    As fun as this still is to play (going off of the demo at least), Backbreaker has really raised the bar for in-game on-the-fly animation in sports games, and it shows with how clunky and stiff Madden still looks, despite EA's claims of improving things for this iteration yet again.

    Animations in this years version are a lot better than previous efforts but still way behind Backbreaker. Reckon it won't be long before the two meet.

    Looking forward to this as I really enjoyed the demo.

    Didn't bother buying last year's game due to the saminess that plagues most of EA Sport's games year in, year out but this game felt better to play and noticeably different from Madden NFL 09 so I bought the new one. I personally think it's much closer in feel and presentation to the epic ESPN NFL 2K games of yesteryear, a series that EA have never quite managed to surpass despite the last one being released five years ago!

    P.S. Unlike the other two posters here, I thought the Backbreaker demo was mediocre. It lacked atmosphere and just didn't feel right to me. Good animation though but that's not why you buy a game! It felt like the whole game was made around that animation though and that's likely why nothing else felt up to the same quality.

    i didnt buy last years game due to playing the demo and it being to similar to the year before. This year is a real improvement and im really enjoying franchise mode at the moment and just made it to the divisional playoffs with the titans chris johnson is a beast. The atmosphere in the play-offs is awesome and the commentary is a big step up with gus johnson. I played the backbreaker demo and to be honest it just didnt look right or play well, madden still got it over their competitors although id like to see the nfl give their license to more than one game then we might get better competition.
