Though, IIRC those games came when using GameFlow. Not sure if the CPU has had a huge day with conventional play-calling.

I play on ALL PRO in the demo but ADDAI has been brutal against the Jets D. Greene did have one game where he hit 100+ because of a big run. Overall though I just haven't seen great cpu run O. However, maybe it's the demo teams and how they match up. I assume if I use my Raiders my DL would get lit up pretty good.

IIRC, I was using the Raiders when those big games occurred along with GameFlow. You are probably correct. :) Some tweaks are probably necessary, but maybe not as huge as first thought.

Could I possibly bug someone with the game to record a standard ranked match? It would also be cool if you could also capture the online menus and interface. Huge thanks to anyone if they decide to do so.

I'm away from the game the next couple days, but I didn't have any luck connecting to play JB the other night. Not sure if servers weren't fully functional or if it was a problem with my connection or a combination of the two.

Did anyone ever find out what the patch they put had in it?

Dirty uniforms....every site says something different. A few people say yes, a few people say no, a few people say yes BUT only for cut scenes.... does anyone actually know the answer?

I don't think they have announced, but I'm guessing/hoping they will by launch.

Just read the review at OS.... they gave Madden 11 a 9/10 (SENSATIONAL). Hey I like the demo but a 9? Really?

IGN has given the game an 8/10

Here is the video link: http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/36265...dr_080610.html

Just read the Destructoid review... they give the game a 9.5??? How does ZERO franchise improvements grant a 9.5? These scorse seem way too high

Edit: After reading all the different impressions I will say that IGN's sounds the most accuracte (based on the demo). I'm not an IGN fan but an 8 sounds very realistic as the other reviews are just too, too, high for ZERO franchise changes.

I guess its more or less based on gameplay changes in regards to Locomotion, WR catch tuning, lighting and sound improvements, etc

For the most part I don't think Franchise mode is a deal breaker to most. 8.5/10 and 9/10 I could see honestly.

The official OS Madden review was really bad. It didn't have anything of substance and very few critical comments. Almost seemed like they cut and pasted the back of the box comments into the review or let EA write it themselves. I know OS is impartial and I know some of the mods there don't like the review either. They did a second review that was more balanced. The original Madden reviewer is a new writer and I don't think he really knows what he is doing. This is not an attack on the 9/10 score. It's just that the review offered almost nothing in depth. I expect that from a crappy video game site just covering the annual Madden release, not OS who should be doing the best sports reviews on the planet.

The OS NCAA review was much better. Praise, criticism and in depth comments.

I didn't know that the reviewer was a newb... is he also a newb to Madden??? The reason I can't buy into the review is because I gave NCAA 8.5 and I think it's a top three in the series but Madden only really improved gameplay... but a GAME is based on the experience, not just the gameplay. If gameplay is great but franchise mode is dull then what's the point?

I don't see how not doing anything to Franchise should demote it's score. They made a bunch of supposed gameplay improvements, beefed up the online portion of the game(THANK YOU), and added new commentary on top of a bunch of things. Granted, I haven't played it yet, but it's a little silly to lower it's score just because they didn't make improvements to Franchise mode, especially since it's pretty good to begin with.

what can they add to franchise ? the only valid thing would be if you actually use salary cap- to have the AI take care of stuff for you if it says your over because youre spending all day trying to release players and than it says- not enough players- its stupid
