Madden Hits the Shelves on Thursday Midnight!

Madden 2010 hits the shelves at more retailers Thursday midnight. For anyone that love sports and has had a console at one time or another Madden is the mecca of sports gaming. EA is doing an amazing job of pimping the game via twitter as well.

I think I'll pick it up on Friday and play a bit through the weekend. I was curious who else on the board was planning on picking up the game.

The game does have some amazing features to running a football team that allow you to draft, control the cap, sign free agents and control your coaching staff. New this year is the online franchise mode, this will allow you to take the Bolts online and compete with other players online via xbox or PS3 through numerous seasons. Quite intense I'm sure!

Just one more thing to occupy me until kick off.

Last year

I was really disappointed in the game last year. It felt too…..I don’t know. I hated the Madden Rating thing, because every time I seemed to get the running game going the following game I’d have like 1 YPC. I’m sure I’ll give it a chance at some point this year though.

Head Coach was more fun for me, honestly. The AI could’ve used a little work, but set-up and the amount of control you had was awesome. Also, having a player’s rating differ depending on your team’s strategy was brilliant.

Interesting!

I wonder if that is an issue with sliders or the gameplay itself. I know I run a dynasty on NCAA 10 on xbox and the league had been having issues winning, I adjusted the sliders and all of the sudden the game was too easy. We are trying to find a good fit currently.

GETTING IT!

I got my girl going at midnight thursday to get the game, cant wait. My friends and I take the game kinda seriously. We are all major football fans and i’m the only charger fan. The way we defend how our team is the best in the league is on the sticks(game) In last years madden tournament that we had, I came close to winning it all. Hopefully I do this year and the chargers do as well. They are supose to be the 2nd best ranked team in the game next to the Pats…

Tournament

A BFTB tournament would be pretty interesting…

It’s too bad a small group will probably be split by having it on different consoles.

PS3 here, though, I’m still debating whether or not to buy this year’s Madden.
