Madden11-My initial thoughts

[daniverson1973]

I spent about 5 hours playing and dabbling with the new Madden11 last night (this morning).

What I like:

Gus Johnson is so refreshing
enhanced presentation is cool
obviously-updated player rosters/ratings/pics

What I dislike:

what happened to the extra point in franchise mode? i loved that...
i was really hoping they'd add to it
not crazy about the music, but not a big deal, usually gets old in a week anyway...
gameflow-cant say i dislike it too much, but i much more prefer choosing my own plays, than gameflow for the sake of speeding up the game


OVERALL

I like it, give it 7/10 **so far**
i still have to experiment with ncaa draft class importing to see if they improved that function at all, if so, it may go to an 8 or even 9/10

I'm a big franchise-sim guy with madden, I simulate more than I play the game, so i was disappointed with no added features, if anything, it seems like the developers scaled down franchise mode for the sake of the intro-presentation (when you first load the game) and game flow and some extra in-game graphic enhancements

Again, I do like it, but the madden monopoly has to end at some time, at least with other official pro sports VG, we have options other than just one game to choose from
