The players themselves have been shaped to reflect various position stereotypes. The quarterbacks are broad-shouldered heroic types; the offensive and defensive linemen are hulking refrigerators; the wide receivers and defensive backs are sleek and skinny. Though very cartoon-like, the new style maintains enough realism to avoid feeling over-the-top.
Like previous Wii iterations, Madden NFL 10 will retain the tried-and-true PlayStation 2 gameplay and Wii motion controls. This time, though the controls have been refined over the past three years, a few changes have been made.
First and foremost, many of the motion controls have been changed. Instead of featuring multiple gestures, the game will now only feature two, which will perform the most fitting maneuver for the situation. For instance, if you're a defensive back and you do a gesture, you'll swat the ball down. Also, some of the moves, such as the spin move and the juke, have been mapped to buttons to make it simpler.
The passing game has been totally revamped. Instead of the mixture of motion controls and button pressing, Tiburon has changed the passing to a point-and-click interface. Players now hike the ball and use the pointer to select a receiver, and then press a button to throw the ball. The old passing style will still be available for players that prefer that.
Last year added the Call Your Shots mode that allowed players to change their offensive player's routes right before the snap. This year adds the same mode to defense. Players can now select a defensive player and quickly change him to a zone, man-to-man, or blitz defense.
There will be more announcements to come as Madden NFL 10 gets closer to its August 14 release, including concrete information about the new multiplayer party modes.
You want to know what kind of (American) football game sells to casuals? Blitz. Make Madden like Blitz and I'd be all over that!
You mean the one which doesn't use the NFL license? Well of course nobody wants that, it isn't authentic. If Madden did it, it'd be a hit.You want to know what kind of (American) football game sells to casuals? Blitz.

Hey someone gets it. Just because you CAN make everything a gesture doesn't mean you SHOULD. :o
The style looks ok, but it's really distracting how the fingers of the players don't close around the ball.
I have yet to play madden on Wii, but the offense sounds pretty good. I have always wanted it to play more like PES; with the ability to point to who you'd like to pass it to (and if there was a pro feature, WHERE you want to pass it to). I also have always wanted to control my other players when I am running. Nothing serious, but the ability to tell them who to block would be nice.
Defense sound really good too.

You speak of a new graphical style yet I see no pics... what kind of preview is this?
Idemandstrongly suggestwould appreciate pictures in the previews and reviews when possible.
I thought Tecmo Bowl was coming to Wii ?? guess its not coming anymore because DS game flopped ?? Or is that for E3 ??
You mean visit the actual site? I... I haven't done that in ages. I wouldn't even know where to start.You speak of a new graphical style yet I see no pics... what kind of preview is this?

You could always go to the game profile page and look at the screens there.
I think the fabled NWR 2.0 will have a better way to put images into previews and reviews.
