As I normally turn the announcer off as I like to feel more like I am actually playing the game, with this game I do not have to do that. The commentators have more varied speech and while you may hear repeats it is not as apparent as it was years ago. Bam!!!

There are some commentary glitches but they are few and far between. The one that comes to mine is on occasion they will refer to a great play by the star receiver on the team, while the 3rd string guy is the one who made the play. This is also noted in a touchdown celebration as sometimes the guy that scores the TD is not the one shown celebrating the catch, but rather the star wide receiver of the team. Just a small thing, but hey thats what I get paid to notice right.

Graphically speaking Madden 10 is a huge, and I mean huge improvement over last year's game. From opening shots of the outside of the stadium, to the coaches on the side lines before and after game. Tackles look more realistic and the ball carriers fall in a more realistic way. I never saw what I like to call the "shot out of a cannon affect", where all of a sudden the player is on his back with no animation on the tackle. Now the tackles appear to all be followed thru. The player models are more realistic as a short running back is now more visibly noticable when running by the offensive line. The catches also appear more realistic with the "velcro affect" being reduced. No more balls going thru the arms of defenders and no more throwing the control in frustration as the ball you saw go thru your defender is caught for a defender.
