So I picked up Madden 2010 at gamestop tonight, popped it in and started my franchise. I figured it would just be a test run to get settings right so that I get realistic stats, but thats not the point.
I'm not going to go over any of the stuff that we already know about (i.e. slower play, improved graphics, new features etc...) I want to talk about the stuff no one has mentioned. Unfortunately, they are gripes. And I'm not the type of person that gripes about Madden, I barely every do. That said, this is for the 360 version.
During the game, I can say there were at least 10 plays that right as I snapped the ball the game lagged a bit and hiccuped on me. VERY annoying. Aside from that, the actual game play was very enjoyable.
In the franchise mode though (which a ton of us play) I was extremely disappointed. First of all there is a ton of lag when going through the menus. The menu's are setup worse than last years, in terms of finding stuff. If I'm looking at QB's stats and scroll over to TD's and then hit RT to go to RB's stats it holds its location, which ends up just bringing you to what you don't want to see and you have to scroll back over again. Annoying. Maybe I missed it somewhere, but when I simmed the season to do a full seasons worth, I never saw an actual progression area. The players progressed, but it never told me how much.
Mostly though, something that just pisses me off is the lag in the menu's and in the gameplay. (All offline) I wonder if this is just a 360 thing, or if Madden is just fucking stupid this year when it comes to gameplay. (I can't imagine its my 360, its not like I have spyware on it or something).
Anyone else notice this?
