Madden NFL 11 Questions, Answers, and Discussion Thread Part II (PS3 and 360)

Has there been any news as to whether the generic pre-game glitch for Franchise will be fixed in the forthcoming patch? Pastapadre has mentioned it, but basically you don't get the unique entrances in franchise mode that the same two teams in exhibition would generate.

yep, no answers all, oh well.

So, I have a few questions about the new game. 1: Is franchise mode fixed? I love creating a new team with crappy players so I'd have a high draft position for a few years and so I can build my team. However, in Madden 11, it seemed impossible. No matter how bad my team was, I'd always finish 7-9 or 8-8. It was mainly because no matter how bad you DEs (in a 4-3) or OLBs (in a 3-4) are, they ALWAYS get double digit sacks. Pair that with the game reverting to the horrible running engine where running backs would consistently run for 2000 yards, and Madden 10 was awful if you wanted realistic results. Has Madden 11 made a step in the right direction for this? 2: Is the draft system in Madden 11 made more difficult? I loved the fact that Madden 10 tried to make the draft more realistic, with high projected prospects not being talented and with late round gems. However, it was still too easy because: 1. The players with the most potential on the draft scouting screen usually end up being late round projections but still end up having A potential. and 2. The pentagon thing for each draftee's bio showed you how talented they are and thus, it's easy to see if they're good or bad. The system wasn't great, but it was certainly a move in the right direction. Have they made it any better since last year? 3: Is superstar mode even in the game anymore? I remember when Madden 07 came out with the new superstar mode, and it was so much fun. I loved the immersion factor of it, and it was definitely cool. Seeing Madden 09 strip it down a bit disappointed me, but then seeing Madden 10's version made me really mad. Really, all you could do was play games and practice. You couldn't even retire on your own! Does Madden 11 even bother with this one anymore? Any help appreciated.

As for franchise mode--I started a season last night with a cupcake team, added a 99 OVR scrambling QB, and I played the first game and simmed the rest--my record at the end of the year was 0-16.

I can't really tell you about the draft because I haven't done it yet.

For superstar mode, yeah, it's the same old crappy mode as 10.

Ok, a few questions here.......I am not an avid madden player this is the first one i've bought in a few years.

1. I amone who likes to create teams amnd my own players and put them in my dynasties........I want to know why is it that the create a team on here is so bland?? 2 uniforms no alts only like 8 logos to choose from.....for a company who has alll that money why not put some effort into this??

2. Why is superstar mode even in the game still? They put effort into it at firast now it's just a crapshoot.

3.Anyone know when there is going to be another update?? Its hard to keep up with?

4. Who is ready for Monday Night Football!!! Wooo!!

Can someone tell me the effects of stadium upgrades?
I mean you dont see the effects in the game, so why should i even waste money on buying an upgrade?

I noticed something interesting on the teams rosters, there are teams that have only one player in the position of center, but if my team has two centers and I try to take one of them, I'm told I can not have just one player in this position on my team.

Are the depth charts close to accurate for the teams? If not, is their a place with that information is consolidated? Thanks in advance.
