Very few Madden games have allowed players to play this method online. Most Madden games have allowed players to team up against the computer locally in couch co-op. All in all there's almost 100 bullet points of new features and improvements in Madden NFL 2010. You'll also get weekly roster updates, which we've already seen, with additions of Bret Favre and Michael Vick. There's even an iPhone application that extends the franchise and allows you to manage things on the go. For online gamers, Madden NFL 2010 supports online franchises for a full 32 teams, live drafts, and integration with the official website. The one thing I think most Madden vets will notice is the addition of 1000 new player animations - gone, finally, is that hokey running animation of the past four or five years. There's also a new Fight for the Fumble option which adds quick time events to recovering a fumble in a pile. This year it's the Pro-Tak animation system which yields realistic tackles with multiple players. This is true to a degree.Įvery year Madden games add some buzz words to their back of the box descriptions to tout new features. But wait you say, you could always play Madden in a co-op mode. Why? This year's Madden promised to do something different for co-op gamers by providing an online cooperative mode to the game. This year was a bit different though, this year I knew I'd pick up the game without any deliberation. I'll also admit most times I end up picking it up anyway and do end up enjoying it for a bit, until I start cursing it out. Every year the same question comes up around mid-July, do I pick up Madden this year? I'll admit more times than not I try to avoid picking it up, saying it won't be that different, it won't be worth the money. I've been playing Madden NFL football games since the age of the Sega Genesis.
