Yeah I got the full 5 minute SB rematch demo from Gamestop for preordering Madden 10.
So far my initial thoughts were, holy shit they slowed down the gameplay pretty drastically, and 5 minute quarters don't take long at all. I think I finished the demo within 30-40 minutes when a game at 5 minute quarters used to take an hour.
It seems to lean more towards a realistic physics, as in playing as Big Ben for the Steelers, it felt like his throws didn't go off automatically like in 09, but took time to set his feet and throw the ball. I like that, but because I'm so used to the fast style of gameplay from previous Maddens, I think it may take some time to get used to this new speed. Or maybe not, considering I crushed Arizona 42-7. Regardless, I may make just a couple very slight changes to my settings when I get Madden 10, those being up the gameplay speed just a touch, and change to 7 or 8 minute quarters because that game just went by way too quickly.
Other than that I like it, the pocket protection was interesting, scared the hell out of me because it feels like you're just about to get sacked, and the Wildcat formation? Fucking amazing, I can't wait to see what I can do for the Vikings with Harvin and the Wildcat formation, it will be sick. I'm hoping they allow you to make Wildcat formation plays, instead of just the default ones. Overall it's definitely a newer, improved Madden from years past, but of course this is just from the demo, so we'll see how it is when we get the full version in August.
