  • Summary: Experience first-hand what it's like to Fight for Every Yard in Madden NFL 10. With the all-new Pro-Tak animation technology, players have more control over the outcome of each play. Whether driving a receiver towards the first down, or battling for a fumble at the bottom of a pile, the play won't end until the whistle blows. Add to that the most immersive broadcast presentation and online innovation to date, and Madden NFL 10 captures the authenticity and emotion of the NFL like never before. Pro-Taks's all new animation technology provides unprecedented control over the outcome of every play. Drag defenders towards the first down marker, including up to 9-man gang tackles, fight for a fumble at the bottom of the pile, and evade the rush with all-new quarterback avoidance actions. Enhanced play at the line of scrimmage features a new blocking system that allows the quarterback to step into the pocket and gives the defensive line more control over the rush. Authenticity - Referees peeling players off a fumble pile, the chain gang rushing in to measure for a key first down, and all-new player equipment ensure that if you see it on Sunday, you’ll see it in Madden NFL 10. Fight for Online Dominance - Delivering the most comprehensive online offerings in franchise history, Madden NFL 10 includes new modes to satisfy the competitive and cooperative football gamer. New TV broadcast-style presentation and cinematic cameras bring the suspense and intensity of the NFL to your living room.

    The improvements that Madden 10 offers over Madden NFL 09 are vast. In fact, aside from a new console generation, Madden 10 might provide the most significant year-over-year upgrade in the 21-year history of the series. Even gamers who have been wishing for a sequel to ESPN NFL 2K5 will be impressed, and for a football fan, buying this year’s Madden is a no-brainer.

    A fantastic addition to the series, and quite possibly the best football game ever created.

    Madden NFL 10 is the best American Football game out there and knows to improve on it's predecessor. It's clear to say that this is a must have for all the fans of the sport.

    Like every other year, the Madden-series exceeds the limits of what a sports game can do. Stunning graphics and great, addictive game modes makes this one an instant buy for every Madden-fan, but the stinky decision of selling player upgrades for real money really hurts the overall score.

    This is, by far, the best Madden they've made. I've been playing Madden since 1994, and this is the most complete, true-to-the-game incarnation. They've gotten rid of irritating things, like the mini-games when you create a superstar, and have added cool things like Pro-Tak. If you've been staying away from Madden for a few years, now is the time to come back.… Expand

    I can honestly say that I am happy with this years effort to make Madden NFL 10 the best football game in the series on next gen consoles. I was a huge fan of the NFL 2k series and it hurt when i had to give up great presentation & comentary in those games for the less than stellar recent Madden games. (I would really fall asleep on many occasions when playing madden alone.) Madden has always had a solid franchise mode, and great gameplay, but it was hard for me to be excited or interested to play more than a game or two at one sitting with 5min/ quarter. Well that has changed with this years game. I know, almost, feel like i am experiencing the magic of an NFL t.v. broadcast; almost! PRESENTATION: 8 +Easy and simple to navigate menues. +Great camera tricks during games. +halftime show that breakdown stats and show highlights -uninteresting comentary. -certain parts like the halftime show, feels empty & incomplete. GAMEPLAY: 8 +same solid madden controls you are use to. +fluid and responsive.(though some may not agree, I like the slower pace of this years game because it feels more realistic) -same gamplay quirks as previous Maddens (receviers running out bounds after a catch close to the sideline, etc) AUDIO: 8 + the audio for the most part is solid. the crowds chant things they really would at their home stadium. the player chattering is nicley done and believable. +the music plays low during the games but is effective and suites this game well. great selection of audio tracks by various artist. GRAPHICS: 8.5 +Very believable and realistic animations +Simply the best looking football game available, and it looks very good in HD. -the really good animations causes the poor ones to stick out a lot more. -many player faces need help. -textures pop in late some times on sidline shots. +these negatives dont really detract from the overall experience. *there is now a franchise mode online! *If your a football fan & have a PS3 or xbox 360, then you can be sure to find a satisfiying game in Madden NFL 10.… Expand

    Were the reviewers playing the version of Madden 10 we got? I wouldn't think so reading their reviews, when it shows players on the sidelines there numbers often show up as 00 for 6 different guys! The game itself is decent but the superstar mode SUCKS! No interviews, no movie deals, no progression nothing that would make you want to play it. I think people get paid to give games good scores… Expand

    This game isnt bad however it is not very good. It does show that Ea, Peter, Ian and crew are to lazy to start from scratch. They need to throw away all past madden game engines, game logic, game graphics and start fresh instead of building on what has already been established as a poor game. They are cocky and stubborn and it shows with their sub-par releases every year.… Expand
