I just played Madden NFL 10 at the local Best Buy. Very fun, except the pass defense on anything other than Rookie is DAMN tight and interceptions are more common than usual (by the way, I played against my younger bro). Thank GOD they brought back custom sliders. You would be EXTREMELY wise to tune this IMMEDIATELY upon starting the game up, or else you'll be dealing with MLB 09 The Show syndrome where it's low scoring as all hell.
Also, when running a few plays (I was the Dolphins trying out the Wildcat (yep, it's in there)) I had a couple plays where a lineman out of the huddle would get stuck trying to get to his spot, he was just running into the lineman beside where he needed to be. I didn't get any penalties called for this as he eventually lined up where he needed to go, just something worth reporting I thought.
The Wildcat works well when you aren't running. One of the WORST parts of it though is that you can't take off running with your RB (who is lined up as the QB, for those that don't know what the Wildcat is) on passing plays (unless I was doing it wrong, we we're playing on a 360 (*GASP!* BLASPHEMY!!!)). This'll be quite the problem. Also, the run plays in the Wildcat seem very uneffective, unless maybe my little bro just sniffed it out each time.
Other than that it was a freaking blast. This will be my first next-gen Madden game (unless you want to count Madden 09 on the Wii, which really was pretty good) and I am absolutely psyched!!!
Also, the rumor has been flying around that on launch day they will have a roster download to put Michael Vick in as a Free Agent (or to whatever team he goes to if he is signed today). But that's all speculation. It's been flying around the main EA forum as well and no mods or anything have clarified or denied it so...
Oh, and one other thing. Bust out the piggy banks and put them in the big...gie...bank...ugh...anyway, today is Marvel vs. Capcom 2!!!!!
