The demo is pretty good. The 1 minute quarters greatly takes away, but the gameplay is amazing. Cutting back is so much easier, the offensive line blocks much better. You can tell the difference between an average joe like Hixon and what like Fitzgerald would be. So much better than 09. I have to wait till Monday to get my 5 min. quarter demo so for now I am downloading the 1 min quarter demo, hopefully it's as good as you say it is. I got the 5 minute quarters too. That version is 100x better. The wildcat is really fun to play out of, but I see it becoming cheese material online.

The demo is up on the XBL marketplace now for Gold members. It's a crappy demo, though. 1 minute quarters and you can only play as either the Giants or Cowboys. As an Eagles fan, I think I'll just wait until the game's out...

I don't like the way this year's game plays, cause I suck at it. Any pass over 15 yards seems to be a moonball that the secondary can always catch up to. And somehow the Cardnials are stacked EVERYWHERE on defense.

I downloaded the 1 minute quarter version. It seems pretty similar to 09, just a little better.
But I was intrigued by the wildcat and I was using the Cowboys (did the Giants playbook have it too?) and I could not execute it at all. I think the most I got out of it was like 4 or 5 yards. It seems like they don't block in the right spot and the defense just instantly gets through to you.
Atleast that was my impression from about 3 minutes of using it.
I also hope that the Dolphins have more variations in the formation since they are probably the reason it's in 2010.

Both the Cardinals and Steelers do, though. I found it much easier to run with Willie Parker/Santonio Holmes, probably because they're fast.

I'm a Cowboys fan but I must say its pretty damn random that they selected them and the Giants. I played the demo and wasn't really thrilled about playing a "home" game as Dallas on New York's field. Wonder what Dallas will play in this years game. I'm guessing it'll be generic?
They improved some things clearly like the graphics and such...meh. Presentation appears better but it looks like they rushed through it from what you can see. They also made some good animation changes which has been one of their biggest problems in my eyes.
The Wildcat is useless to me. I've never been that good at draw plays let alone reverses or anything fancy like that. Maybe if I had a guy with 100 speed it would be useful. I would probably hardly if ever use it.
But at the end of it I just didn't walk away from the game with that "must buy" feeling. So I'm probably going to stick to not getting it this year.

What, does every game for you need to be home? What do you mean role? Dallas is an 85 overall. This isn't an adventure game with a story, it's a football game.

What an unnecessary rant. - Cowboys/Giants may be a "big rivalry" but I can think of far bigger ones and I made that statement because they could have just as easily selected any other "big rivalry". - "Every game need to be home for you?" Laugh out loud. Again it was simply a statement. And it clearly is something that would stand out. - And well that last statement... i have no idea what you were rambling about there. Though I must thank you. I had no clue I was playing a football game.

The new Dallas stadium will be in the game 100% confirmed already. Whether it's in the demo or not does not matter.

Alright, so I finally got a chance to play the demo today (just the public XBL demo). And I can tell just from this....I'm going to LOVE this game.
My favorite moment thus far was when I was the Cowboys, and Romo got tackled after scrambling, and hurt his leg. Kitna came in for one play. Then, I had the option to put Romo in. I figured why not, and put him in. Romo's first play, he drops back slowly, limping, and then due to the snowy weather, he slips, re-gathers his footing and throws the ball away just before being sacked.
Pretty sweet moment.
Oh, and for those wondering, here's the soundtrack for Madden 10;
Pretty damn good soundtrack, if ya ask me.

Pretty much every song is from Rock Band or another EA game. One's even from Fight Night.

What's with that soundtrack? Don't get me wrong, there are some great songs there but everything's so old. They usually have recent or new, if not so new it's not even released yet, music.

I've actually become fans of artists/songs thanks to Madden soundtracks. But, atleast they're old, good, songs.

The more I think about it, the more I'm really not happy with that soundtrack. I mean they're good songs, but I know I've heard most of them like a million times each. The soundtrack is going to get so annoying because it's not like new music where you have not only time to first hear it, get to know it, and then maybe get sick of it. Here we have songs that a lot of people not only know of, have heard already, but have heard tons of times before. I'll probably be so sick of those songs within the first month of playing the game.
