Madden NFL 11 Review

[brza37]

Two questions about things mentioned in the review:

"EA Tiburon has added custom stadium theme music for each stadium."
Can users customize the custom stadium sounds like in NCAA? Or are the sounds set in the game and non-changeable by us?

"On the Playstation 3, replays have been cut short and there is no actual halftime show. It is more like a group of quick highlights of the first half. While it’s not a huge negative, the added detail of a quality halftime show can immerse you in the game."
Does that mean that on Xbox there is a halftime show?

Same reason folks that like the game call folks that don't like it, haters. Look at your wording. Naysayers?

Im sorry how is game a 9 when franchise mode and superstar mode haven't really been touch. Dont get me wrong the gameplay and graphics are 8.5 in my book. But Franchise and Superstar is a 7.5 at best. They havent improve franchise which by the way I play alot in sports games. So im scratching my head at this 9 score when one of the most important core of the game is untouch.

I understand and agree, but this review, based on other reviews, isn't that far off, in fact, number wise, it's in the neighborhood.

Others have rated it 9.0, 9,1 and 9.5 on top of this 9. It's ran the gamut from 8.0 to 9.5.

Last time I checked Ian was not the only "EA" employee that posted on this site. You do know that right.....right.....right......now come to that defense.

^^^^

As I said in the last sentence, a majority of the employees from EA this year just posted links to their blogs.

It's not about defending, it's about stating facts.

Can the reviewer or someone please confirm this?

On the PS3, it says that the replays have been cut short. The no halftime show, is that for both the PS3 and 360 or just PS3? Is it like NCAA where we see clips at the end of the game?
