The reason the marketing guys will not allow them to talk about it is because these thinhgs has not been put into the game yet. If they should say what was going into the game before it gets in. Then at the last min. that feature could not be added because some reason. Then is could cause big problems with fans. We will get all the info over the next 6 months. Just wait.

Thanks for the video blog, its better than nothing and we get to meet the team.

# 23 Lava @ 02/07/10 08:25 PM

Nice video. I would've liked to see more in the way of specific topics being addressed, but it's still very early.

# 24 Atomic Martian @ 02/07/10 08:25 PM

did you guys miss the white board at 5 03 new defensive packages including the packers Physco yeah Baby !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! way sneak in some info IAN

# 25 WG5516 @ 02/07/10 08:26 PM

Cool video. It's cool to see who actually makes the game. Ian looks like a porn star with that hair but I digress. I'm looking forward to what they have in store for the game this year.

# 26 SouthernBrick @ 02/07/10 08:29 PM

Didn't expect much. Nothing to important.

IMO Its not really worth watching.

As I expected...people hating on anything that comes from ea. Just buy Backbreaker and you will never have to PRAY to be proven wrong by EA!

About what I was expecting. Having a blast in my online franchise so I can be patient.

Maybe I'm reading to much into it, but do you think crowd volume/chants on this site (http://doritoschangethegame.com/index.html) is a sign of atmosphere upgrades in 11?

# 29 Cubfan @ 02/07/10 08:45 PM

The blog was better then the half time show. Really didn't learn anything new about Madden 11. Still plenty of time to see whats new.

# 30 BobbyColtrane @ 02/07/10 08:45 PM

My impression - thats wonderful now please fix the flipping sim stats

# 31 Valdarez @ 02/07/10 08:48 PM

I couldn't see past Ian's bangs. When I did, saw a bunch of old guys, and a highly caffeinated ratings czar.

Mark Turmell's board had 'regulate frustration' on it.

Steve pretty much summed up the vid, not sure what else there is to report on it.

Keep in mind there's a difference between accessibility (making it easier for people to pick up the game and play it) and sim/arcade. You can have a realistic game and still make it easier for people to pick it up and play it, or pick it up and learn how to play it.

What are Sim Stats? I just hope they make the OF have more user controls and more depth. I'm still enjoyin M10(In th ACQB Online Franchise) and will be rocking M11 when it drops.

After the qb passing cone blog last year, not quite sure I trust Ian to 'give us' something to pause and view. There were way too many white boards easily accessible there. They had to be planted just to mess with us.

2nd board really didn't look like anything. Wasn't UML, User Stories, nothing. EA's internal design language? I think Ian referred to it as 'gibberish'.

# 35 Brandwin @ 02/07/10 08:55 PM

LOL what did you guys expect?

Bro just chill out ok. I wasn't directing it straight to you. I was just making a point in general. I knew what you was meaning.

Then when I think theyre going to introduce new features theyre attempting to make all they say is theyre planning on improving authenticity... No ****! I would have never guessed. They should apologize for wasting 8 minutes of my life. Nothing about updating the online rosters or player progression. Im so pissed off. This is such bull. Worthless video. Update the online franchise you worthless team of morons.

Anyone else want to try their luck?

# 40 RGiles36 @ 02/07/10 09:15 PM

A little underwhelmed, but Ian let us know from jump street it wouldn't be too significant.

Still some nuggets that I came away with:

-More equipment to be added! I'm all for gameplay and franchise, but I love the little things too. Hopefully mouthpieces and flaks have found their way in.

-They're not satisfied with presentation/commentary. That was music to my ears b/c they still have a ways to go in this area. It was much improved in M10, but many things to add and tighten up.

All in all, though I used the word underwhelming, the blog brought about a feeling of optimism. I expect good things for M11
