Madden NFL 11 Video: Developer Series - All About Gameplay

[Skyboxer]

Like what I'm seeing so far. Love this time of year.
Of course I realize it's just a game...(plus I don't have a computer programming degree like most in this thread)

Hey Pacman- I couldn't agree more with you. The problem is this game is now really starting to look stale to people. I think the biggest reason is the over all look of the player models and the way they walk and run. Maybe this locomotion thing was something they had to add first before really getting into the true physics based aspects of the game.

Since we got something new to choose from finally and can import the NFL teams in a minute this may be the first year in a while I pass on Madden. I'm guessing I'm not alone on this one as well. Plus NCAA is finally looking different & better. I may get that game instead. God I love choice!

I know, when you follow a series for a long time it starts to sound comical.

What is up with Ian's personality or lack there of lol? He seems miserable as all hell. Kinda like he wanted to focus on different things this year but got the shaft and now has to talk up stuff that he feels we aren't going to take great notice in even though it may be huge improvements. Just a thought.

"It doesn't matter what your presentation is, it doesn't matter what your franchise is if your gameplay's not there."

Not sure how you got anything about them updating franchise out of that statement??

[Hova57]

i think you guys are all overreacting they have already stated that only one site is going to review the game. and E3 is where we usually get franchise info. they are obviously keeping things under wraps for a reason.

This video is BS!!!

What "NEW" gameplay changes were exposed? They just talked about all of the features/additions from previous videos/blogs.... No new changes were in this video.

Madden 11 looks to be a minimal jump in regards to gameplay additions....

So, EA fixes it and... you're still mad. Because it should've always been there. It's there this year, but that isn't good enough. They can't exactly jump in a time machine and fix it in past games.

Proof positive that EA cannot win on OS. They fix something that people complain about and screw 'em, it should've always been that way.

I'm sorry but something as simple as a lineman knowing their assignment shouldn't even have to be mentioned. I don't often complain, either.
