Judging from the reviews so far....

[bears5122]

It's the highest rated sports console game in the last year on OS. I wouldn't say it's getting negative reviews at all, or even mediocre. They have it as a better game than The Show, FIFA, NHL, and NBA 2K. The Show has been the pinnacle of sports gaming here for years and it beat that.

I haven't seen your impressions.... do you even own the game?

If u want to get an opinion read the OS review and look at the impressions thread. That convinced me to purchase. No reviewer is going to look for things like this forum, if there's a glitch this board will find it. I couldn't understand their methodsat first but thanks to the mods u know ure getting legit info, so that to me is what I base it off of. This board is a specialty board unlike game informer and ign who review a game for a bit and it's on to the next one.

Its gotten higher reviews than 10, so I don't see how the reviews are bad.

I'm sure i can adjust the sliders accordingly and make the defense catch up with the offense. They also talk about the annoyance of the strategy pad. Does anyone know if this can be turned off and replaced by the old way. I thought i read somewhere ian said it would be up to the player as to the style they would use. Another issue is the play action passing. This is something that hopefully can be fixed with a patch. It is no doubt disappointing that they basically left franchise untouched. But they supposedly fixed sim stats, which is a big plus. As long as the gameplay is enjoyable i can see myself playing thru several seasons before starting over again. I already traded in madden 10 when i bought red dead, so i'm basically forced to buy. But in all honesty, i would've prolly bought it anyway. It sounds like the gameplay is improved and thats the most important thing. It's just a shame they can't fix things that have been bothering gamers for years now. I want to be able to put my best corner and have him on the best wr the whole game, regardless of where he lines up. U could do this on ps2 in the past!!!

you can do this in madden 11

LMAO! im gonna sig this

madden 11 is the best madden to date because of the gameplay. on default all-pro the game is too offensive so until they patch the DB coverage, i think alot of OS'ers will hate playing online. you will have high scoring games most of the time online.

I don't get my copy till tomorrow but it is interesting read to see all these reviews coming in....I kind of set my expectation low so that way I dont get too burned.
