Madden NFL 10

I bought this game when it first came out and i still play it regularly, all the game modes are good to play on and all the teams have there strong points.

The only reason that this game is getting so many bad reviews is because the people who dont like it are generally terrible at the game. Very good game and I would recommend to any sport fan.

i would have to agree that it is the best madden with new features, better graphics, better gamplay and its easy to pick up style. i like the become a superstar but unlike fifa i haven't come across a point improvement system which has annoyed me a bit. also the franchise modes are good and the fact where you can just manage the franchise and not play. it is a great buy but just that one thing that is bugging me.

As said above this is the best madden to date. The new presentation style is excellent and gives you the feeling of a real nfl game. The small things like towels and hand warmers add to the presentation. The gameplay has improved this year with real pockets around your QB and the slower game speed helps you make better decisions. New animations sees WRs doing over the shoulder catchers and leaping catchers. Also the game is the best looking madden, espically in HD. Franchise mode is great as always with the extra points show being a nice touch. The only real downside is that the superstar mode that seems to have been stripped back this year. However overall this is the best madden yet and a good improvement on 09 (plus if you don't like the slower speed then just turn it up in the options).

I really like the improvements EA have made to madden 10, first off the gameplay is more realistic as it has been slowed down to a normal game pace.
The character movements are probably what im most happy with, e.g when receivers are running routes, they break down and explode out of their cuts when changing direction (just like they do in the NFL) I know its a small detail, but all other maddens have been missing this.
Playing as a runningback, it is easier to find the hole in the O line and exploit it for a big gain. QB's are also a lot smarter, they don't throw into triple coverage anymore, and their dropbacks are suited to how they do it in the NFL.
As far as tackling goes, just play as a defender on superstar mode and you'll be amazed with the sort of hits you can put on offensive players.
5 Stars!!!

This is finally the Madden to overtake NFL 2K5 the graphical improvements are huge compared to last year and the all new presentation makes playing feel just like watching on a Sunday. The best feature by far though is the online franchise mode and the 'extra-point' halftime show and weekly round up show these two features really make Madden more than a game it feels like a real universe where your actions in game are reflected outside and contracts and player morale are affected realistically. To activate online franchise you need a special code that was by mistake not included in the PAL version of the game but an E-mail to EA support including your EA Account e-mail and gamertag will quickly resolve this minor problem. Compared to last years edition this is a huge improvement and I recommend not just to NFL fans but to anybody who enjoys playing games on their XBOX 360. 5 stars
