Re: Madden NFL 11 Screenshots and First Details (IGN)

if that is what madden 11 is going to look like i am not impressed
first the field still looks washed out ? were are the dark colors ? or the different types of fields and there own unique look.

both madden and ncaa suffer from cartoonish look with washed out colors and too dark. pop in all pro that is what the uniforms and dynamic lighting should look like.


the ball still looks off too big and plastic looking
the bodies look the same and by the animation they showed us my guess is the running mechanics will not be improved.
.00001 chance i buy it.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Screenshots and First Details (IGN)

No i didnt expect something crazy for 1st release of info but i also didnt expect something that they said was in the game 2 years ago. I expected them to maybe mention something about the playbooks or something along those lines but this is something that should have been in a long time ago.

I don't see this as just "we are fixing problems with sideline catching". This sounds much more like it's for multiple situations. You can always make something better than how it was previously so the "I heard it all before" mindset isn't the same as mines.

And people complain about stuff not being in because a lot of it is stuff that was either in or should be in by now that was either removed or still hasn't been added.

When they tell us about something like this years ago, and finally now actually get it in the game, we have a right to be pissed. I shouldn't sit back and say well at least they finally got it in. Thats just a piss poor job and laziness by them for saying it was in before but only now getting it right.

I guess I was just raised differently then lol. I will get mad if something isn't added and if it is taking a long time for it to be added but when it is finally added, while I may think "it's about time", I'm not going to get mad. I mean really... what's the point? If you are going to act the same way as you did before then they might as well not even put it in the game.

I had the same attitude you do for the past few years. I sat back, waited for the good stuff, bought into the little things they were saying to us and thinking that was a sign that they were really moving in the right direction but 5 years later we still have a mediocre football game.

That's all subjective. While M10 does have problems I don't find it to be mediocre. It took a lot of leaps and was the first Madden this gen that I played franchise mode for more than one season.

MLB the Show has baseball done right, NBA 2k10 has basketball done right, Fifa has soccer done right, yet the most popular game in the U.S. and we're still stuck with a mediocre representation from what is supposed to be one of the top developers for one of the biggest franchises around. There is no excuse for EA to continue putting out such a mediocre football game, none.

All those games still have problems... NBA 2k10 definitely (I have that game). I guess what I don't get is how people find issues with Madden 10 but yet at the same time are so hard pressed to find issues with other games or games in the past that are viewed as "some of the greatest sports games of all time".

Ditto, I don't care if they're just screens or not. That looks like same ugly animation that is in Madden '10. I'm not even buying the game until I see some fluid animations and not robotic looking animations. 2k5 still has better animations, why can't we do better in 2010? I just don't understand.

Am I one of the few people here that is not judging madden 11 already on the first bit of info we just got today. Why do I get the feeling that Ian and Phil be finshed with posting here this year around before they get started. I'm sure Ian is already scanning OS post and deciding wheather to post here this year are avoid OS altogether and just post on twitter instead. I wouldn't blame him one bit. People need to layoff and relax and allow Ian to come on here and interact with us without been mobbed by people who are unhappy about madden and the info we are getting. Please people chill out and don't judge on the first bit of info you see please.

Not to encourage negativity, but I feel where he's coming from. The last good Madden was 05 and I haven't bought one since then. It's like waiting on a person that's running late and when they show up it's like, "About time!" You know how it is, man.

Nostalgia!


While 05 was good, I don't get how ones could say "I'm sick of suction issues, sick of super DB's, etc." when 05 had these issues much worse than 10 does.

Graphics look like they took a hit to me, hopefully that means the sidelines and crowds got some much needed attention this year.

Any info in March is good for me.

Really? Graphics actually look the same to me. No real improvement but we'll see how things really are once more pics start to pop up.

Ditto, I don't care if they're just screens or not. That looks like same ugly animation that is in Madden '10.

Were those pics .gifs?

Talk is cheap. Not being a troll, just calling it like it is.

There was a blog on the very same subject last year and we saw nothing but problems with this in the game.

I need more than a blog and screens to prove this works and works well.

Why do I get the feeling that Ian and Phil be finshed with posting here this year around before they get started. (

Umm, maybe because they haven't posted here since October or something like that.

I'm with you panther. I definitely see the direction madden is going in and Im excited. So far they have already started to address a couple things I've wanted them to check out already just with this little bit of info we've got.

[NavigatorD83]

I wish they would make all the animations more realistic. Also we need more creative options I really like that Ncaa is letting you do the one arm sleeve this year. Finally. And please can we have throw back team color equipment like light blue for Denver, C'mon man

WTF? lol, I'm not trying to pick on you, man. I promise I'm not, but C'mon lol. They said almost the exact same thing last year. Oh and for the record, there's a 91.354% chance that I'm going to buy the game.

[NavigatorD83]

We're gonna get more info tomorrow

lol honestly, with there no other real football games with actual real player names on their back, and the positive direction I definitely see that they are heading toward..Its 100% I'll be getting the game. But Nah, I know your not picking on me lol, i just wanted to make sure I was clear in my post lol.

Heres to a great madden '11

Really!!! I could swear in the past 2 weeks I saw a few posts on here by Ian lol. But yea bro I understand what you are saying. They have not post on any madden news since madden 10 came out last august. But the thing is Ian said on his twitter sometime back about wheather he would come bout to OS after some these people on here getting to personal with him. I think there is a fine line between complaining about things in the game that need to get fixed and all. And then people on here going beyond that and attacking Ian on a personal level and all. It seems from some of these post I have seen so far. It would seem some of these people could get to personal on Ian and Phil if they was to post on here and all. That is my guess and opinion. But I am sure Ian this year is going to be more careful to when he will and interact with us to avoid people who want to go to far with their comments and all about his work. I wouldn't blame him one bit if he decided not to post here at all. Who knows.

If everyone was posting about how awesome this info was there would be no problem. That's just not the case though. We learned from the past and we feel we know where this is headed. We have all been loyal fans who invest our hard earned cash every year. We have the RIGHT to call it as we see it. We have wowed EA and the gaming industry for years with our dedication. We deserve the same in return. That's all we want. We feel we are the unappreciated wives, that have ironed EA's clothes and put food in their mouths only to be shunned, called fat, told to loose weight, cheated on, and told that we could never find anyone else to love us.
