Madden 10 for iPhone!!!!!

Here's my .02, and with a disclaimer: I'm a passionate EASports/Madden HATER. I haven't bought an NFL game other than AP2K8 since NFL 2k5. I play it each year so I can say I did, and go back to my updated rosters on my 360 and my 2k10 season. That being said.. .

The mobile version doesn't play like the console versions, and that's GREAT. I like how the passing game isn't a gimme. The CPU does adapt pretty realistically, so far as I play thru. Graphics better than 2010.

Here's all you need to know, and why you go buy this now: You take a pass play, you hit the Hot Route button, and you DRAW your receiver's new route, like on a telestrator or chalk/whiteboard. And it work's effin' AWESOME.

That is all.

You put your finger on the screen, draw a little line there and BOOM! throw it to the receiver.

Madden on consoles has made me mad because EA has been putting the special kids on the Wii version to make it special person friendly. The more cartoonish, the better. Oy.

This mobile version seems to be pretty good for the $8 I spent. It's definitely another good time-waster extraordinaire. This seems to be a very good "I'm mobile and I want to play football" game. This is a game that would be perfect to lead to development of a good external controller that fits around the phone. The on-screen controls are good, but you're taking up real estate. EA, build a darn accessory!
 
Ok I can't believe they didn't add any online or LAN competitive/coop modes... If a game like F.A.S.T. can have online, I see no reason why a company like EA with their vast resources couldn't do it on a premier title like Madden...

I guess maybe we can get it in an update or next year...

It will be coming in an update, along with other features. They wanted the single player done in time for the kickoff.

Oh good. I was wondering... Another little bug I noticed is that looking at my team's stats over the season I always have the best defense and the worst offense. Now my defense is pretty awesome but my offense has like a 8.5 yds per down average. This leads me to believe that even though I am playing 3 minute quarters it is simulating the other teams with 7 minute quarters.. Otherwise, I don't think it is possible that my team would be last in offense...

I'll be glad to play some real people online because the AI isn't anywhere near as good as the console versions...

The AI isn't any good because there aren't any difficulty settings. What baffles me is Madden released a game with no difficulty settings and no play clock. How the heck did they leave those out?

I think I've read somewhere that stats aren't scaled properly.

The lack of a play clock is serious. I've just waited and wound a clock down in one game for a win. Crazy
 
This is definitely their first try at it. It looks like it was built specifically for the iPhone/iPod touch. Which is good. But there are definitely bugs to be worked out. Over time I think it'll become really good, they're off to a decent start. In coming updates I hope they'll work out some of their problems.

For the $7.99 I paid for it, now bad.

Oh cool. I was wondering how the computer could do no huddle but I couldn't. Still, it is pretty worthless without the ability to audible. If the AI was any good it would destroy you.

Too bad I like to run no huddle a lot Colts style.

Another thing is that its ridiculous what some of the free agents cost. I picked up Marvin Harrison for like 300k and he's better than any of the receivers on my team (Dallas). It seems like you could reconstruct your team to have some of the best players in the league quite easily.

If you run HB Pitch weak you will get like 8-10 yards at minimum every play. Also, I was stupid at first and didn't realize that if you wait until a receiver is green you will complete the pass 80% of the time. They should do away with the colored (red, yellow, green) receiver indicators. It makes passing too easy. I still think the game is good because it looks and plays like Madden but the computer is too easy to destroy once you've played a while.
