Madden NFL 10
Madden NFL 10 est sorti le 13 août 2009 sur PlayStation 3 et Xbox 360. Développé par EA Orlando et édité par EA Sports, ce titre de simulation sportive propose une expérience qui s'appuie sur le jeu en ligne, avec un nouveau mode Franchise en ligne permettant de gérer les trente-deux équipes de la ligue, des drafts dans le plus pur style NFL et une page web personnalisée pour chaque ligue. La présentation broadcast, poussée plus loin que dans les opus précédents, cherche à retranscrire l'ambiance des matchs du dimanche.
L'accueil critique a été globalement favorable : la presse a salué le jeu, ZTGD le qualifiant d'ajout fantastique à la série et Planet Xbox 360 le considérant comme le meilleur jeu de la franchise. Du côté des joueurs, les avis sont plus contrastés : si certains apprécient le rythme effréné et l'action du titre, d'autres regrettent l'absence de certaines fonctionnalités présentes dans les épisodes antérieurs. Le jeu affiche une note agrégée de 71.68 sur Metacritic.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« A fantastic addition to the series, and quite possibly the best football game ever created. »
« Easily and by far the all-together best game of the franchise. »
« Overall Madden 10 is a great football experience for anyone who doesn’t have animosity for EA and isn’t a fan boy of the former competitor. »
« In the end Madden 10 is the kind of game that I am willing to look past the shortcomings because what’s good is really, really good. It’s worth putting up with the faults in order to experience what works. »
« So whether you’ve played Madden year after year, or have been a hold out since the 2K franchise’s demise, all fans of the pigskin will be happy to hear that this is the Madden to own no matter who you are. Not only is this the best representation of the franchise to date, but is quite possibly the best football title to date. »
« There's a noticeable focus on keeping you actively involved in the game and it's an effort that succeeds in spades. »
« Madden 10 eclipses last-year’s effort in content, realism and value. Gameplay? Well, that’s more of a wash when compared to last year, and gameplay holds a lot of weight. »
« If you rarely play online or have a slow Internet connection and hate micro-managing, stop reading now and go buy last year's game instead. If you don't fit into either of those molds, then this will be the most satisfying experience playing virtual sports ever. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« In my previous review, I bashed this installment. mentioning it was better than the Wii version, but not by much. I based that review purely on the Superstar mode, which I still believe isn't the best. But after playing franchise mode, I take back everything I said about the game. It really brings you back to the old Madden. (Old as in 2004-2008) It's very Nostalgic to long time players whom have played the newer Maddens. »
« This is a very fun, fast paced, action packed game, but not your typical shoot'em action. It is very fun, but there are little features from the previous maddens that bring this down a little like just giving your character stats instead of playing the game and seeing how good the PLAYER is. The superstar menu is boring just like a regular menu and doesn't have the little things like personas or pro-bowl ballots. The multiplayer doesn't work either because EA is to cheap to keep anything up for long. I bet they're preparing to shut down Battlefield Bad Company 2' s servers down right now, which is still a really good game. »
« Madden 10 is over all the best madden ever, but playing against the computer in madden mode is a complete joke!!!!!!! wide receivers can't catch the computer intercepts almost ever throw!!! it totally ridiculous »
« Great game. Definitely better than 09 and the earlier games. Movement is good, the overall flow of the game is good. There is some issues with the momentum and how you can go for a tackle facing the opposite direction and it will teleport your character to the ball carrier sometimes. Great game overall. »
« It's pretty standard. Not much different from all of the other games. The multiplayer is pretty bad because you will get disconnected from lobbies too much and it's not too enjoyable. I also don't like you can't play 2v2. The superstar mode is just horrible. My ego is always big headed and they will start you as a starter even if you're a rookie, which I suppose would be funner than not playing at all. It's just not really too realistic. It's an OK football game and probably the best for it's time, but not very good. It's a buy if you want a football game, but it's far from amazing. »
« The usual detractors will claim nothing has changed, but this is as close to a revolutionary shift in direction that Madden has received in nine years. And it works. »
« Way way to slow. Madden 10 I have to say is pretty sloppy on Xbox and Wii. The franchise mode is terrible and the gameplay is crappy, madden moments is pretty cool though. »
