.  

adembroski said:

Jumpman5495- Most people beg for their favorite players NOT to be on the Madden cover! I'm scared as hell that it's gonna be Larry Fitzgerald *plz no plz no plz no plz no*

Anyways, thanks Mr. Moore, always appreciate your reaching out like this. The screen shot looks amazing. I think Madden's heading back down the right road.

Now.. about bringing Head Coach to PC;) I'm tellin' you, small tweaks, fix the few bugs, making a digital download on the website... we'll take care of your marketing:P

When are we gonna get out first FIFA 10 screen??

pauljonesiii@yahoo.com said:

Lovin that screen picture awesome....

There are alot of things that EA should add to Madden 10,

1. New plays. From 09, alot of the plays were so original. Allow for some creativity and please put the wildcat formation on here.

2. The tackles have to look so much better... Make it interesting have a variety of motions.

3. Maybe a more dramatic injured effect instead of athletes just laying on the ground when injured, have a point were they must be either carted off or looked at by physicians.

4. Please get some different announcers... Have Madden and I think Al Michaels but have more... and also allow for the games to be placed on different "stations": NBC and CBS. And the music that they have for football on these channels.

5. Allow for review of plays to occur during the game like if a players feet were in zoom in and show that they were.

6. Last one,  on NBC I think they have alot of tools they use to calculate things maybe add those.

This maybe be too much but at least take into consideration some things....

PGO Bearzfa said:

sick screenshot i like the what ive seen so far but plz make it so the wide recievers canf ight for a catch instead of just letting the defense intercept the ball

Bubstarr said:

Peter I thank you for this unprecedented early screenshot of Madden 10. There has been some significant improvements to detail and it does look fantastic. However, is there a contractual issue with Reebok pertaining to the use of other brand footwear that we see the players wearing on Sundays. At the very least could you please afford us to use the player editing mode for the correct footwear products.Thank you.

clwalton21 said:

you guys have to have the pash rushers looking at the qb and/or the backfield.nobody looks off into space while pass rushing.just being honest

BigLamb said:

You can make all the graphics adjustments you want and its great, but I will save the 'woohoo' when some real in game changes have been made =)

Anton B said:

I love this screen shot, look at the names on the jerseys dat is more of what we as madden fans look for the details in the players, maybe more of the face paint, and the reciever gloves in more details. I cant wait for this to come out.  I would like to see more penalties involved instead of the same two that are called thru out the game, also what about the Line jude and the refs on both sides of the ball?  can you make it more like real life?

JaYaBeAsT99 said:

The screenshot is amazing. The only thing the game needs is a little more for those who buy both NCAA and Madden.

PS. and nike and other brand equipment

BlacHaze84 said:

To BillTheMac,

 I am very familiar with Gideon Prime's many Madden-bashing videos. And to an extent, he has a point. But contrary to popular belief, Brandon Jacobs is not hard to take down. In fact, he trucks people because he falls foward onto them. If you go for his legs, then his upper body strenght is useless. Marshawn Lynch, Marion Barber, Steven Jackson, these guys can be wrapped up and in a second get right back out. Did you see Barber break 9 Patriot tackles in his OWN endzone!?! And we're talking +300 pound linemen wrapping him up!! So it's not always about weight.

BTW, ESPN took a defensive players poll in last year's August issue on who's the top 5 hardest runners to take down in the NFL. Brandon Jacobs did not make the list.

BlacHaze84 said:

Correction, It was the September issue with Mario Williams on the cover. ESPN wrote an article on Marion Barber because he is the league's consensus pick on the toughest and hardest runner to tackle. If anything, Madden should give Barber a 100 in trucking or break tackle.

TheSteelest said:

I'm loving the graphics! The above screen shot looks great, but I would like to see the defensive linemen (and the DBacks) heads to swivel so that they are focused on the QB.  The above screen shot looks pretty realistic, until you see that linemen looking straigt in the direction they're going... I'd also like to see some cheerleaders in the mix!  Also, bring back John & Al... they're the best at their trade and no one else should be on Madden... thanks for your time!

G1 sam said:

Michael Turner should totally be on the cover,i mean fight for every yard reminds me of that run,where he had this guy hanging all over him but he still had his legs pumping and he ran for a huge gain! ^.^

BlacHaze84 said:

People complain too much. Good job, EA. Hopefully the  attributes will mean something next year...(see youtube video "Teddy No Ankles)

NextGenGamer24 said:

Wow Peter,good job.All the improvements are gonna make Madden 10 really good.But the graphics dont look much different than Madden 09.The side-lines still look the same.Maybe its just that one screen-shot,but good job EA!

MaddMaxxxx43 said:

When will we see a historic room on the EA servers where we can play with the old teams online and also will they have the old teams back like the PS2 version where you can play with the old teams offline with there names and officals numbers the same goes fro the online mode.

TheSteelest said:

First and foremost: Bring back Al Michaels and John Madden!  The rest of my suggestions are feasible, please consider them.  I'd like to see some cheerleaders when my team gets a first down or scores a TD... I want to see the guys on the sidelines jump up and down in excitement when I'm running back an INT or when I'm taking a deep pass to the house... I want the stretcher to come out when I've taken out a player on the opposing team... (and players should gather around on one knee and pray while this is happening)... Since you've got Gatorade, can we get the players to dump it on the coach after a significant victory?  The WildCat has to be available... If you can, add the amazing Tyree catch to the animations...  I know this is a long shot, but could you add cutscenes that show the crazy RAIDER fans in the BLACK HOLE - make up and all? The Hogettes (cross dressing lady pigs for the Redskins), Fireman Ed.. The Dog Pund in Cleveland... you get the picture... Keep up the great work - I'm a loyal fan!

x614x XxREPZxX said:

Hey what about in NFL when they show the starters on the screen when they like roll by at the end. Kind-Of like a score ticker but with players w/ their pictures. This year with there be Half Time shows/highlights. Also like a Sports Center top 10 or end of the franchise week highlight shows throughout the week. Better gang tackling or the ball carriers bouncing off of defensive players and the player actually SLOWS down not just keep running at the same speed. people pulling jerseys or helmets off. more 1 handed catches (verieties) better diving catches. Multiple penalties on 1 play say i get a holdin penalty then I get facemasked for 15 they only call the 1st one.

BRING BACK WR REVERSES, RB TOSS WR REVERSE, DOUBLE WR REVERS, WR REVERSE PASS,

Black Mamba205 said:

Bubstarr, I'm going to guess there is because all of those players who wear nikes and what ever actually get fined by the league. You just don't hear about it really. Kinda like how its a fine to throw the ball in the crowd, but when someone does it you never hear about the fine.

Black Mamba205 said:

To the people that are asking for better injusry animations, I remember reading somewhere that the NFL told EA (after they got the exclusive license) not to have realistic or serious looking injuries because they didn't want the NFL to be viewed as too violent for the kids playing the game. Just something I read don't know if its true.

magan 1027 said:

cover guy has to be big ben cause he gets hit and keeps on tickin leading his team to sucess. also, the running needs to be more realistic in refrence to strides and stride length in reference to yard markers, cutting ability, and custom strides <cause reggie bush does not stride the same behind the line of scrimmage, given the circumstance/situation>

BLTZkrieg666 said:

"Quote: Peter Moore"

We're hitting the real sweet spot of development for this generation of consoles as the team is really hitting its stride in squeezing every ounce of power and capability from the hardware.

My question to you Mr. Moore is "which hardware".  Certainly you can't make that claim for the PS3 because you have yet to tap the potential of the 50GB ceiling that Bluray has to offer, so you must be referring to the limitations of the XBOX 360 which provides me the segway to a second question for you.

Is it not true that the reason why you wont tap into the true potential of the PS3 is because you don't want to upset Xbox 360 fans.  PS3 has pretty much established itself as  superior gaming console for sports.  Take one look at MLB 09: the show.  Mr. Moore, if you continue to hamstring the PS3 by not utilizing the 50gb space afforded by Bluray and give us PS3 owners the game we deserve, then please have the decency to allow Sony to produce a Football game for us PS3 owners.

I for one Mr. Moore am tired of having to play portovers from an inferior console in that of Xbox 360.

Thankyou.

KingGenesis said:

#1 The sideline players, as well as the ones in plain street clothes.

#2 The fact that refs are following the game which seems in real time, and not just AI flunkies.

#3 Individual player animations from the bench to the players on field.

#4 Truely rendered off field models such as gatorade containers are accurately modeled.

I would really like to see the term "Interactive" used alot, when it comes to producing gameplay.

For far too long we as fans have supported every gradual step that ea has made; And now that the technology is available there should be no excuses to improve on gameplay.

Some of us (fans) have been playing madden since it's inception in the early 90's, and

we, well I hope that you peter, and your staff understand that the people who play this game,

are the same ones who watch the game. So let's be honest with ourselves and spend the time and money to produce what we (I) want, AND THAT IS QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY.

I am a diehard fan, and I do not want to be disappointed by an half a@$ attempt to gain my trust into buying cannon fodder.

"ONE" screenshot is not enough for me to get comfortable with the game, If you reall value your customers, and how they have made your company what it is today, then heed our advice. I speak for myself when I say that I enjoy playing with my friends and family at home and online,

with complete strangers, and madden is a central piece to creating more freindships.

I have faith that you guys will adhere to our requests, and if I may adhere to our demands, And that is our primary demand, a "quality game". BTW great screen shot petey....

KingGenesis said:

OK,....First things first, Presentation goes along way to helping the gameplay. But not to the point that it completely consumes the game, in other words, replay animations are good but when they become repetitious, it is annoying.

When it comes to free agency, can you make seem alittle more realistic, and not a meat market menu advertisment?.

08' Had really good intro and animation affects(not a typo) I meant affects because ultimately what the game does affects what I do.

Sidleline interactivity, something like the qb coming to the sideline to get coaches input on a play, and or consult in regards to 2 minute gameplan, a goal line play scheme.

How about more interactivity with regards to player injuries: Like player recovery, post interview

w/ player/coach.

What ever happen to the ambulance that used to come on the field when a player got hurt?, that was ingenuity right there. More realism when it comes to on field injuries, like when a player is severely injured like career ending, or life threatening players console or get on one knee...etc.

you guys get the point, this is the kind of stuff we want to see, but,...but...but, do not forget the gameplay under no condition forget the gameplay...

Bmoreravens13 said:

Looks great! But please fix the real problem which is ffranchise mode!!!

KingGenesis said:

For the cover of madden, my top five picks are:

#1 Eli Manning (The guy one a superbowl for pete's sake pun intended ha ha.)

#2 Drew Brees

#3 Matt Ryan

#4 Payton manning (Had a good year, thats about it.)

#5 Tom Brady (I know, but due to injuries)

bmxer5 said:

how come only players who have the weapon for hands are the only ones to ever drop the ball i was playing as the cards and fitzgerald dropped four passes in the first quarter one in trafic on spec and two easy uncontested passes

also on the 49ers no one ever drops it except for bruce who has hands

BrettCM06 said:

The only thing that has been missing from Madden in my opinion is the ability to edit player sizes and builds in or out of franchise mode (i.e. height, weight, body shape). Every Madden from the PS1 and PS2 generations had this, maybe even earlier, but for some reason next gen hasnt. It couldnt be that hard to impliment since it was in the game for like 10 years.

I would like to be able to edit every aspect of the players in Madden, from equipment to appearance to ratings. This goes for in the roster menu and during franchise mode. Most games, like NBA 2K9 and MLB: the Show have this option in their franchise/dynasty modes, so why doesnt Madden?

KingGenesis said:

I am not seeing my comments here, am I too straight forward with my comments? or are they to

strict in nature?.

KingGenesis said:

Superbowl,...Superbowl,....Superbowl.....I cannot stress enough how disappointing it is to play sixteent games, and get to the superbowl just to see some uncool 54 second poor attempt at a superbowl video, that my little brother could make in his room. Please give the superbowl a little more pizazz, I would love to see the same kinda trophy room as in ncaa, where all of the trophies both personal and team aquired.

The superbowl needs a major overhaul, and it too is part of the game.

baker29r said:

dam that pic looks good but i dont think we buy madden to dwell on the authentic biz i mean yeh the graphics should be tight but 1 of the things that ea really should be looking at is improving gameplay and everything that has to do with it for me is definitely A.I awareness and not hav them look really stupid when a ball is thrown there way for them jus to watch it fly pass 2 rocket catching now that is bulshit and it aint realistic 3 online play has to improve dramatically 4 connection problem i live in new zealand i and i cant seem to be connecting to my fellow country men ea knows how much people play online so why not make your servers strong enough to handle the amount of people that plays online whether its in america or the far parts of the world i mean c'mon why is i can connect to some american players a not the people from my own country but yeh thats all for me ,but hey madden 09 is a far more better edition then 08 lets hope there really is a change in madden 10

DarkHado said:

These updates an first screen shot are amazing. Just like everyone else, can't wait for it to come out. Now I won't say all the same things that people have been saying all over these message boards (except for the fact that FAIR PLAY is a MUST online) but I wanted to try to say things that were forgotten. Such as:

1. Let us not be able to walk through field goal post an walls (absolutely rediculous lol)

2. If we are to have that many camera flashes, how about flashes that actually come from the photographers on the sidelines :-p

3. On field action on the jumbo trons

4. Have the genaric cover athlete but give us (the users) the ability to create our own in game cover athlete by being able to take on field photos....now that would be awsome. I'm sure everyone would like this idea.

5. Last but not least, have the players play to their ability. For example, I don't want to see a 78 overall defensive end plowing over my 99 overall offensive linemen. Let's let the ratings dictate the outcome.

That's about it really, well there are small stuff like moving clouds over the field an kickers warming up on sidelines an noticable flags on field for penalties but i'm sure you guys already put it in Madden 10. These are things we do see on Sundays. Don't get me wrong, Madden 09 was a big improvement from 08 but it's just the small things that needed fine tuning. Like I said earlier though, these updates are great an the fact your allowing us to suggest ideas is truely remarkable. Keep up the good work EA, it can only get better from now on. Peace

oneforthethumb said:

"Really nice job EA. This is looking really good.  ONe thing i would like to see is more gloves and a New postion....Long Snapper! They need their own position.  About the gloves, in Madden you have Black, White, and Team Color. What About alternate colors. Randy Moss is on the Pats and he has orange gloves. Give us the option to pick the color of the gloves (ex. Black, White, Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple, etc.)."

I agree with this. If you dont list them as their own position it would be nice to atleast have its own rating so you will be able to determine is the person can do it before you sign them

Number five is funny. Putting Brady on the cover would be dumb but hey would that mean the so-called madden curse would have went in reverse this time since he already had a season ending injury or would he have a new one? lol

clwalton21 said:

and the offensive lineman should be looking for pass rushers.the Offensive lineman that are already enganged should be looking straight at the defender theyre engaged with

clwalton21 said:

the pass rushers should be looking into the back field and/or at the QB.The offensive line players should be looking for pass rushers.if they are already engaged,the OL should be looking right at the man he is engaged with.just a little tweak.realism is very important.i linemen should not be looking off into space

Two days ago, Peter Moore released the first official Madden NFL 10 screenshot on his blog [ link ].

jljn90 said:

make superstar better. it doesnt feel good in 09. have it so that if im on offense and defence is on the field, that i can actually watch from the sidelines...like in nhl 09 be a pro mode. i want to be able to fight for my position too, and even get released, dropped to 2nd or 3rd string or traded. it would be nice at the end of a season in superstar to get info easily on what big players have retired or been traded in the off season. also, ive never been injured in superstar, even as a RB who is pretty crazy and getting big hits all the time.

i would like to see troy polamalu on the cover.

as long as the gameplay is better, i dont really care too much about sidelin detail, like fans, chain gangs and all that.

emitch27 said:

love the pic, but unbreakable7 is right about the sideline players. it would also be nice if ...

in superstar you could change your number and/or player size so that when i tansfer a. 09 player from college he doesn't look goofy in madden football 09

if i can have one arm sleeve on one arm and not the other like chase daniel

or if i can have 2nd color accesories for my players

deathstalk said:

make the pro day tests a little easier i mean seriously i am very good at madden and i can only get like a total of 78 overall for a quarter back!!!!

                                                          GO MADDEN NATION

Leyland said:

more than anything else its the NFL that is really hodling back madden. They have awful rules and regulations about there product. Its why we cant see injuries why the hitstick doesnt cause an increase of injuries also the reason we cant edit teams uniforms or use logos when we take a team to a new city. Its all regulation b.s. So dont blame EA because they are doing the best while having to cooperate with people who have no real interest in video games. Hey if its in the monopoly its in the monopoly.

jeshutheboss said:

Please sir mention about Cricket 09's announcement date. We are waiting from a long time.

deathstalk said:

peter,

one other thing that jljn90 said was that u should make superstar mode a little more realistic with releases, trades, fights for positions stuff like that. also emitch27 has a good idea with the gloves.

                                                   GO MADDEN NATION

hey u gonna be able to call for the chain gang or is auto

and why cant they have like a list of challenges then just going to challenge and then they like challenge the wrong thing

GREAT STUFFF MAN YOU GUYS ARE HUSTLING BUT IT WILL BE HOT IF YOU GUYS CONCENTRATE ON CREATE A TEAM WITH CREATE A PLAYER IN MADDEN 09 FOR THE PS2 YOU HAD SPECIAL TEAMS WHERE YOU CAN CREATE LIKE THE THUNDERSTORMS OR SUMTHANG LIKE THAT YOU CREATED IT WILL BE NICE TO HAVE THOSE AND CREATE A NAME BECAUSE I HATE WHEN I HAVE THE SAME NAME AS THE OTHER PLAYERS AND NAMES WHERE THE ANNOUCEMENT TEAM CAN SAY LIKE FLEURIMOND BOLLINDEER SOME WEIRD NAMES. ALSO BETTER PRESENTATION, BETTER ANIMATION, HILMETS COME OFF, AND PUT BACK TOURNAMENT NOT ONLY FOR ONLINE PLAY. THATS IT FOR NOW P.S. CREATE AN EXPANSION TEAM PLEASE

To BLTZkrieg666, you have written the truest and most honest post i've ever read. And that is why EA will ignore you from now on. Apparently, they don't take constructive criticism to well. But you're absolutely right.

Mr772 said:

Is it so hard to tell the people what they want to know??

What's the scoop on MADDEN 10 for PC ??????

If EA would wise up they could use STEAM or develop their own service similar to it to deliver Madden 10 and other PC software and be done with it.

EA really needs to take advantage of the power and flexibility in the modern PC. Advanced feature rich online leagues could make EA crazy money for PC if they would just put some time into it.

At the very least EA could have released a roster update for PC 08 or a Dev Kit so users can update on their own.

oh and more custumization to players gear and stadiums like shoe colors or somthing new helmets new eyeshields

Phins21 said:

EA you should add a creat your own play feature so ppl could do somethings like the wildcat and modify there favorite plays. another thing when starting a superstar u should put the combine in indy and put to more drills than just three so we the players can live the combine experience and for the draft u should put in radio city or something like that and u can either watch it unfold or or skip it but also for the combine dont put the team logos put the actual clothing like blue for DBS add details to it or have like mike mayyock talking in the background. and when u bcome a superstar u should in scenory and like ablity to customize ur house or even buy a house live in an nfl super stars shoes for a day or something. and add a haltime show to the superbowl or add a game wining ceromonie or when a team when players should rush the field or when u make a clutch play put it into slowmotion this game has a lot u can add to it i love this game im def gonna buy it

please bring back tattoos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LooneyJABB1 said:

I like the screeshot, but I agree with some of the others. I would like to see some shoes (name brands not just reebok) and accessories to match the colors of the teams uniform. Also, it would be nice if we could be able to sign shoe contracts (design our own shoes) and other endorsements.

oozy09 said:

When I see Madden 10's visuals and graphics i dont really notice anything different than the Towel,Refs and chaingang, and patches nothing else!!! When you notice the screenshot look at #78 push #55 that doesnt look realistic.... the grass needs some work in some of the fields (real life) the grass looks green and clean but in Madden it looks dead green and some dead grass.... the cleats need updating also gloves!! The socks need some workin show some clips where the guy lifts up his sox after being takled and adjust the sock lengths (white part of sox) because in real life the socks are in different lengths!! I WILL EMPHISIZE THIS FIX THE SHOULDER PADS BECUZ IN 09 THEY LOOKED WEIRD SOME HAD THEM POPPING OUT SOME HAD THEM GOOD FIX IT!!!! MOST player models dont look NOTHING LIKE the ACTUAL guy like QBs, WRs, RBs, DBs and DTs!!!

The Snow effect also when you played 09 or in the Rain the game looked blue!!! Why? It looked like fog surrounded the stadium speakin of snow and rain how bout when the player falls it makes a splash in the rain or a trail in the snow CMON DESIGNERS!!!

You want the game to look like if your playin and some1 walks in to say theres a game on? Not to say who's playin as who? Get me plz EA fix this and we would have the best madden of the year!!!!

oozy09 said:

EA....Peter im a big fan of madden like hardcore and when i hear people saying "Bring Back 2k5 and 2k sports" thats like a slap across Maddens face and to yours. That makes me sick and you have to proove this years (and years to come) Madden is gonna be better cmon you guys just need to watch some game film of real games and ask yourself "what is it that we don't have?" The Clock is tickin and you guys are sayin we cant do this bcuz of this!!! Cmon look at animated films they make it look real and thats bcuz they have to make a hole lot of things for a movie this is a game push yourself open up to the fans see wat they want!! never say "we cant do this feature cuz...." no unless it looks like "oh snap take it off" but we the fans are craving for the game bring the best madden ever!!!! EA AND ALL THOSE WHO ARE WORKING FOR THE GAME...............MADDEN IN 5 MONTHS CANT WAIT!!!!

ismaila47 said:

oh and you should also vary how long should the sleeves be on players so some under armor should come to the lower shoulder (visible through under pads) and half way down around the elbow and then all the way to the wrist.........also make a long sleeve thats baggy and hand warmers  people still wear those ya know and have signature intros like when lt comes out with the flag or the ray lewis dance

ismaila47 said:

PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT IM SAYIN: you guys make the gameplay sooooooooooo good and then you dont all the way bring it with the appearance you really need to bring NIKE onto madden goodness reebok does not rule the nfl! the uniforms should vary as in quarterbacks from a loose cut like peyton manning or an tight cut like the more recent qb's also most players never have their socks the right way you should be able to adjust that in the roster menu by percent 1% being more for like kickers who where almost all white socks on their uniforms to 100% for players like reggie wayne who looks like he is barley wearing white socks mostly blue also please bring back eye paint that was key in previous maddens........more helmets including LT'S! you should also put nfl logos on the bands around arms and team logos on visors...............and dreads should vary to player as in extremley long long kinda long and short and the pads should look tucked in even on the regular uniform or tight even on the regular ones not like a thick layer of left over uniform and bring about the more minute colors in uniforms example: Seattle wears alot of lime green lime green nikes gloves etc. also clevend browns dont really wear brown gloves more like orange.............i know this is alot but the little things is what people who study your game look at so work on that and maybe give people signature running patterns or somethings everyone looks the same ya know?    

deathstalk said:

hey peter,

the helmets they arent that big of a deal but please add some new ones like the shutt ion 4-d or somethin at least have wat nccaf has. also on frachise mode make it to where i can stay in the same city and build a new stadium please. that is all for now thanks.

                                              GO MADDEN NATION

PARAMEDICDAVE said:

Hey EA:

 Can you please bring back the Broadcast camera angle?

ivs-chargers-fan said:

could you guys please bring back tatoos on the players. and could u also have a choise of different hair stiles in create a player ... and the faces are in a nother edit  because i sometimes like a face but i dont like the hair it has. like some players have mohawks alot now. like shaun rogers from the BROWNS has a mohawk. soo please EA try your best to bring this features back.

ivs-chargers-fan said:

is michael vick gana come out as a freeagent in madden10? For the Pro Bowl could u please put the teams helmets not the red or blue helmet with the A or the N. The nfl doesnt doo that no more.

robs1987 said:

lets see some better gang tackles n how bout a better push the pile for them short yard downs i could give a *** less about refs n a chaingang lets see some better jump ball animations where they actually fight for it n not just u get rocked n its either u hang onto it or not also remember how ncaa 08 ur players would get in trouble n if u did nothin the officials would get at the school n take scholarships lets try n do somethin like that wit the new madden i mean we got pacman n plax n i can name about 10 more right off the top but no time for that that *** would be sick as f*ck take that into consideration ea

ivs-chargers-fan said:

i like what u guys are duing whit the gloves...but do that  also with the cleats....like Clinton Portis  is on the RedSkins and their colors are red and white but Portis uses black and gold cleats...could u also put  that on madden 10.

xH20x said:

i bet no one noticed this, and i've been waiting for this for a long time, SuperBowl Patches!!!!

all it needs is a euphoria type engine so i dont have to see canned animations

ivs-chargers-fan said:

please make franchise mode more real for the deffencive side. because i sometimes start a franchise with the chargers or cowboys and shawne merriman is always getting a average of 4 to 6 sacks and also withe demarcus ware .and in real life this guys average 11 to 15 sacks.And this guys are rated a 94 and 99.. and the cheapest players rated 78 to 86 are the ones allways getting 11 to 18 sacks....Or  when i start a franchise with the ravens or steelers ed reed and troy palumalu are all ways getting 2 to 3 INT's. and in rel life they get 5 to 8 INT's.. soo please fix this because im a big deffencive guy....GOO EA!!!!

deathstalk said:

dear peter,

im a big fan of the nfl and i was playin like i think fifa 07 or 08 and ur players had a public image to wre they could get in trouble by the public or policewhich was neat and that would rock to have in madden 10.

                                                GO MADDEN NATION

H0STILE 117 said:

There should be a roster update every two weeks in Madden NFL 10 you know?

footer65 said:

all these sound great but how about if i win the conference championship or superbowl SHOW THE TEAM POST GAME WITH THE TROPHY!!! i think it was nhl 04 or 05 that did this and had the players skate around with the trophy showing their stats and stuff like that... MAKE THE PLAYOFFS LOOK AND FEEL LIKE THE PLAYOFFS, MAKE THE SUPERBOWL LOOK AND FEEL LIKE THE SUPER BOWL.. yea and defintly make the sideline active and alive.. one more thing... how bout NFL 365.. updated stats and rosters at least weekly.. updated madden moments.. abilty to play superstar mode as anyone, not just rookies. i love having refs on the field but i wonder if they can get injured like that time a couple years ago when one took a bullet pass to the face and had to be carted off the field.

COOLKID_15 said:

I like this alot but please bring back TEAM COLORED CLEAT TAPE!

NMiller0192 said:

What about DEANGELO WILLIAMS for the cover? I dont know a person in the NFL who fought for extra yards better than DWill. Also who had a better nose for the endzone? Obviously nobody because he killed everyone in TD's while sharing carries with the leader in TD's for rookie HB's. I dont understand how nobody is mentioning his name?

Inside EA said:

Hello again Madden fans, we're back again with another weekly blog detailing some more behind-the

jr007lv said:

I have a ton of comments.  I have been holding back for awhile waiting to see if my comments would make sense because I'm a semi new player.  However, with that said...............

1. Kickers that can't kick 50+ FGs shouldn't be able to do it in games, OT, at home or in their dreams.

2. Please fix the issue with not being able to call a challenge from time to time...yes there was more than 2 mins left in the half.

3. I'm glad the layering fix will help with allowing a QB to throw with a lineman in his face.

4. We need better defenses for stopping the run.

5. Stop unrealistic INTs, CBs shouldn't be able to go thru a player to get a pick

6. Commentators say weird things like " he got hammered at the 49, when I'm on the 30".

7. And the cheat codes, do something to stop people from using them if you can.

Love the graphics coming to M10, more to come later.  Love the game.

Djdog24 said:

Can you please fix the problem with DBs jumping dramatically in the air to tip the ball on single coverage it really aggravates me. Also for the playoffs can you let the teams hold up their trophies and have the media come on the field and stuff. Last can you make a halftime show for the super bowl and to be able to choose a historic games or teams to play with. The game is still awesome and I can't wait for madden 10.

Footballp33 said:

Okay people, I haven't heard this yet: how about not having the same "game ending" for every single game!!! C'mon give me a break...every game does not end the same so, why on earth would EA have the same quarterback pumping, guys kneel down, few guys jumping for joy ending? The ending should match the gmae that was played. where are the guys being interviewed by the press, guys taking off their helmets as they enter the stadium etc.? What ever happened to the Madden and Sumerall coverage prior to the games? C'mon people!!!

SPHoushmandslama said:

I agree with DamienHill!

Countless times I have gone to challenge a catch and it ends up challenging the ball spot!

I want to be able to choose which aspect of the play I'd like to challenge.

I love Madden, but this was definitely an option of NFL 2K5 that I believe should have been picked up by EA.

Dr NI said:

I would love to see EA bring back the ability to "scout" your online opponents.  In years past you could see before you play the tendicies of your opponent,  ie how oft then pass vs run, audible, scramble etc.   The stats are already there for us to look at about our own game, make it available for everyone to see before kickoff.  Head Coaches don't go into games without scouting their opponent,  neither should we.

I would also love to see EA put some more 'realistiic' restrictions on the ranked online games to make it less arcade like.  There is a time and place for going for it on 4th down... tie score in the first quarter, with a 4th and 20 is not the time.  Let's no promote stupid gameplay.   Not sure where to draw the line, but there needs to be one.  

SPHoushmandslama said:

Oh, anyone thinking Steve Smith from the Panthers for the new cover??? Smallest receiver in the league breaks tackles like no other.

sixburghsteeler7 said:

First and foremost.....I would just like to say you guys are doing a hell of a job over there at EA sports! You guys are incredible! You guys have a deep commitment to your job and it shows in you're work. A thousand times.....Thank You! U guys are amazing!

                      The new madden and NCAA look incredible! You guys are really going at it! The realism is just simply amazing and truely lifelike! You guys have succeeded congrats! But there is one thing i would like to suggest, and trust me, i know this is nothing huge but something I always thought was cool.... on the old gen consoles they used to have this camera angle kind of like a real broadcast angle, I thought it was really cool but it never seemed truley lifelike and I haven't seen this on any of the next gen maddens, I know you guys are twaeking the camerea angles and I think it would make a fine addition to you're masterpiece! Because once footballs over..... you've always got MADDEN! Peace Guys! Keep up the freakin awesome work!!!!!!!!

I AM READY

burger93 said:

It looks ok but the graphics still look the same

GTHUGGMAC said:

1. FRANCHISE MODE IS SO DEAD RIGHT NOW EA NEEDS TO GO BACK TO MADDEN 05 WHICH HAD THE BEST FRANCHISE MODE SO FARE WITH EA SPORTS RADIO WITH THE TONY BRUNO SHOW AND STORYLINE CENTRAL. YOU COULD LOOK AND POSITION BATTLES B4 U PLAYED A GAME YOU COULD GET INFO ON A TEAM GAME PLAN AND STRAGEY, ALSO OWNERS MODE.

2. BRING BACK CREATE A PLAYBOOKS AND ALSO USE THEM IN ONLINE PLAY (I KNOW THAT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN SOON WITH THE ONLINE CREATE A PLAYBOOK BUT DON'T RULE IT OUT).

Djdog24 said:

I would love to see drew brees on the cover of madden and he made a great performance last season and no one has said anything about him.

maddenmassacre19 said:

please fix the defensive players catching the ball 20 feet in the air and catching period.

CAMREN630 said:

ea is doing ok they are trying but man do you guys think it took long enough?finally refs and chain gains only after four maddens on next gen wow thats not good.sidelines yeah enough said.gameplay needs some tweeking i just hope we are not dissapointed with yet another madden.

Radney J said:

I would like to see transition lighting and changing weather. 1:00 games should have a bright start and have a late afternoon look. 4:00 games should have the late afternoon look to a dark look. A freezing, cold game in Pittsburgh could be clear at the start but by 4th qtr, it could be snowing.

BoltsAlumni said:

Looks awesome! I can't wait.  There is a lot of constructive criticism here that would make the game even better.  Keep up the good work.   "IF IT'S IN THE GAME, IT'S IN THE GAME!"

watchthispro said:

i think they are doin a great job with the game but i have some suggestions for madden 10

1. they should bring back the way the players got hyped up in the begginning of the game like in 07

2. they should also make it seem like a radio/TV broadcast like in 07

3.  what happened to trick plays?!?

thats all i can think of. i think they are reasonable and aren't too hard to put back in the game

So far of what I see this game is gonna improve big time from Madden 09' and 09' was a GREAT game so to improve more then that is pretty hard.

I have bin waiting for the towel's since around Madden 07.

And it's finally come.

And welcome back the chain gang! It felt a little empty on the side line in 2009.

No GimX said:

Madden is just like Bret " The Hitman" Hart; The Best There Is, The There Was, and The Best there Ever Will Be. I think that it would be cool if the commentary was like how it is in football on tv. You local commentators during the day and on Sunday Night and Monday Night football is the big names like Madden. Just a thought. Keep up with the great work. Thanks

goran.v@gmx.net said:

What's up!!! No PC version again, or will there be one? Just tell it already!

Why???? Everything you can do on the PS3 or Xbox, you can do on the PC. Seriously!!!

No PC release, come on that's the dumbest thing I have ever heard! Not even Creationism is so stupid! I will never buy a EA game again, until you release Madden, and I think there will be a lot of other people agreeing with me! !

watchthispro said:

############READ############################

- I think they should have like player specific moves. for example, larry fitz should be constantly making crazy catches.Brandon Jacobs should lower his shouder to about any defender.

-also, the hair should get fixed because not everyone's long hair is tied in a ponytail

-they should set it so that whoever the replaces chris collinsworth in madden 10 should have a bunch of made up names recorded that will be used in franchise draft. for example if your in your 4th franchise year and have a fake QB that you drafted 3 years ago and his OVR is like 94, the guy should say something like " Bob Juke makes another great throw to move the chains" or something

SteelersFan666 said:

If you wanna make madden better this year how about fixing the freezing problems from the last two madden games, and make it so that you can actually do the 30 seasons of franchise mode, instead all you can do is about 5 of them before it starts freezing all the time. Also make superstar mode more fun, it gets boring after like 1 season. Seriously though fix these glitches they really piss me off, how can i do anything in franchise mode when i can only do like 5 seasons before it starts to mess up all the time

c00lpepper said:

Look at all the Dallas homers bumming off Marion Barber.  As hard a runner as he is, how many 1000yard rushing seasons has he had........0

dallasfan1993 said:

cOOlpepper look at how many times marion barber started and look at their backs now it might never happen or it could happen for the rest of his career.

fubar2much said:

I hope they get some offense pass interference in the on line part of the game. So it can be a little fairer between opponents.

BradyFan1 said:

Hand warmers added in the equipment section but only show up for cold games, bring bak the option for eye black 2. also, add some nike cleats and underarmor cleats. also add the cut off sleves like tom brady has. it would b cool if u could put in the statue of liberty play the pats did vs the jag's in 2007 aswell as the flea flicker type play they used vs the steelers the same year. some reverse plays wood be nice 2. thnk you for taking the time for considering these.

BradyFan1 said:

anothr sugestion is 4 wen ur in the playoffs, hav the playoff logo painted on thefeild nd on the side walls. nd also add the patch on the uniforms for superbowls. thanx again guys.

BradyFan1 said:

and 1 more thing...sry... make it so wen a QB calls the protection scheme (slide protection) he walks up nd points to a linebacker or saftey or sumthin like brady duz, nd on audibles, make it so that player makes the signals he wood do in real life like brady taps his fingers on his temples, or peyton manning has his 2 arms to the side with 2 fingers up...stuff like that. thanx...again. haha

trufreshmen said:

it' cool so far i just hope they put player face's on the game i have been waiting for that for a while like joe flacco does not look nothing like him or matt ryan what the hell santanio holmes was light skin!!! when i seen the preview of the video  i hope ea can fix dat an the injury stuff not detalied any more like the ambulance uste to come out i think depending on the injury it should be a certain scene .but the main thing is i hope they make the players look like themselves that would be awesome!!!!!!!!!

TampaBayAllDay said:

I wanna start by saying that i think you guys at EA do an exellent job with madden and its secound to none everybody might complain and have there beef with madden because of what happen with NFL 2K but you guys are King and everybody knows it. I just wanna put out there an idea about the roster depth. A lot of times guys come out of arena football or from overses or gets lost in the shuffle of the draft. I just  beilive it would be nice to see a guy like elbert mack be on the game or out the blue pro bowler clifton smith. those kinda guys are missed when u don't get a chance to see them but weither it goes down or not Madden will be the best game of the year jus by breathing
