MADDEN 2010 Part II

Madden 2010:

Online Play

So I got a chance to buckle in, strap ‘em up, and test my mettle against others in a ranked match. I gotta say, I was actually NERVOUS! It’s been years since I’ve played Madden online and I used to fair pretty well. I didn’t want to come back here all down trodden to report that I hadn’t been able to finish due to me throwing a hissy fit.

So getting a game going with your friends is simple. ALL your friends are listed in a menu to the right. It tells you if they are on Madden or not and their online record. It will prompt you to challenge them if they are in fact on the game, so I chose the weakest opponent I could find and sent the challenge.

Opening kick off, I suffered lag, and pooched it out to Devin Hester who took it to the house. I was crushed and instantly gave it a failing grade. Mics were spot-free unlike most other EA games (Madden, baseball, etc.) and the game play was fluid.

What impressed me the most was the AI online. My opponent had a 21-3 lead going into the 3rd Quarter. He chose to try and run it up on me and I intercepted him 5 times! It almost MAKES you play like a real NFL team. If you don’t mix it up, you will get shut down. ALL in all I would give the online portion a 4 out of 5 with the kicking being the only issue. I wasn’t able to kick the ball 3 times total, but hey, I still managed to win so I won’t complain.
