I don't think we'll ever get all of that in a Madden game. They're starting to work towards it, but I don't think it'll happen fully without some kind of competition. But at this point, whenever the licensing agreement expires with the NFL, it might be too late for a new comer to jump in and try to do something.Originally Posted by jaymo76
I'm personally really excited for Madden. They really focused on the online portion of the game this year and making everything quicker, so I'm definitely eager to give it a try.
Madden 11 demo out now on XBL, later today on PSN.
If you play it, make sure to share your thoughts with the community.
Will do, probably won't have it dl'd until late evening depending when and how long it takes
Madden NFL 2011 Soundtrack Sacks Your Ears with Over 20 Songs
http://playstationlifestyle.net/2010...over-20-songs/
Every year, millions of NFL fans run to their local Gaming store of choice to pickup the newest and improved Madden game. Ever year, thousands of bands do their damnest to be included on the EA Trax soundtrack, because hey, even Ill admit, Ive bought a few CDs due to a song being played a million times while I got my game on. This years latest slew of songs is a bit of a change though. Gone is the mix of indie and well known rock, as this year its being replaced with a nice mix of classic rock, a bit of rap, covers of some famous tunes, and even a few teams fight songs. Oh yeah, Madden fans get ready to rock this August 10th with this soundtrack as we have all 23 songs for you to check out.
Spoiler: show
I only got to play Madden for a quarter before I turned it off and got my NCAA OD game in before work. I liked what I saw. It's Madden and it's pretty much what we expect. I saw a nice diving catch animation over the middle.
Gameflow - Eh... I might use it every now and then, i didn't really miss with it, but I'd rather just pick my own plays.
The Strategy Pad - It will just take some getting used to. It seems like the biggest problem with it, is the CPU QB once again snap the ball too quickly, so you don't have time to make any adjustments.
One thing I did notice. I got a ton more stat pop ups in one quarter of Madden then I do in a whole game of NCAA.
I'm still looking forward to Madden, if I can get it early I will and I am looking forward to getting our league going.
I have PS3 so I haven't played yet BUT there is a lot of discussion over GAMEFLOW. For the people who have played the demo, do you like this feature? And second, is it fait accompli that NCAA 12 will have the gameflow feature next year? I get the feeling that is how the series will progress...
I didn't like it when I played it at the NFL Draft. Then started to like it, then a few games later got sick of it. Ended up turning that off, along with the coordinator audio going back to old school.
So if I said that I've got a super early copy, would you hate me?
And no, before you ask, I can't get you one. It was a one copy deal with a friend at a movie rental place (which got them RETARDED early).
I'm actually kinda scared to play it because even though it's a legit copy, it's crazy early and I'm a bit worried that I'll get my xbox banned for playing it this early...
Alot of people have the downloaded version for xbox a few days ago.
True, but they also usually have banned consoles anyway so it doesn't matter to them.
Congrats on getting a copy early. I would love to be able to find a game this early.
I don’t care for Gameflow in my short time with it. I’d rather just call my own plays.
I haven't been following the Madden 11 buildup. What (if anything) different in terms of Game Play and Franchise Mode did Madden do this year? I'm aware of Game Flow and the changes that also made NCAA 11 but am otherwise clueless as to what the big deal is this year.
I have two 360s and one of them is banned (modded) So I have Madden 11. It's over rated. trust me
This is after only one game on pro difficulty, so take it with a grain of salt, but color me unimpressed. The whole thing just felt slow and tedious, and Gus Johnson's pro wrassling announcing style does absolutely nothing for me.
I'll try again later with tweeked settings, but right now it is my opinion that NCAA 11 blows Madden out of the water.
What do you guys think of the Strategy Pad? From surfing around, it seems that is the biggest complaint with the demo.
The only problem I have with it is that I'm forced to memorize two different methods of making the same adjustments when playing Madden/NCAA. Imo that's not a good thing.
It didnt need much IMO but the addition of all that is Locomotion to be honest with you.
If WR's act similar to the way they do on NCAA (which means are aware of the ball being thrown high, slightly behind them, etc) then I will have no complaints.
The D-pad "issue" won't be a problem to me and I could care less about Offline or Online franchise additions/changes as I don't play either.
GameFlow and Online Team Play are the two major unique additions (compared to NCAA) this year.
I'm still so dissapointed with ZERO franchise updates/changes. For offline only players who are loyal to a series, it's a real slap in the face. I will continue to play Madden 10 because "gameflow" just isn't worth $69.99 (Canadian price...).
