Re: IGN Final Impressions

Wow! Come on now. It wasn't perfect, but the weekly show was better than nothing. I like the new locomotion, and Gus, but I'm just at a loss at some of the creative choices that have been made this year.

Another fact that's certainly going to enrage Madden diehards out there is that the Online Franchise, Offline Franchise, and Superstar modes are all untouched from last year's game. In fact, the Franchise Mode even had the NFL Network's weekly show and halftime presentation removed from this year's game (or at least I haven't been able to find how to turn them on). I understand that the main goal was to streamline the experience, but I think some will miss the presentation element.

Re: IGN Final Impressions

I cant help but wonder how much 360 disk space affects stuff like this. Because I def see no other reason to remove it.

It seems like EA has one track minds (with most of their games) tho...work on A, leave B alone....work on B the next game, dont improve A any....i feel like a little time can be contributed to some things...just a little.

I know I saw this as well...Kind of a bummer. even though it wasnt much it did add a little to franchise mode

"but all I had to do to fix it was organize my own playbook (and yes, you can have multiple playbooks) within the Gameplanning feature to remedy the situation."

I know they have talked about game planning extensively, but I never knew you could use multiple teams playbooks to create 1 gameplan or am I just reading this wrong?

I think he means you can have more than one playbook saved (all from one team's playbook though) So if you use different ones for different opponents

So all 1 gameplan from the Bengals, all 1 from Steelers, but not combined? The guy just worded it confusing IMO. I am not quite sure how that remedy's the situation, whereas multiple playbooks in 1 gameplan might actually help more.

To my understanding from previous information I have read

All I could do was laugh and shake my damn head at this one:

Re: IGN Final Impressions

Weekly show is for sure in the game,IGN are a bit clueless.

Re: IGN Final Impressions

WOW!

Well I knew Id be buying used but this is pushing me to not even buy it used.

Im starting to think Madden 10 is better than Madden 11

Proof? I'm hoping the guy was just too stupid to press the Y button at the end of each week.

Im starting to think Madden 10 is better than Madden 11

I don't know how you can say that after playing the demo.

Re: IGN Final Impressions

In the other thread "no weekly show", someone who has the game says that it is in franchise. You have to press 'y' or something to bring it up. That's something at least, but I have to question the value of the rest of the review considering it implies that the reviewer has been playing the game a good bit.
