Just want to talk about my thoughts on madden 10 with the new features they told us about already. I think all these features that they are adding are so far fixing exactly whats wrong with the game, and I feel that if they are addressing the issues this early already, then they should be able to get rid of the rest of them by the due date. I have been satisfied with what I've been seeing, however, I won't be completely satisfied till I get a real football game in my hands after the development is all over.
With momentum in madden 10, I can almost assure you there will be no more rocket catching because you no longer can run your player full speed in one direction, be able to stop him, turn around on the dime, and then jump 10 feet in the air at a straight 90 degree angle. When you try turning around after heading full speed in the other direction, your player will literally run 4-9 yds wide depending on how fast they are running and their footwork.
FB dive has been one of the most annoying plays in madden for a while and finally, they fixed it. With the new animation for the FB dive, the FB won't have the ball at the line of scrimmage in a half a second. Now, you can actually see wth is happening before he gets the handoff, and have time to react instead of guessin is it a FB PA, or a FD dive.
