Five Essential Fixes for Madden NFL 11

[jfsolo]

For me personally, none of these five are essential. The depth chart is the only one of these that might make my top 15.

WOW, that would be the LAST 5 things I would worry about.

Try:

Blocking
Tackling (bye bye "pro-tac")
Player awareness (ball awareness, sideline awareness, etc.)
All routes over the middle are always open
More ANIMATIONS

I could go on forever, buy your list is right up there with colored cleats on the importance scale.

Who cares about announcers and substitutions when the game play is a mess? Oh wait I know, about 90% of the people who purchase Madden. I take it all back, your list is right

Wow it's extremely sad that one of the main writters and reviewers On OS thinks that the gameplay(Which is most Important) Doesn't need a lot of workAlmost everything mentioned is presentation wise. To me one of the most important things is animations.Fix the gameplay!!! It's the bigest problem with the game. Maybe this is why Madden team thinks they have a great game.

I agree with this WakeUNC.. F*&$ the 5 essential fix for Madden 11, Fix the core of the game first!

Running animation, Run Blocking, Pass rush, DB animations, and most important the AI! Fix these things first before fluffing the game.. IF these things don't get fixed, all the extra fluff is worth nothing. Fix Fix Fix the Core, or better yet change the Game Engine..

Agree 100%.

Not meaning to be rude...but if this "Essential fixes" was the main focus for Madden '11', I'll sit out another year.

I agree completely NYG...the core AI fixes that are needed, should keep the dev team just too busy to worry about more fluff additions. Of course just my opinion.
