Madden NFL 10 was a mediocre but still fun Madden game (that you could argue was the beginning of the end) #retrospective #SOFTDRINKTV #game #review #sdtv
I recently bought Madden 10 and one thing that surprised me was the stat tracking. I played as Peyton Manning and was down in the 4th quarter and it would mention how many career comebacks Manning had. Or when I got close to breaking the passing TD record, a blurb would pop up saying the QB needs X amount of TDs to break the record.
@@cabbageman8184yep. Madden 21 to 24 (WORST MADDEN GAMES OF ALLTIME), F1 22 (WORST F1 GAME OF ALLTIME) and FIFA 21 to FC 24 (WORST FIFA GAMES OF ALLTIME) are just some of the sad examples of EA's current state.
Our standards as a community have fallen so far because Madden literally has an entire generation that never played the PS2/Xbox games. There is literally an entire generation that has nothing to base current games on, other than the new Era of madden
Same can said about how the gaming industry is now. So many people think its okay for devs to drop a shit game and flood it with microtransactions. Buy now; fix it later.
Bro the shit is so crazy lol like they missed the golden time of gaming lol and really think this micro transaction shitt game but just good graphics shit is what we supposed to be accustomed to LMAO bro stg I play my 360 & PS2 more than my PS4 And I have fun playing p4 but shit gets boring if I'm not playing online with friends. I could play PS2 & 360 for hours on without another player playing with me lol
same, just like nhl, the standards of nhl has also fallen off hard because nhl ea literally has an entire eighth and nine generation that never played ps3, 360 games, even 2k nhl series. there is literally an entire generation that has nothing to base already dead series on.
Lol, that’s crazy you just uploaded this, cuz I’ve been playing the game all week. Most underrated Madden of all-time. Online play was so competitive. This Madden had the best presentation ever!
it was above average. had create-a-team......madden moments.....was a bit slow and clunky, but it was just before the VC boom hit, so wasn't hammering us with MUT. AND it had that awesome AFL legacy mode with AFL uniforms (also referees) and that grainy broadcast presentation, which was so cool.
Yes AFL mode was in Madden NFL 10 as DLC. It was a mode that was in Madden NFL 11 and Madden NFL 12 as a regular game mode and not DLC compared to Madden NFL 10 which is probably why no one knows that AFL mode started in this game.
Crazy world we live in when all we want in 2022 is for a football game with All Pro Football 2k8 gameplay, ESPN NFL 2K5 halftime, and Madden 06 franchise. Think about that.
@@LogBitzWasntTakeni remembered a lot that you can use Madden NFL 06 BUS on Crash Mode in BURNOUT REVENGE (Must have MADDEN NFL 06 SAVE GAME to use that car).
we need Madden 11 next. Had so much fun with that game. From the way the game began to the way the game played allowing anything to happen any given Sunday, to the Chris Collinsworth ang Gus Johnson commentary, to create a team, to pre-game chants to everything else
Not to mention added features like GameFlow, game plan, and simpler controls with the right stick. The intro itself has never failed to pump me up for football.
This was my first next Gen madden that I got for my 10th birthday. My favorite aspect about the game was the soundtrack and the franchise mode. The soundtrack was the BEST I have ever heard when it comes to Madden games 😭. I still listen to it consistently when I go to the gym.
Unpopular Opinion: I liked the "fight for the fumble" feature. It was a good initiative to simulate what is fighting for a fumble under a pile. Now, I admit I dropped buying Madden every year after Madden 12.
Madden 10 saw the return on referees on the field. They didn't exist in 06-09, though Ed Hochuli did show up in 09 to announce penalties, there were no refs or chain gangs until 10.
Being completely honest, I never noticed Ultimate Team on this game. I loved the franchise mode and other features though. Definitely my last favorite Madden. 👌🏿👌🏿
@@mahrigotbanned I've been playing Madden longer than you have been alive i I was alive when Capcom made a NFL game... Madden 11 and was the start of the declined.. I stopped playing Madden then and saw first hand how it was declining.. I was on this while y'all just now waking up.. I played more NFL games than you knew even existed stop with the L crap
Nah, this is crazy. I still go back and play this Madden more than any other besides 09. Franchise mode still had some great features, drafting was fun, you could trade for any player, and the extra point was a great new show added for additional context and Emerson. The game play was still good enough and relatively balanced
I still go back to 06. It's missing some features that would be really nice, like trading for future picks, but you can't beat the vision cone; you can't beat getting a pick on defense by reading the QB's eyes.
Madden 10 is better. U don't need a vision cone to excel at the game. U read the qbs eyes by scanning the feild as a qb and going through their reads as if you were them and bet them to their spot. As. Qb u have to either slow down to region stance or hold L2 to steady your stance to deliver a accurate ball to a receiver. No cone necessary @@SchulzEricT
Madden 06-09 were progressively less terrible. Madden 10 was playable but still worse than PS2. Madden 11 was really 10.5 Madden 12 was really good. Madden 13 was what happened when EA began a two year project and released what they had accomplished half way through. Madden 25 (14) was the conclusion of that two year project and - while flawed - is the best Madden. Gameplay, custom playbooks, and the best franchise mode ever.
The Pro Tak feature wasn't well implemented. But it was a potential good foundation. Instead they canned it, but left the issues from it in the game. If they let the team at the time actually work on things with that, it could have worked out well and we'd be in a different state now
Madden 10 was probably the most I spent on a madden game, I remember playing it with my dad and we would just have a blast going against each other. Playing alone still had enough to keep you engaged and kept your attention but truly playing with your friends or family is were it stood out the most
I played Madden 10 so much. I did a franchise of 32 created teams that went all the way to 2020. Was so bummed when they took creation mode out of the game.
Agreed on all counts. I bought my 360 in the summer of 2007 just as I entered high school. I bought Madden 08 and 09 brand new - utterly embarrassing. I couldn't get through a game without getting frustrated at how it played. 08 the players had no momentum & could turn on a dime, and in 09 the UI was atrocious and the field had a blue tint to it. 10 was the first Madden that felt like they were onto something. The presentation I remember played a big role - like you said, the NBC style graphics package and tons of little cutscenes/animations in between each play made it feel like a proper football game. Then Ultimate team happened lmfao.
You can turn off fight for the fumble so it's a bit more realistic to who gets the ball first! Ooooo i think those gang tackles look really awesome after playing newer maddens, so many players bringing someone down and kinda cool seeing teammates trying to push you
This game was soo good. Played it for years. Reminds me of the good old middle school days playing black ops 1 and such. Man where these great times. I'd do anything to go back to this time for just a hour.
I loved the draft classes. I was pissed off when I found out they took the import feature away from the NCAA series. What I found was the back stories connected me to these handful of players each draft class. In Madden 22 I have zero connection and every class fells the same. If gameplay is not the best then you have to have other features, like draft classes, that the gamer can connect with. We all wanted the Jack English draft in year 1.
I disagree This and 12 are the best maddens not from the xbox/ps2 era Increase the playing speed and adjust sliders and stop comparing it to 2k or the era mentioned and it's good The big issue with this game is the cutscenes being annoying, getting hit when trying to throw and the ball seems to go right to the DL, and AI pass defense being weak after a few years in franchise once teams become stacked and awareness can't be boosted for players Overall, this game is a great game that was closest to the xbox/ps2 era with slider adjustment
Madden 10 was a great game. One of the few Madden titles that made defense very prominent. With the massive hit sticks giving you a chance to force fumbles to making offenses fight and claw for every inch. This game felt like what a real NFL game would be like.
Madden 10 on the PS2 ftw given there wasn't a meter for fight for the fumble. You just spammed buttons. Though the 360 version felt like a real broadcast.
At least on PS2 Madden 09-12 were basically all the same. Slightly worse than 08 with updated rosters every year. Not great, not terrible. Just ok. I do like these games for Superstar mode.
This was the only Madden game I had growing up because my family couldn’t afford anything else. I played this game until madden 16 game out, and I do not regret it. Such a underrated game.
The very first madden i ever bought. (Pretty much i had 2k5 and used it until i got the Xbox 360 and bought madden on sale) a great game indeed, plenty of features that i wish modern games would have (especially playing in older super bowl venues such as 42 and 43 given that on that year 44 was the sb to come) Was only mad about the afl legacy mode and achievements being behind a paywall 🙄🙄
Literally 09-12 are the only maddens I play now, still trying to get my hands on a ps2 to play my favorite madden 07 with my absolute favorite feature in franchise mode “The Tony Bruno Show”
I do remember the game being "kinda easy" too, In that I could use the same curl routes and middle crossing routes and get at least 1 of 3 WR or TE open. I also knew absolutely nothing about football back then lol. After watching tho, I kinda want to play the PS3 version again.
Last madden I had til madden 13. Remembered being in 6th grade before this dropped and everyone was wondering is it going to be Madden 010, Madden 10, or Madden 2010. I miss those days where I created my own 32 team league and acted as if I was the commissioner. Really was the last good madden for non-online players
You do it well man. Growing up I was amazed how my mom could cook several things for dinner and serve them all at the same time hot and delicious. I still haven't learned that skill after 50+ years on earth. Your videos do this. Good on you bro! Keep them coming. Sorry if I sound like a suck ass but good is good you know?
Must disagree. I believe this was the last really great Madden. If you think the game plays slow then adjust the speed slider. Ea stopped caring after this game
Madden 10 was my favorite Madden I played as a kid. Probably because you could create a team filled with all of the NFL legends like Dan Fouts and Walter Payton(my go to QB and RB combo).
As someone who still plays ps2 daily, and has every Madden through 12, 10 was the best IMO. The #1 thing I hated about 12, was everyone had the same fave mask.... idk if it was like that for all consoles, but ps2 it was. And it made me hate 12
Man madden has changed way to much for the worse. Granted they have some newer nice things that are nice to have and of course more recent rosters but I've been fiddling with madden 11 on my ole ps3 and madden 18 that I can play on my ps5.. M18 is pretty decent to. Except they for super lazy with the player stats.. So I popped in madden 23 right before bed and I went into a franchise game. First 2 pass plays I did the qb just stood there and got sacked back to back plays. I notice also in coach mode the qbs don't even move around like madden 18 they were. But ya after those 2 sacks I left to game to make sure coach was on in main menu and it was on coach mode.. Omg.. Ice🎉had this issue before to where the qb just stands there
I love when no one can actually decide when the downfall of Madden was but it was definitely after the first or second one that they started playing. People online used to talk online about 10 the way we talk about 25 pt2 now. It never changes, regardless of what features are lost or not. Madden is one franchise where no one can actually come to a consensus on when it was great or when it failed but can all agree that the current game of the time is definitely the worst one.
Fight for the fumble (which happen in real games) gang tackling (which happens in real games) qbs throwing out of sacks (which happens in real games) are not in today's game idk training camp mini games might actually have been fun to play (they have training camp in real life and make TV shows about it) I don't understand
To me Madden 10 was one of the best Maddens made in the 2010s. The slower gameplay really made gameplay feel realistic. I even respect the fight for fumble . The visuals were nice. But the gameplay head to head was pretty nice . Madden 10-12 Gameplay wise was very fun to play in its prime.
This was probably my favorite Madden game. On Next-Gen or classic. But you should have had it on PC. Along with the Madden 09 classic maybe next-gen console. With the old school and 3rd generation consoles getting old and breaking down, who would pay for a used Xbox 360 or PS3? No one would. Maybe on PC, my friend, I'd give a look at it with you.
Damn you really out here bashing my childhood and current enjoyment, typical SoftDrink lol. Nah man, I agree on the points that you made, This was my first Madden I ever owned and fell in love with the game. It introduced me to my current love of music from B.o.B, Tupac, Alice In Chains, Cypress Hill and Nirvana. Since I found my old Xbox, I got back to playing the game and made some custom teams to make an Ultimate Bracket with my friends. My old high school team are multiple SB champs, fight us lol. Enjoyed the video, I was waiting on this one ✌️
Ah yes, my first Madden. My Grandpa and I actually played this together and I was too young to understand the rules and just loving how hard hitting it was. Every time I would go over and stay there for a few days, we would always play one game. When they were moving out of their old house, he found it. Which was not too long ago and asked if I’d like to have it. Yeah it has that broken feeling, but I’ll always remember it.
Madden 10 was the best of all time Madden 11 was the beginning of The end... Hes only 23 compared to me being almost 40 and having played and owned every Madden ever to that point.. Madden 10 was the best ever
@@vintage3262 I’m only 17, but I agree. My dad had played Madden since they were on arcade machines, (same as you, I assume) and so I’ve played most of them since 05’. When Madden 10 came out, I played hundreds of hours on it. Even when Madden 11, Madden 12, and especially Madden 13 (Madden 13 is the worst Madden) came out I still played Madden 10. The create a team, was my favorite feature.
Still light years better than the trash EA has put out last 5 years. Man, That NFL Music I heard for the first time on an NFL game blue me away. Sam Spence, we miss you. These days are long gone. Great retrospective BTW.
This Madden was so underrated. The presentation was great. I found they slowed the game down and gave it more balance between offense and defense. I found this was the first Madden in awhile to put an emphasis on defense and running making it less arcade-ish.
Collinsworth repeating his lines in game was a decision to make the commentary as realistic as possible.
🤣
Was just missing the iconic “now here’s a guy”

It's the small details that they had back then, what amazed a lot of us. EA was once a competitive and driven company, & it showed.

I still haven't learned that skill after 50+ years on earth. Your videos do this. Good on you bro! Keep them coming. Sorry if I sound like a suck ass but good is good you know?
What about a Madden Wii?
Psalms 18:24
Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Madden 10 was great on PS2
How fucking good are you at madden damn man, I’m on 08 ps2 and it’ll be a struggle vs good defenses
Must disagree. I believe this was the last really great Madden. If you think the game plays slow then adjust the speed slider. Ea stopped caring after this game
So true
This is easily of my favorite maddens cause it’s the first one I played on the wii and lost a lot but had hella fun
It was ok.
Madden was already erasing parts of the Franchise mode since 2009.
This is actually the last Madden that I have played and spent money on.
Exactly because Madden 11 sucked.... That was the start
@@vintage3262 Yup
Madden 2010 the introduction to QB Mechanics and Throwing motion like it was awesome to see all their QB throwing mechanic in the game
You bugging madden 10 was fire head to head
*CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS GAME'S METAL AS FUCK SOUNDTRACK?!?!?!!?!*
Madden 10 was my favorite Madden I played as a kid. Probably because you could create a team filled with all of the NFL legends like Dan Fouts and Walter Payton(my go to QB and RB combo).
I need to see a Bus Jibber franchise in madden 10 pls 😭😭😭😭
As someone who still plays ps2 daily, and has every Madden through 12, 10 was the best IMO. The #1 thing I hated about 12, was everyone had the same fave mask.... idk if it was like that for all consoles, but ps2 it was. And it made me hate 12
Man madden has changed way to much for the worse. Granted they have some newer nice things that are nice to have and of course more recent rosters but I've been fiddling with madden 11 on my ole ps3 and madden 18 that I can play on my ps5.. M18 is pretty decent to. Except they for super lazy with the player stats..
So I popped in madden 23 right before bed and I went into a franchise game. First 2 pass plays I did the qb just stood there and got sacked back to back plays. I notice also in coach mode the qbs don't even move around like madden 18 they were. But ya after those 2 sacks I left to game to make sure coach was on in main menu and it was on coach mode.. Omg.. Ice🎉had this issue before to where the qb just stands there
The best Madden cover ever
Madden 10 is probably my favorite Madden. It's far from perfect but I still like to play it.
Surely Madden 11 is better?
@@AmazonEnforcer maybe but I didn’t grow up with it the same way
I love when no one can actually decide when the downfall of Madden was but it was definitely after the first or second one that they started playing. People online used to talk online about 10 the way we talk about 25 pt2 now. It never changes, regardless of what features are lost or not. Madden is one franchise where no one can actually come to a consensus on when it was great or when it failed but can all agree that the current game of the time is definitely the worst one.
Fight for the fumble (which happen in real games) gang tackling (which happens in real games) qbs throwing out of sacks (which happens in real games) are not in today's game idk training camp mini games might actually have been fun to play (they have training camp in real life and make TV shows about it) I don't understand
Ultimate Team was DLC that came out months after Madden 10 launched.
Madden 10 was awesome. Really tho madden 11 probably my all time favorite. I think I skipped 12 and 13 and stay on 11 for all that time
Softdrink video = a good day
Let’s band together and NOT BUY MADDEN please for thee love of god man
To me Madden 10 was one of the best Maddens made in the 2010s. The slower gameplay really made gameplay feel realistic. I even respect the fight for fumble . The visuals were nice. But the gameplay head to head was pretty nice . Madden 10-12 Gameplay wise was very fun to play in its prime.
cuz it is the only other ones worth comparing it too is 11 or 12
out of 10,11,12 how do you rank them?
@@gamernorcal 10, 12, 11 . 12 had improved on some things from 11.
@@brickmoney4152 agree with your ranking!👍
This was probably my favorite Madden game. On Next-Gen or classic. But you should have had it on PC. Along with the Madden 09 classic maybe next-gen console. With the old school and 3rd generation consoles getting old and breaking down, who would pay for a used Xbox 360 or PS3? No one would. Maybe on PC, my friend, I'd give a look at it with you.
Damn you really out here bashing my childhood and current enjoyment, typical SoftDrink lol. Nah man, I agree on the points that you made, This was my first Madden I ever owned and fell in love with the game. It introduced me to my current love of music from B.o.B, Tupac, Alice In Chains, Cypress Hill and Nirvana. Since I found my old Xbox, I got back to playing the game and made some custom teams to make an Ultimate Bracket with my friends. My old high school team are multiple SB champs, fight us lol. Enjoyed the video, I was waiting on this one ✌️
Also, Madden NFL 10 would be the last Madden where you can create a custom team with rookie version of NFL Legends.
Wait you can do that 😂
my favorite madden ever
What happened to madden seems to be the same thing going on with our country… I think this is a new trend for things
You should do the retrospectives on the college baseball series by ea
Ah yes, my first Madden. My Grandpa and I actually played this together and I was too young to understand the rules and just loving how hard hitting it was. Every time I would go over and stay there for a few days, we would always play one game.
When they were moving out of their old house, he found it. Which was not too long ago and asked if I’d like to have it.
Yeah it has that broken feeling, but I’ll always remember it.
Made 10 on the PS2 is amazing not on the ps3 or 360
Madden 10 will always be my favorite
Madden 10 was the best of all time Madden 11 was the beginning of The end... Hes only 23 compared to me being almost 40 and having played and owned every Madden ever to that point.. Madden 10 was the best ever
@@vintage3262 I’m only 17, but I agree. My dad had played Madden since they were on arcade machines, (same as you, I assume) and so I’ve played most of them since 05’. When Madden 10 came out, I played hundreds of hours on it. Even when Madden 11, Madden 12, and especially Madden 13 (Madden 13 is the worst Madden) came out I still played Madden 10. The create a team, was my favorite feature.
W
reasons why i keep my original xbox
Yup. Still have Madden 06. (And NCAA Football 06, obviously. And Ultimate Spiderman.)
just give us a presentation BACK EA its so boooring now
Back when Madden was still good
Still light years better than the trash EA has put out last 5 years. Man, That NFL Music I heard for the first time on an NFL game blue me away. Sam Spence, we miss you. These days are long gone. Great retrospective BTW.
I like Madden 10 but let me ask anyone this do you guys Madden 10 from Ps2 or Madden from Xbox 360 / Ps3 version?
360
Im so good at boxing, they call me AK41
Let’s go!!! This Madden did some nice things that others failed to do but dropped the ball on other things. This Madden is unique to say the least
This Madden was so underrated. The presentation was great. I found they slowed the game down and gave it more balance between offense and defense. I found this was the first Madden in awhile to put an emphasis on defense and running making it less arcade-ish.
